Thanks for trying to kill me, Target.

My dog, Dr. Wesley Von Spears, loves toys. He loves them so much he'll knows most of them specifically by name (such as the famous and sexy "Saliva Bear", the background photo on my home page.)

THE MORE HAIR METAL PART

Something I didn't realize when embarking on the 12 DAYS OF HAIR METAL project with Terra Naomi was that those fucking American Idols always look on the verge of breakdown learning just a couple of songs a week.  And they're just singing the motherfucking things, or maybe doing a dance that requires walking to four different parts of the stage and swinging their arms.  And here Terra was learning to play and sing 12 songs in 12 days, and doing each of them in a unique fashion.  She didn't know any of these songs a few days ago.  To repent for the hardship I'm putting Terra through, I'm going to rape an American Idol.

Here are a couple of videos KICKIN' IT OLD SKOOL'S star Michael Rosenbaum and I made yesterday where we discuss the making of PG PORN: the PEANUS episodes. Believe me, there is absolutely no substance here: it's just us fucking around. Check out the cameo by Von Spears:

Last night my brother and I had one of our Sunset Sunday get-togethers, and invited some of the Scream Queens for the first time, along with the regular cast of characters. We all had a fantastic night, so I thought I'd quickly share these photos with you.

When Terra Naomi and I think of CHRISTMAS, we think of HAIR METAL. So what better way to celebrate this holiday season than 12 DAYS OF HAIR METAL?

Every day leading up to Christmas we will be posting another Terra cover of a Hair Metal song. First up, HOUSE OF PAIN, by FASTER PUSSYCAT...

So for months now I've been talking about the HORROR DIRECTORS DO COMEDY series on XBOX LIVE, where filmmakers like myself, SAW's James Wan, HARD CANDY's David Slade, HATCHET's Adam Green, AMITYVILLE HORROR's Andrew Douglas, and MAY's Lucky McKee are doing comedy shorts for free HD play on Xbox. And, of course, the show I'm doing as part of that series is HUMANZEE!

Unfortunately, um, well, uh... HUMANZEE! was deemed a bit too, how shall we say, EXTREME, for our Xbox Live sponsors. I tried to tell them that it wasn't MY fault that my half-human/half-chimp son loves to kill women and eat babies. HUMANZEE! is a hard-hitting look at the world of human-animal hybrids! We had no choice but to show the cold, dark truth of what goes on in these situations!

Yo!  So the supertrailer for my new VH1 reality show, SCREAM QUEENS, is up now!  Check this shit out:

In the above trailer, there are two faces who may be recognizable to those of you familiar with the James Gunn coterie of friends.  Can you find them?!  I'll send a signed SLiTHER poster to the first person who can find them both, and say exactly where they are in the trailer.

And here's a picture of all the girls, each of them dying for a starring role in SAW 6...

WHY ARIA GIOVANNI WAS AFRAID OF KISSING NATHAN FILLION

For those of you who are fans of adult star Aria Giovanni, you likely know that she has never kissed a man onscreen. That's right. No B/G for Ms. Giovanni. All of her erotic scenes have been either solo or with other women. So Aria was, to say the least, extremely surprised when she showed up to set when we shot the first episode of PG-PORN, 'NAILING YOUR WIFE', and discovered that she was supposed to kiss a man onscreen. It seems she somehow didn't get the second page of the three page script (don't even ask me how Aria even made sense of the script in the first place). Here Aria and I, in another video interview, discuss the horrible truth about having to kiss Nathan Fillion...

That's right.  The first episode of JAMES GUNN'S PG-PORN, 'NAILING YOUR WIFE' starring Nathan Fillion and Aria Giovanni, has finally arrived.  You can watch it yourself at Spike.com.

Here's some video from the CUT! Film Festival in LA. back in March. It's courtesy of the gorgeous Thomas Cunningham (AKA Tommy the Zombie Slayer). The festival was a blast, and it was wonderful seeing the movie with Rooker, Nathan Fillion, and Gregg Henry. We made the movie two years ago as co-workers and, now, two years later, we got to sit in a theater and watch it together as good friends. What made the screening even more fun was sitting in an audience with people I have known from MySpace who traveled from all over the country to be there! Thanks to all of you guys for coming.

I also like these videos because you guys can all see for yourselves how crazy Michael Rooker actually is. I'm not just fucking around when I tell crazy Rooker stories here in this blog -- he really is that fucking nuts!

Speaking of JGAS, there will be a LIVE CHAT with me this Friday, July 13, at 6 p.m. Pacific time. Just become a member at www.jgas.org and then log in to the chat on time at www.jgas.org.chat.html.

I'll be doing a Q&A with "Peep Show" cartoonist JOE MATT (www.myspace.com/josephmatt) this Friday night at Skylight Books in L.A. Here's the info:

I had so much fun with the Upright Citizen's Brigade a couple weeks ago, I'm going to do the same thing again with IO and the Armando Show. Working off of suggestions from the audience, I'll tell true stories about my life (perhaps as perfectly disgusting as the Twisticle story from UCB), and then the wonderful performers at IO will perform improv around them.

Here's where iO is:

The American Cinematheque will be screening THE SPECIALS. There was a screw-up earlier in terms of the date it was showing, but it is on the 22nd. Unfortunately, this is the day before Thanksgiving and I won't be around. Actually, I'm not sure WHO is going to be there on the day before Thanksgiving. But you might have a nice empty theater to yourself.

7:30 pm 1328 Montana Avenue at 14th Street in Santa Monica

This Wednesday, November 15, Jenna and I are going to be the guest hosts on LoveLine with Dr. Drew. Out here it's on K-ROQ from 10 to Midnight, but you can check out your local listings at www.lovelineshow.com/ for where and when it will be playing in your area. Jenna and I will be giving all of yous sexual advice, which means get ready to be fucked-in-the-head. Because, and I'm just telling you because you're my closest friends, but Jenna really digs Hot Carls. She'll be recommending a good Hot Carl to anyone who calls in to cure their penile dysfunction, sexual gender confusion, etc.

And this part is important: Call in with questions about LolliLove and SLiTHER. Otherwise it's just going to be Office, Office, Office all night long. The Office, of course, is marvelous. But I'm counting on you wonderful fucks to provide the variety.

If you're in Los Angeles this Tuesday, come to the Manhattan Monologue Slam where Jenna and I will both be judges in a monologue competition, along with Lacy Chabert (from PARTY OF MOTHERFUCKING FIVE, bitch!), Ileana Douglas, and Debra Wilson (from MadTV). Here's more info:

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14
DOORS OPEN 8:00PM, SHOW STARTS 8:30PM sharp
IVAR, 6356 HOLLYWOOD BLVD. (enter on Ivar)
FREE ADMISSION * _ OFF BUDWEISER ALL NIGHT

Oh yeah, and don't be afraid to come up and introduce yourself. Maybe Lacy Chabert will freak if you come up and take physical liberties with her, but I'm cool with it. I'm always bummed when you guys write me messages after these events saying you were there and were too shy/scared/lame/sexually excited to come up and introduce yourself. That means you, Nathan Fillion.

Do you guys know the Upright Citizens Brigade? They're this hilarious group of improvisers here in L.A. and in New York. The fine-as-wine Amy Poehler (who is about to star with my wife in BLADES OF GLORY) is a member.

Anyway, they asked me to do a special Halloween show this Sunday night in L.A. The deal is I'll go up there, get thrown ideas from the audience, and tell stories about my life. The Upright Citizens Brigade will, in turn, do improvisational scenes based upon my life. It should be a lot of fun, and if you're in L.A., or near here, you should come check it out. Oh yeah, and it's free! (But, due to the freeness, you should get there early - supposedly a line starts forming around 6:30.) I'll try to hang out afterwards and meet people.

11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. - Wrap up Q &A with all the panelists.

12 p.m. - Wrap party brunch for everyone.

2:35 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. - I'll be doing a panel on "Tricks I Know about Screenwriting." I'll be doing this one with Mary Harron, who wrote and directed the new Bettie Page movie, as well as AMERICAN PSYCHO and I SHOT ANDY WARHOL.

4 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. - I'll be doing a panel called ALONE IN THE DARK about writing horror. Uh, did anyone get Uwe's permission to use this title? Isn't it a bad omen to use a Uwe Boll title as a panel name?... anyway, I'm doing the panel with Mary Harron again, Dan Madigan, who wrote SEE NO EVIL, April Smith, who wrote NIGHTMARES & DREAMSCAPES, AND the great Larry Cohen of IT'S ALIVE, Q, THE STUFF, and GOD TOLD ME TO fame! All jokes about Uwe aside, this should be an awesome panel, and, as usual, I probably won't agree with anyone else on it.

At 6:30 p.m. there's a VIP party. Since I don't know how many actual VIP's will be at this conference, it may be fairly easy to get into. Who knows. I probably shouldn't even be putting it in here.

Loads of SLiTHER interviews and more, at Horror.com, here.

SLiTHER Village Voice Review
by Matt Singer
Good zombie movies are metaphorical; Slither allegorizes living-dead horror as a critique of the American heartland's boundless gluttony. The film's aliens enter their victims through the mouth or stomach and compel people to consume endless quantities of meatthey grow so morbidly obese that they literally explode with extraterrestrial evil. Writer-director James Gunn, who wrote Tromeo & Juliet and the Dawn of the Dead remake, is obviously a fan of the genre...

Video Interview with Nathan Fillion and Elizabeth Banks: here.

SLiTHER
By Joe Leydon

"Slither" is a gleefully nasty and ingeniously twisted horror-comedy that pits a populace of heavily armed but mostly clueless rednecks against flesh-eating zombies, slimy extraterrestrial slugs and an acid-spewing, multitentacled mutant. Call it "Night of the Living Dead" meets "Tremors." Scripter James Gunn infuses the pic, his debut feature as a director, with the exuberance of a movie geek given carte blanche to play fast and loose with the cliches and conventions of his favorite films. Result is a rock-the-house crowd-pleaser for genre aficionados, though its breakout potential appears iffy.
