Weekend Update

Productive weekend so far. We've constructed more of the skeleton for the Class of 2007 at www.KillerYear.com, and will be adding much more in short time. This is such a thrilling project, and will hopefully help the debut crime novelists of 2007 showcase their upcoming work. If you're a 2007 debut crime novelist and haven't joined, what's the matter with you?

Also, in the very near future I'll have some announcements of my own, regarding more writing I'll be doing as well as some exciting news on the ThrillerFest front.

Oh, and just wanted to throw this out there...is it just me or is Julia Stiles the most irritating actress working today? Every time I see a commercial for the remake of "The Omen" I want to dive into a pile of thumbtacks. Julia usurped the Most Annoying Actress throne from Juliette Lewis, who gave me migraines until she got a sense of humor on "I Love the 80's."

Julia Stiles has this attitude, kind of like that snotty girl in high school who was in every school play, and considered herself above the lowly plebians because she was a "thespian." Her boyfriends were all unemployed painters in their 30's, and she inevitably ended up going to Vassar.

Rob Schneider owns the throne of Most Annoying Actor, and something tells me he won't be overthrown in my lifetime.

But I digress...

I totally forgot about Ben Stiller! He's neck and neck with Rob Schneider! Thanks Bryon, I never would have forgave myself if I'd let Stiller off the hook.

LOL on Julia Stiles! All I really know about her is she was totally miscast in The Bourne Identity.

I'll give you Julia Stiles since Rosie Perez hasn't been in anything of note lately. Boy, does SHE annoy me.

Looking forward to the announcements!!

Ah Rosie, the only person who could have singlehandedly almost ruined "White Men Can't Jump." Lucky for us she seems to have a crummy agent.

With you completely on Rob Schneider and Ben Stiller. I do think, however, that each has one exception to the rule:

Ben Stiller: Mystery Men, because Mr. Furious needed that over-the-top in-your-face pathetic style to pull off the movie.

Rob Schneider: Judge Dredd, because again, the character had to be annoying. Come on, how can you not love "The servo-droid is your friend. Please let your friend through."
