Diesel Smoke

[mrkilborn]

Well, good ol' vin_diesel finally posted a message today. In the post (which was public but then removed, I'm sure because of embarrassment from a yet-to-be-seen level of fakery - which speaks volumes for this post when you think about it), he basically stated that he needed to be hounded, that he hadn't posted anything to his LJ in a long time, that [he] (his brackets, not mine) was having problems and that he actually was on AIM at the scheduled time of Midnight Eastern/9PM pacific, but only stayed on for three minutes before giving up. (!)

Well, folks, that just shows how this guy saw this whole thing. It's pretty simple and pretty basic. If you agree to appear on the show, appear! I can't babysit, coddle, feed and change the diapers of guests. I'm preparing the show! I'm writing stuff to be funny and to make you, as the guest, look good. I can't hold your hand and remind you like you're in kindergarten that 9 comes after 8 and that's when you're supposed to be here.

I'm doing all of the work. All you need to do is be there and be ready to talk and have some fun.

More importantly, if I ask you if you want to appear on the program and you can't or don't want to, say no. It won't hurt my feelings. I understand that people have their own things going on, and may not have the time or the energy to make it. But if you say yes, and you aren't heard from again after the yes, the assumption is, yes, you are going to be there.

So, was it me, or was it him?

Me either mi amor. Want me to beat him up or give him a Spanish tongue lashing?

[c-diaz.livejournal.com]

I'd certainly like a spanish tounge lashing.

I could do more than lashing with my tongue.

Craig honey, you shouldn't have been stood up. We're all adults or at least supposedly responsible, so it should have been handled as professionally as possible..ie, a note or call or something [heck a comment in your journal if need be] letting you know.

Just my opinion

It's not you. It's hard to imagine getting far in your career with that attitude too.

I've seen em come and I've seen em go. No one in this biz can afford to treat it like an ex girlfriend. Keep your commitments people its that simple!

*laughs*

i'm agreed with you as ever! seeing as craig organised it all so well and it went wrong, i decided i wanted to be interviewed next because he's so great at what he does and i wanted to have a laugh with him :)

so yey! come and look at my brilliance!!

First off, snide icon scares me!!

Secondly it is not you. We talked about this though...you've not done anything wrong. It's the selfish attitude of others that is the problem. I got to see the post before he conveniently deleted it and nothing in it was redeeming.

It's his loss, because bad press goes a lot farther than good press.

It was him, man. He should've been there.
