LONDON PREMIERE BLOOD AND PISS AND SHIT


So the London premiere was really fun lots of people and lots of boozing back at the hotel afterwards.
The night ended when Ant Timpson (EP) order 55 beers on room service and they worked out we were having a party.

The night before that was full on. Went out drinking and ended up at a weird illegal underground bar. A Beer cheers went badly wrong smashing a heiniken bottle into my hand.

Huge gapping wound in may hand and in Ants. There ended up being a bright trail of blood and glass between us and the bar.

Anyway I went back to my hotel room and went to sleep. When i woke it was like some one had been murdered. The room was covered in bloody towels as was the TV, my laptop and half the mini bar. Worse still I lying in a pool of my own blood about the same size as my body.

I was weak from blood loss and could hardly stand up but managed to escape before house cleaning turned up.

Good times.

So it's just a few more days in London then off to LA and then back home to NZ for the DEVIL realease on 11th October


fuck yeah

BERLIN


In Berlin for a few days for some screenings of Devil.
Found out the stunt Co-ordinator from the movie Mark Horwell works as a stunt man at a movie park. Went to see his show it was fucking cool. Mad Max style. The dude is the star of the show. Thousands of screaming germans were watching the show. Afterward Chris jumped off the set.


We also found this giant King Kong statue. It looks like it's having a wank.

HAMBURGLER




So Hamburg ruled went to a huge beer drinking hall.
Sung German drinking songs with some cool Germans.
Then went to Devil Screening which went well and then went to some bar somewhere in Hamburg that played cool rock music and we played table soccer.

Then was really wasted and went to some weird street with girls in windows and then went to dozens of streets full of thousands of drunk people, then drank more beers and more beers and then snorted some horrible stuff and then some how made it back to my hotel and then

I discovered some cunt had pick pocket my fucking wallet.

200 pounds and some Euros and my credit cards and all my important stuff - gone.
Only had enough cash to pay for my journey back to London and a Bratwurst. Which was the worst wurst I have ever had.



But on the good side we drove on the Autobahn from Berlin which has no speed limit.

You can drive at 200kpr no one cares in fact it's encouraged. People were passing us . The flash dudes drive at 280.

Makes intercity travel very fun indeed.

New Zealand should be ashamed of it's pathetic 100km limit.

GERMANY:THE RING AND THE TOWER


So we are in Germany and it is awesome.

Landed in Köln, checked into the hotel, went to the theatre introduced the film, had some beers and then did the Q and A.

The Germans seemed to like the film. Much laughing in the right places.

Most people I meet here have trouble understanding my dodgy South Island form of the English language so some of the dialogue jokes may not have come across.
But Devil is not a dialogue heavy film so - sweet as.

That night we went out for a drink with Marcus from legend films and Frederike from the FANTASY FESTIVAL.

We were introduced to this amazing thing called 'Das Ring'. It is basically eight beers in a wooden ring .
We were so keen to experience the German culture that we had three of these rings and ended up drunk as fuck.


The following morning it was time to go to BOCHUM.

Drunkenly we made a plan with Frederike to meet at the Koln Cathedral so she could show us where to catch the train .
Now neither me nor Chris were clever enough to have phones that work in Germany. So we arrive at the Cathedral and it was massive.
There are about 3000 people taking photos and so we couldn't find Frederike, we completely missed our train and had to work out how to get to BOCHUM our selves.

Which we did - sweet as.
Just hours late and hundreds of dollars wasted.

In BOCHUM we stayed at the coolest hotel Tucholsky Art Hotel it was flash as all hell with individually designed rooms. My room had a stupidly big bathroom and Chris' was some kind of Japanese design.

The screening went really well again with much laughter. After the Q and A we went drinking in a BOCHUM center know as the Bermuda Triangle.
It is basically this massive area with hundreds of outside bars.
So many bars infact it is very easy to get lost.

It was there in the Bermuda Triangle that we discovered - THE TOWER.
A huge amount of beer served in a massive tower with a tap at the bottom.
Our German friends laughed and said we would never defeat the tower but we did.
And in record time.
Then stumbled back to our classy hotel. Avoiding the perils of the Bermuda triangle.

Now it is off to BERLIN for more screenings.
But to get there we must travel at many hundreds of Kilometers an hour on a high speed train.
What amazing adventures will we get up to next?

DEVIL IN SAN FRAN

Hey I got this email from this dude that was at a screening of devil in San Francisco the other night.

Hi guys,

I'm a Kiwi living in London and over in San Francisco for work.

Was trying to find something to do tonight, and flicked through a mag
and it featured your movie. Checked out your site and found it was
actually playing tonight at the Roxie, and thought if I miss this I'll
never get to see it. (Somehow can't quite see Air NZ playing it on
flights.)

Well, when we got there the Frightfest festival director heard me
talking, asked if I was a Kiwi and got me to introduce the film!
Lucky I had bought that BoTY video off ya a couple of years ago!
(Otherwise I would have had to make shit up. I did anyway but they'll
never know. Arseholes. Told them Randy Campbell was real.)

What was great was realising at the end that they didn't get some of
the really fucking funny jokes:

Is there really a Bruno Lawrence studio?
Does Auckland really have a big hollywood style sign?

(Yes, I was actually asked both of these!)

And best of all, they thought Te Puke had a strip! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Man are they going to be shitted if they ever visit!

Anyway, cheers for a f-ing good night out!

DEVIL VS HOT ROD

Hey so there is this movie that comes out in the US this week that has pretty much the same plot as The Devil Dared Me To.

It appears to be scarily similar.

Whilst I think there is plenty of room in the world for two movies about stunt men and I reckon I will probably like this Hot Rod film when I see it.

I still feel good about this review here

DEVIL Vs HOT ROD


In other news fuck all going on just hanging in LONDON till we head to some Fantasy Festivals in Germany.
