Damn… I’ve been played like a used violin. Remember a few days ago I posted a story that Rob McKittrick (director of waiting) put up on his personal blog about a huge meltdown on set between him and Luis Guzman? In that post I said: Up until this point I’ve really liked the work of Luis Guzman… and I guess I still do. But as of right now I have absolutely ZERO respect for this higher-than-thou, non-professional, egotistical piece of shit. Well scratch that… I like Guzman again… because it was all a hoax.
A second video has been released by McKittrick showing the two coming back into the room where all the other actors were waiting and letting thme in on the fact that it was all a joke. Let me tell you something… as far as believable pranks go… this was a GOOD one. It had me fooled… I think it had most of you fooled too.
So now McKittrick is telling the world on his blog that it was all a gag to try to generate publicity for his movie “Waiting”.
But here’s the thing… I love good practical jokes… harmless ones anyway. But there is just something about using his blog to do it to the public. I guess to me… the personal blog is that ONE place where you know there isn’t any bullshit. The one place that a person tells it like it is… where you don’t have to worry about “is this true or not”. Media sites can BS… official sites can BS… but I’ve always felt like a persons personal blog should be that ONE place where what you read can be trusted. I guess not.
So yeah. I loved the joke… but I really wish he didn’t use his blog as the place to spread it. Now I’m not sure what to trust.
