Tucker Max's face, meet Megan ******'s hand
Megan was discussing ball shaving with a nice man at a tailgate. Good start to this story;) NE ways, Tucker Max was also at the tailgate and started talking shit to Megan (he obviously thought she was a hot girl who would sleep w/ him if acted like an asshole, and he was showing off in front of his buddies). Megan hit him on the arm, and he said that meant Megan wanted to fuck him because if she hit him in the face, then he'd know she was mad. She then dissed his elastic waistband (yes, he was wearing elastic waistband shorts, what is he, 12?), and he said "its so stupid bitch whores like you can suck my dick without any confusion." So she slapped him in the face!!!
Tucker threw his drink at her, Candice threw her drink at Tucker with lightning fast reflexes, then he proceeded to grab Megan by her hair and hit her in the face with his pathetically small hands. With a bruised face, and a bruised ego, he took his shriveled penis back to his buddies.
In Tucker Max's own words, "My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole." Oh, and he hits girls.

INT. BABY DOLLS BATHROOM - SIMULTANEOUS
A bunch of young good-looking guys are primping and freshening up. They’re in shorts, flip-flops, tattered University of South Carolina “COCKS” hats, and fraternity sweatshirts that spell words like “CUM, ”“ROD,” “DIK” and “SAK” in Greek letters.
CUM
Have you taken a look out there yet? It’s a sea of uglies and old lady parties. Hardly any hotties.
ROD
Are there blue light specials tonight?
DIK
What’s a blue light special?
CUM
If a party comes in and pays the owner enough, he’ll set them up with a live sex show upstairs. To let the dancers know, he puts them at a table with a blue lamp.
DIK
They get to have sex with the strippers?
ROD
Most of the time, if they want.
SAK
It’s super sketchy. I wouldn’t do it.
ROD
Fucking newbie. Yo, where the hell is the other newbie? The show starts in like 30 seconds.
DIK
I hope he shows up, I don’t want to get stuck gaming the sea donkey table.
Tucker emerges from the stall as the ambient music outside starts playing, the crowd starts cheering, and the Frat Boys ramp up and charge toward the door. Thank god. The show’s about to start, bro. Let’s go.
Tucker is confused and being drunk isn’t helping matters.
SAK, ROD, AND CUM
LET’S GO! LET’S GO! LET’S GO!
They charge out, pushing Tucker along with them. One of them slams an extra “COCKS” hat on his head.
CUT TO:
INT. BABY DOLLS - CONTINUOUS
The lights go down and “Girls, Girls, Girls” by Motley Crue comes on. Five seconds into the song, it screeches to a halt, and “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls comes on. The Frat Boys come running out onto the main stage with Tucker.
INT. BABY DOLLS - BACHELORETTE TABLE - CONTINUOUS
JEFF
Wait. You can’t be serious.
MARY
I thought you knew.
The music is building, the crowd is going crazy. The Frat Boys get into their stripper routine. Tucker thinks they are on stage to fuck with the female strippers, so he’s into it.
Jeff and Aaron stand up, mouths agape.
AARON
I always wondered if the rumors were true.
JEFF
Great Holy Jesus.
CUT TO:
INT. BABY DOLLS - MAIN STAGE - CONTINUOUS
DIK and CUM see Tucker not so much dancing, but just running around being a dumbass.
DIK
This new guy sucks.
CUM
He’s definitely getting the grandmas and those fucking bankers.
CUT TO:
INT. BABY DOLLS - BACHELORETTE TABLE - CONTINUOUS
JEFF
How would we know this is what Ladies Night meant?! Why did you even invite us?
AMY
You aren’t gay?
JEFF
NO!
AMY
But you (pointing to Jeff) completely blew me off. And he (pointing to Aaron) is so meticulous and anal that he didn’t even want me to touch him.
JEFF
(pointing to Tucker)
What about him?! He’s been running game at you all night.
AMY
We thought he was a power top, or maybe bi. No straight guy overcompensates as much as he does.
CUT TO:
INT. BABY DOLLS - MAIN STAGE - CONTINUOUS
DIK and CUM dance over and swing Tucker toward the front of the main stage. Tucker has a moment of realization: this isn’t a prank--they are male strippers. They pull off his shirt. DIK reaches for Tucker’s waistband and deftly unbuttons the top button. Tucker sucker punches him, knocking him into a heap on the stage. The dancers stop in shock.
AARON
Oh no.
The dancers turn and close menacingly on Tucker. They are greased up and pissed off. Two of the old ladies parked at the front of the stage are the first to react.
MABEL
Why’d he hit him? I love DIK!
ESTHER
Maybe it’s West Side Story Night!
One of the dancers charges Tucker and tackles him. Jeff and Aaron rush the stage, scattering the dancers. The old ladies charge in swinging their purses at Aaron and Jeff.
CUT TO:
EXT. REAR OF BABY DOLLS STRIP CLUB - MOMENTS LATER
A door opens and bouncers hurl the guys into the alley. Tucker pops up and kicks and hits the back door.
TUCKER
Come back out here, Delta Delta Douchebags!! I’ll kick all your asses!
Let’s go!
Tucker turns to find Jeff and Aaron in the trash, rolling around in hysterics.
JEFF
You said I would thank you when the dancers came out. You were right, man. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
TUCKER
Fuck you, motherfuckers!
JEFF
I can’t believe you cold-cocked that guy.
TUCKER
What was I supposed to do!?
JEFF
I don’t know, but almost anything would have been better than knocking him out. I think you put him in the hospital.

That isn't just creepy and weird, that is Tucker Max creepy and weird.
Hey Tucker, I'll tell you which comments I know you wrote if you post a link to your new and improved script.
I can only assume from your cavalier attitude that you have yet to partake in the wonderment that is script v12.
Longcat is loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.
someone who has a copy of the script should post tucker's phone number so we can call him and tell him how much this script sucks.
Vague Movie Genre over at Maddox. The revolution eats its young. Or kittens... or something. Anyway:
http://maddox.xmission.com/
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
I'm not sure, but that Maddox update was terrible. I couldn't even make it through the whole body of the page.
I love you guys. Y'all are my best friends.
Unfortunately, the trailer to Maddox's fake film is better then the script for Tucker's real film.
Max Tucker is such a prima-donna - someone gets his name wrong, so he goes crying to his message board. Nobody cares what your name is, so wipe your tears, bitch!
If Tucker really wrote that scene of the strip club, he has got to be a latent homosexual.
The strip club scene was icing on the cake. The proof that Tucker has serious homosexual fantasies was revealed during the McGriddles scene. Somehow the word "disturbing" isn't enough.
Tucker Max is a gay man.
A couple of fart and anal-rape jokes do not a comedy make.
What if Tucker lied about hooking up with girls to cover up his homosexuality? What if Tucker really was a big old queen?
Tucker's got a longing for pole.
CD told me I wasn't allowed to write about it, because, in his words, "Everyone is reading your blog now and I don't want to have to deal with an hour of phone calls from agents."
Everybody's reading your blog, just like everybody's reading your script. Laughing at it, not with it.
When this movie fails in the most horrible way possible, will Tucker finally get a life, or will he be stuck in a perpetual cycle of failure, Death of a Salesman style?
This is awesome.
Perez Hilton has kicked Tucker's ass, and he did it without the help of viacom and duke douchebaggery:
http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/04/09/perez-hilton-hits-the-airwaves-good-move/
Check out all the press:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=perez+hilton&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn
And still there is no HR nor Variety article that Tucker promised...
It's funny that while Tucker has to rely on viacom and duke douchebaggery, and then wait for HR and Variety, Prez just went ahead and launched an empire.
look at tucker's massively declining traffic as douchebaggery goes out of style:

and tucker even had a had start and duke & viacom backing
Here is Tucker's revolution:
Go to college.
Go to law school.
Get subprime corporate backing from viacom.
Act like a douchebag.
Promise HR stories and Variety stories that never materialize.
Fail.
This has never been done before.
I think it might be true that everybody is reading his blog about the movie. I know I am. It is the funniest thing Tucker has ever written. Plus its such a cliffhanger. Will the movie ever get made? If it does will it suck as much as I excpect it to? Will The Hollywood Reporter story ever come about? Will KFM, Drex and Holiday ever get off Tucker's cock?
I for one really hope the movie gets made. Not that I'll ever see it but if it gets made Tucker will have to promote it by going on TV and Radio. We all know how hysterical the outcome of this scenerio can be.
Let the records show that on 3-23-08 tucker max did state "The movie is about 10-18 months away from theaters".
This time next year he'll say it will be released it 12 months, then when that's up, another 6 months....ad infinitum.
I was on the road this morning and passed a poster for some movie called "College Road Trip" or something close to that.
So how the heck is Tucker's dumb story "revolutionary?"
"So how the heck is Tucker's dumb story "revolutionary?""
The story isn't revolutionary, the way he's set up his financing/distribution is.
Unfortunately, it's not at all revolutionary. Roger Corman has been using the same business model for years.
Tucker really believes that the film will make 25 million the first weekend. I doubt it makes 1% of that. He figures his Alexa rankings will be an indicator of ticket sales. I'd say that's wishful thinking at best. The script I've read is a bastardization of everything that Tucker worked for. It's thematically thin (his book, for all it's faults, played around with a number of themes, knowingly or unknowingly), it's badly written, the dialogue, which works well in literature, comes off as fake. The plot is horrendous.
Tucker stumbled onto his profession. Yes he's somewhat successful, but he has no disipline as a writer. He blew his wad on one book and has nothing else to fall back on. His next book might not even be released, and if it does, I don't think it's going to be all that great. He's got nothing left to write about. His "stories" are nothing but embellishments that he could get away with when he was a nobody. Now that he's semifamous, he's got no chance of fabricating or bullshiting about stories. Not with people looking for the next James Frey. He's not going to mature as a writer, which is a shame, because he did show some potential as a storyteller in IHTSBIH.
So now we have a movie to wait for. The script that he was promoting a few months back has been proven to be total crap. He's saying the same things about his new script and touting it as a "big hit". The one thing that I can give Tucker credit for is that he at least tries to do it his own way, but even then it's hollow. He just believes that if he calls himself a "film producer" he can easily step in and everything will go Tucker Max Awesome. He has a history of doing things like this with other facets of his life, and usually he falls flat on his face. I wouldn't bet against him falling on his face as a film producer.
His film probably will get made, but I don't think anybody will care to see it. What once made Tucker funny has long gone away. One part of what made him funny was that he came off like a pretty cool guy, but he always seemed to do douchebag things that backfired on himself. He also wrote about things like regret, fate, friends as family, etc. None os this is around anymore in his work. Now his writing is all about how awesome he is and how big of a star he is or will be. What once made him a favorite of mine has all but dried up. I can't imagine his new book (if it gets released) being any better then IHTSBIH, especially with the delay in the release date.
Oh well Tucker, I hope the ride was worth it to you. You've effectively ended your career as a writer, and a film maker. You've also ended any chance of ever getting work in the real world since there's a record of what kind of person you are in your blogs. Good luck with the rest of your life.
"Tucker really believes that the film will make 25 million the first weekend. I doubt it makes 1% of that. He figures his Alexa rankings will be an indicator of ticket sales. I'd say that's wishful thinking at best. "
I doubt it even gets theater distribution. Perhaps in a few small theaters, but the larger places won't even touch it, he's not that well known and it's not that good of a project. He could go the John Cassavetes route and take them to small individual theaters and offer them a much larger cut of the pie. Unfortunately for Tucker that avenue is risky for the owners. They must have films that people know about and must keep their seats full. They'll show a National Lampoon film before they show his movie because NL is a brand people recognize.
On the otherhand, the indie film community probably won't pick up on it either (like they did with Napoleon Dynamite). It's an "indie" film in that it's financed independantly, but Tucker's work has none of the artistic nuances that other films the indie crowd goes for. It's not quirky, it's not even funny. There are no real themes that are even being played with. It's pretty much a straight up comedy like Wedding Crashers, only it's not funny. I can't see indie film theaters picking it up,even with a bigger cut of the profits. To them it's a low brow comedy and everything indie films try and go away from.
His best bet will be a straight to video film along with the film being released on the same day on PPV. Of course he's going to have 6 million to pay back to investors, so there goes any and all profits he hopes to make. He'll be incredibly lucky to break even.
He's painted himself into a huge whole with this project. It has to do well. It just has to. The problem I personally have with Tucker is that he tells everybody that sometimes you have to be honest with yourself. I don't think I've seen Tucker be honest with anybody including himself in regards to this movie. I know he's a liar and a hypocrite, but Jesus Christ.
From Tucker, saying why Justin Timberlake is a bad choice to play him:
We need an actor that will become Tucker Max. That will be occupy this role and become who the public sees as 'Tucker Max' and for the rest of his life be known as Tucker Max. That role is so big and so defining and so new, we have to have a nobody, someone without any baggage from any other roles, come in and make it his own and become Tucker Max.
Dear God, the ego on this man. Now, casting Timberlake would probably be a huge mistake, but not for the reasons that Tucker lists. Tucker is so full of himself that he really thinks this will be a defining role for whichever actor they get; that this role is so HUGE, so monumental that it will be listed along the lines of Ben Hur, Spartacus, Lawrence of Arabia and other cinematic greats. Is he serious? I mean, really, this is going way, WAY off the deep-end of narcissism. It is truly unbelievable.
One more nugget of Tucker wisdom:
The guy we cast as Tucker Max will be someone who is basically unknown outside of Hollywood. You might know him from some small role he played in something else, but he won't be a household name to anyone but his family.
In other words, "there is no way we can actually get a name actor, so now I'm trying to preemptively cover why, if the THR article ever comes out, no one will have ever heard of anyone attached to this project."
Tucker truly is a revolutionary. He's going to take over the movie industry by using Hollywood failures and never weres! How innovative.
In other words, my huge ego is going to kill any chance this movie might have had.
There's no way this is a 6 million dollar film.
It's a 6 million dollar movie how? With a no-name cast and a no-name "indie film" director? With a rewrite at that abortion of a script?
This film won't even get distribution.
If Tucker were running Hollywood, Charleton Heston would have never played Moses, nor Ben Huur.
Clint Eastwood would have never played dirty harry.
Anthony Hopkins would have never played C.S. Lewis.
Sean Connery would have never played James Bond.
Tucker would have waited to get a nobody for all these roles.
Tucker would have cast himself to play all the roles.
of course. why have a big name, with legions of fans that equate to guaranteed ticket sales, when you can have a nobody. yet another brilliant strategy.
i know i've said this before, but when you think about all the work involved in getting a film made, and combine that with the dogshit script tucker's peddling, the chances of this thing actually getting made are very, very slim. wasn't casting supposed to be done months ago? do they even have their director signed?
Tucker is just putting "spin" on the fact that NO name actor wants anything to do with this disaster.
Justin Timberlake wanting to play Tucker Max? PUH-LEEZE!
Tucker cast Paul Wall to play Tucker.
^Then who's gonna play Grillionaire?
Paul Wall. He's going to play everything. They ran out of money already, so they're having to double-cast.

---------------------------
This really Tucker just basically saying "We asked Justin Timeberlake if he would like to play me in the movie and he laughed at us"
I can not WAIT to see who he gets for this movie. when the details are released (by Tucker because THR decided not to do the story because "The main stream media are all assholes who don't understand how I'm trying to revolutionize film) it's going to be a fucking landslide of comedy.
Tucker's blog about movies is the funniest thing he's written in years. Unfortunately, the joke is on him, When the film fails horrifically, he'll have a roadmap that clearly show that he's MAKING EVERY SINGLE DECISION.
Justin Timberlake? He's lucky if he ends up with Devon Sawa.
Oh, Jesus, Tucker the notorious liar actually told the TRUTH for once:
From his own mouth, er, fingers:
"This particular film will never be considered great cinema or even good comedy..."
http://messageboard.tuckermax.com/showthread.php?t=21054
Second to last paragraph. Comedy gold, though I doubt our favorite douche would realize it.
^On this website, we spell it "douce".
Oy, I should have known that that egotistical fuck would never admit that his script (and by extension, he himself) sucks ass.
That post I referenced was from Drex. Hey Tucker, you faggot, listen to your butt buddy and quit while you're ahead. Wait, strike that. You aren't ahead, so just quit before you embarrass yourself any further.
I would be interested in a betting pool concerning Tucker's movie - when it comes out, how much money it brings in, etc. Then his forum douchebags could pull their tounges out of tucker's ass and put their money on the table.
Here's IHTSBIH in 4 minutes and 33 seconds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNrhmbc0y_8
It's the entire structure of a big Tucker Max night.
To 1:41 P.M.:
Yup. That's Tucker's movie condensed, but his script lacks, (and movie if it ever gets made will lack) that very cool twist at the end.
No, I think he's right. Tucker is a woman in male clothing in a figurative sense. Dude's the biggest pussy on the planet.
"So we have attached our first actor to the movie. The guy who is going to play the character based on SlingBlade is...
You're just going to have to wait until the announcement in the trades."
Yeah... right. Right after his movie annoucement comes out in the trades. Dude's bluffing like bitch... which is to say, not very well at all.
Crap, it's like this board are the ONLY people on the Internet who are still interested in Tucker Max or anything he does. . .
Google him, and what comes up? A bunch of articles from 2-4 years ago. Lately?
That's the beautiful thing about fame in the 21st century -- the Internet will supply you with an ample amount of rope to hang yourself. . .
I doubt that any posters or readers on this board are actually INTERESTED in tucker max. I suspect that bashing him is merely a modest source of amusement for all involved. What's TM's word for that, a "wahooing" or something of the like?
Surely you jest! IHTSBIH has a cool twist at the end: After being a telephone bitch the entire movie, Tucker throws his phone out the window.
You see, Tucker lives life his own way, by his own rules.
I've read V12. It's horrible as well. I'd post it but I only have a hard copy that an actor friend of mine got when they were pursuing him to play the lead. He literally laughed his ass off on how bad it was and has passed around copies to people.
The bottom line is it's badly writen. Structurally it's still a huge mess, the characters are paper thin and have virtually no development. He has no plot points to fall back on and the main character is completely dislikable. I won't even go into the dialogue, it's like bad porno.
Suffice to say if you've read V8 or whatever, then you've got the general idea of the level of "comedy" he's going for. I've read both and I can say without hesitation that they both suck.
I don't know what his book was like but his screenwriting is a joke. This was based on a New York Times bestseller? Who reads this sort of junk? Better question, who put money into this?
V12 in hard copy only? Damn. Maybe Tucker tried limiting pdf distribution, given the humiliating reception online. My suggestion to Tucker: Try Braille for V13.
I agree that Tucker sucks and all, but anonymous at 12:12 is lying. Since when do actors get to keep scripts from projects they read for?
From Tucker:
The breakdown went out this morning, and being that my phone number is on the cover page of the script, I have been getting calls all morning from agents and managers.
One of the meetings we took today, the guy is almost always Offer Only, but he loved the script and wanted the role so much, he asked for a meeting to increase his chances of getting the role
Joe Nobody might come in and audition only having a 1 paragraph description of the movie and character, but the script is passed around to agents and talent higher up on the food chain.
Are there any significant differences in the new version?
4/12/2008 12:12 PM-
Can you contact your friend to get Tucker's phone number on the scipt's cover and post it here? I know Justin Timberlake and guarantee that I can put them in touch.
The major difference is that there is a professor character who sets off the whole idea to Tucker of fucking a midget. I'd say that it's about 60% of version v8 and 40% new stuff.
The douchebag's phone number appears on the cover of script 9 as so: 323-351-7640. Record and post your calls to him!
Does he get a midget drunk then feel her tits and masturbate when she's passed out? Or is this fiction?
Max Tucker is a midget predator! But then, what else can you expect from a fellow who's "art" consists of fart jokes and crude sexual innuendo?
this is awesome.
tucker has been blabbing about his movie for years, and so far there's one person in this universe willing to associate their name with the ultimate suckadelic douchebaggery of his suckadelic film project: tucker max.
Tucker: I know you will eventually read this comment.
You need to post the TuckerFest Disaster story. You've been promising to post it for FUCKING YEARS, and I for one have always wanted to know what the fuck "Tuckerfest" is supposed to mean.
maybe you should call him up and ask.
"What happened to the party?
4/13/2008 12:30 PM"
The script he handed in was turned down by the producers, who wanted to hire their own people to write the pilot and shut Tucker out of the project. Tucker had a hissy fit in their office and they decided they didn't want to work with him anymore and terminated their deal with him. This led to Tucker being let go by his agency and his manager which led to his stunning metamorphisis into a clueless "indy" film director.
The script he handed in was almost laughed out of the office by the execs. Tucker didn't end anything with them, unless you consider his lack of talent as a writer and producer an ending. He blew it. I can understand that he didn't want somebody else to rewrite his work, but his entire ego blew it for him to ever get anymore work in Hollywood ever.
His history of failure is consistent. I can't imagine him taking this stuff to a higher level.
If you have the time, drop these folks a line about tucker: http://www.godhatesfags.com/
They will picket him! It will be a battle of douchebags!
My problem with Mark Ebner isn't that he writes about Scientology and how it sucks. It's how little that Scientology has to do with my day to day life (none, other than what I read in tabloids) while Ebner could be going after another "religion" like the foreign cult of Sung Yung Moon (who actually owns and operates newspapers, buy governments, etc).
Mark, you're a good writer. We know Scientology is bogus. How about you put your pen to good use and go after the Moonies.
Oh, and do yourself a favor. Drop Rudius, they make you come off like an amateur. You don't need them, they need you. You and Greene are the only two legit writers on that site. You already know Tucker is full of shit, why have him take away from your status?
I don't get Ebner's whole Scientology crusade. Of course Scientology is bogus; so is Christianity, just like EVERY OTHER FUCKING RELIGION!! The only difference is that Scientology is a minority religion, and therefore an easy target.
Didn't Tucker and the real life Slingblade have some type of falling out? I wonder what the real-life Slingblade feels about the movie - not that Tucker would give a shit.
Wow Tucker, thanks for showing us that you've looked up a lot of books that you think will make you seem like you know what you're doing as a producer. Funny how you talk about being so bright despite not being atypically "book smart", yet know all you know about being a film producer from reading books.
From the Miss Vermont story:
I started ignoring Katy more and more, and then I met another girl (incidentally, it was Joanne Romanovich, the girl that eventually became one of the three or four defining relationships of my life, for reasons that will not be explored here, but just to let you know, the beginning of my upcoming novel revolves around her and my relationship with her).
Tucker has no conception of goal management. He sets goals for himself, fails at them, then neglects to own up to his failure, instead opting to set himself up for further failures.
All that is excusable though.
What's inexcusable is that he thinks he's too good to write stories anymore. When was the last time Tucker posted a new story? Tucker wants to be a superstar instead. Way to sell out, Max.
Let me get this straight: a no name director who has never directed a hit movie before; one of the male leads is only known in Hollywood; the TM lead character has to be a complete nobody outside of Hollywood; a script written by two guys who have never written a script before, much less succeeded at anything; a film budget, if every blue-sky scenario occurs is at $6m, and Tucker thinks this is a $25m opening weekend, $90m first month movie?
Hmmmm...aside from him being a complete nobody, lets do some basic math: he has sold a reported 300k copies of his book. Lets say everyone of those purchaser drags 4 friends to the premier weekend of the movie. Each pays full LA type admission prices ($10 each), or $50 x 300k. That equals a $15m opening.....and that type of math only occurs in fairy tales.
IF it gets made, which I think is a huge IF given TM's track record of failure, he is on drugs if he thinks his domestic box office is going to be anywhere near $90m. Look at the list of movies that grossed $90m + in '07: www.boxofficemojo.com/
yearly/chart/?yr=2007&
p=.htm
All of these, with the exception of Juno, was a studio film with very good to excellent distribution, marketable actors/writers/directors/etc. TM has none of these things.
$90m? And he wonders why everyone in Hollywood thinks he is such an ass-clown.
this is completely off topic but thought i'd chime in about scientology and why it's worse than most every religion. religions by their nature deal in a few basic things like morality and hope. and if that is your cup of coffee, then fine. scientology is bad because it charges money for that cup of coffee.
"Let me get this straight: a no name director who has never directed a hit movie before; one of the male leads is only known in Hollywood; the TM lead character has to be a complete nobody outside of Hollywood; a script written by two guys who have never written a script before, much less succeeded at anything; a film budget, if every blue-sky scenario occurs is at $6m, and Tucker thinks this is a $25m opening weekend, $90m first month movie?"
I see where you are going with this, and I'm not asserting you're incorrect, but there have been other films with an unknown actor has starred in a film by an unknown and they went on to make a good picture and a hefty profit. The Blair Witch Project comes to mind, but that had marketing that was years ahead of everybody else in a genre film that teenagers went to.
The big difference being that we've had a sample of Tucker's work and it sucks badly. It's an R rated comedy, so there goes his teen market which makes up most of his audience. The film might do okay in DVD, although the lack of a big name will mean that it will print less DVD's. Tucker will have to figure out a way to pay back the 6 million investment dollars, so it will come out of his big plan.
I'm just wondering what kind of investor will gladly give over their money to Tucker. He's already hiring himself and his writing partner out as "producers" despite never having produced before. I'm sure it's a much more than reasonable fee that they are both getting. The film already looks top heavy and Tucker is getting paid a lot up front. He has no record of success. He's throwing out outlandish numbers that he could never hope to hit. Stuff like actual total booksales can be easily shown to be within the 300K range he's talking about. Even at 300K, he's looking to make a book with a larger budget then his TOTAL SALES OF HIS BOOK HAVE GAINED.
As if it weren't silly enough already, NOw look at what he's doing:

I really want to know why people spam this site. There hasn't been a new post in more than a year, and the comment section is a self-selecting group of people who just want to laugh at Tucker Max. That's it.
This is going to be big, part 2
An assistant at an agency emailed me last week.
This did not happen.
"Good day. I read your script earlier this week. Wow. One of the best I've read in a long time.....You totally had me at [plot point I won't reveal], and then when he started [another plot point I won't reveal], well that was it for me. I'm glad no studio mitts will be all over it. Just keep standing your ground."
If you're going to admittedly edit out portions of the e-mail, why not just summarize them? Probably because the entire e-mail is fake, and the only point of this post is to brag about how great, original and surprising the script is and how unwilling you are to "spoil" the brilliant plot twists.
"I read the Jumper script two years ago. It was awesome. They hired a 'nobody' for the lead, which was perfect. Last minute the studio freaked and demanded Hayden Christensen, then rewrote half of it."
Tucker, you're not the only one who can find the trivia section on IMDB. Stop using it to make it look like you're an insider/have insider connections. You're not and you don't.
I am used to being an internet person...my fans...only know the stuff about me that I publish on my site. Same even with reporters; they only know what I tell them.
I'm surprised he was willing to admit this. But, well, they also know the stuff that we publish here, and they're able to realize things like, hey that THR story will never materialize, I wonder what else he's been lying about. This is why Tucker should have just stuck to his web site. Once he started branching out (that MTV special, the O&A interview, the radio show with Maddox and DRex, the Comedy Central deal) people are going to start calling you out in real time, and you don't have the luxury of deleting their posts or spending hours coming up with a retort.
Here, once you start making a movie, EVERYONE has access to the script. EVERYONE knows what actors you have attached, who you are having fights with...
I kind of dig the movie blog, if only for what it doesn't say.
All that being said, it's always nice when random people you don't know in your industry take the time to email you and tell you how much they like your stuff. This has happened to me a few times already, but I never pay attention when a development executive or producer tells me this--they always want something.
Right. They want you to go away.
I showed this email to someone I know who is very experienced in Hollywood. He told me he'd never heard of an assistant emailing a writer/producer something like this, which I thought was weird--it's not like I am first person who write a good script. Whatever.
Probably because you've been feeling sorry for yourself ever since the script leaked and everyone who read it, laughed at it. So you sent yourself a fake e-mail, and tried to pass it off as legit to someone who's worked in the business before. Sort of like the way you manipulated your salary at that law firm, or generated buzz for your work by creating dummy accounts and posting fake reviews. That guy saying he'd never heard of an assistant reaching out like that was his nice way of saying you were full of shit, and he knew it.
-----------
A while back it was posited that someone close to Tucker was secretly working on a book/script about what really goes on in his world. Tucker has a track record of calling out and humiliating people he thinks are bullshitting him, so really, why shouldn't this friend feel justified in turning the tables?
I really hope this is the case.
As much as Tucker claims to "understand" the new business model the internet has created, he hasn't really taken the time to understand what is probably the best and worst thing about the so-called internet revolution. Anything and everything ever said or done on the internet is part of the public record.
Shit, I don't think someone would even have to know Tucker personally to write an interesting, irrefutable account on his legacy of bullshit posturing. All they'd really need is a lot of time on their hands, and a basic familiarity with Google cache and the internet archive/wayback machine.
Cloud, I'm looking at you. It's time to come out of retirement.
Why Tucker is not an Artist, Part 1.
"When we started this process, I read the screenplays of some famous movies, and even though I'd seen and loved the movies, I couldn't stand the screenplay. It was really weird. Reading and writing screenplays aren't like any other sort of art."
Here
Of course, Tucker's hatred for the format was never brought up until his shit script got leaked.
I think someone here pointed out that the early drafts for popular movies are not terribly good. But that's because they were raw and unpolished; the final versions translated into timeless classics.
Sure, you can turn a great script into a bad movie or vice versa, but it doesn't change the fact that if you're more than a casual fan of movies, enjoy writing and enjoy reading the work of others, even or especially when their skill set far surpasses your own, reading scripts is not a chore.
Yeah, it takes a bit more imagination to get into a script than it does to enjoy a well-written story intended solely for the print medium. But if you're really passionate about something you're creating, than you should be able to appreciate that challenge, and the differences that come with working in a medium you're unacquainted with.
violentacres.com again mentions ryan holiday. do a search on the top of the page to find other good 'ryan holiday bashing'.
Tucker should do a movie about what his life is really like: cyberbullying kids and whores on his forums with other overeducated top-industry professionals.
Tucker: I read your script last month. I almost stopped reading on page 3 when you chugged the glass of wine and told the lackey to "pay it bitch". That scene brought flashbacks of the worst movies I've ever seen (generally made for TV or cable with no budget, designed to fill airtime when viewership is so low the infomercials won't go there).
But, I persisted and was pleasantly surprised to find a handful of jokes (though I understand you've since reorganized the script to eliminate all of Aaron/SlingBlade's funny lines).
I think I permanently dislocated my eyes rolling them at the scene where you threaten the strip bar (the one that's closing down the next day) with a criminal charges unless they comp you for the night. Protip: the bouncers, not the strippers, will be fucking you up if you tried to pull that shit.
Oh, one more thing: The Tucker Max character spends half the movie on the toilet or on the phone (sometimes both). That's not a likable asshole. that's a constipated tool.
You should beg Justin Timberlake to take the part. I know, he doesn't fit with the Tucker Max character, but the Tucker Max character needs to be rewritten anyhow. Get a good script doctor to rewrite it with JT and this has the potential to avoid failure.
Somebody brought it up, and I think it's an important factor as to Tucker's box office receipts.
His film is going to be rated R. More than 2/3rds of his audience (including his target audience) is under the age of 18. Just look at who is on his message boards. Most of them are just kids. Nothing personal about it, but that's who is reading Tucker Max, and they won't be able to legally go see his film. There's a very real chance that it goes NC-17 if the hotel/shit scene makes it to the final cut. Human feces being shown or expelled usually means an NC-17 rating. If that happens and it goes NC-17, then there goes any chance of this film making a million dollars in the box office.
Also funny to note that Tucker has been saying he's sold 300K worth of books since late 2006. Since he's a "best selling author", wouldn't that mean that he sold at least another 100K worth of books in the last 18 months? Or was the 300K units sold a guess he made, much like his film is going to open to 25 million.
Whomever invests in this film doesn't deserve wealth.

Tucker:
"I am a professional writer. In fact, by any measure (other than critics liking me), I am one of the elite writers in America today."
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, gotta catch my breath....
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh god, this is like a meth addict bragging about how pretty their teeth are.
He makes absolutely no sense. Basically he's saying "You haven't gotten belligerent and banged enough skanks to be a writer yet. You need at least in the triple digits." There are plenty of writers who have boring lives, and who didn't live their lives to its fullest, or loved life. He acts as if he's some kind of Rosetta Stone of movie making.
Tucker’s moods increasingly ricochet between hubris and neediness. The way he feeds off the compliments of those within the Hollywood system is pathetic. His giddy response to the alleged email from an agency assistant reminded me of that episode of The Simpsons where Lisa sends Ralph a valentines card.
Tucker's entire post about an "assistant" in Hollywood kissing his ass sounds like total bullshit. Here's why. Nobody is going to give the name and where they work, because they don't know if Tucker would be offended or not.
Here's a scenerio: Guy is an assistant at an agency or production company who reads script (which is supposed to be double super secret). Guy gets huge boner, decides to contact author, but instead of doing it incognito, he blabs about who he is and where he works to Tucker. Tucker in turn could be pissed that somebody's assistant contacted him and then show that person evidence.
It's total bullshit. If it's at a major agency or studio, they aren't going to risk their career to score a few points with somebody's crappy "indy" film. Assistant's are like the Adam Brody character in Thank You For Smoking, that's not a stereotype he played, it's a standard. So Tucker is telling us that one of these sharks in training is going to risk their career and badmouth the hand that feeds them because Tucker's film is so awesome?
Holy shit, this has become Tucker Max Delusional. No wonder he's turning into the laughing stock of Hollywood. No wonder nobody worth their weight even wants to read for him. He's got nothing left but the lies he has to keep feeding his crowd of sycophants in order for them to hang around for a few more months before it all becomes apparent that they've made a really bad mistake with their lives.
tucker calling himself an elite writer is fucking laughable. he sold a decent quantity of books, but plenty of people do that. the chick who writes the gossip girls series could probably wipe her ass with an 8.5x11 sheet of paper and make it into a book that would outsell i hope they serve beer in hell 10x over. the critics would loathe him if any even bothered to acknowledge his existence. what's left? oh right, the made-up reviews on amazon and a bunch of 14 year-old virgin fanboys who'll lose interest the first time they feel a chick up.
i honestly don't see how tucker can read his own horseshit and think "yeah, this is good stuff", much less deem it to be so brilliant so as to make him an "elite" (whatever the fuck that even means) writer. that level of delusion is pretty impressive.
"that level of delusion is pretty impressive."
It's Tucker Max delusional.
ANd I get that you are averse to telling kids to take the hard road, because most of them aren't suited for the road that you and I took.
This from the dude whose daddy gave him a cake job at his swanky restaurant.
Why doesn't Tucker play himself?
Is it possible that there is a greater douchebag somewhere out there?
The way he moves: his feminine mannerisms and mystique, his lawyerly hand movements as if he is addressing the jury while defending douchebags and their capital crimes of douchebaggery, his eloquence on puke and condoms and his high voice: can it be improved upon by a mere thespian?
Watch his tiny, magnificent hand movements:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=303UJ3VePo0
Tucker, as a modern creation of the U of C, Duke, and Corporate America (viacom), has profited vastly off of the criticism and belittling of other's appearances. Typical soulless, hypocritical academic and corporate douchebaggery.
^Dude, you give academia and the corporate world too much credit. Tucker's douchebaggery is of his own design.
first off, enough with this lame viacom crap. it's a piss-poor attempt at trolling.
second, who the fuck is tucker to talk about taking the hard road in life? the guy's just a spoilt rich kid whose greatest hardship was getting fired by his dad for being a jagoff. i mean seriously, what the fuck? his parents divorced? he grew up in kentucky? he was on the bones of his ass when his crappy website hadn't reached the virginal masses yet? give me a break.
tucker's had about as banal and uninteresting a life as the next moron who thinks he's hunter s. thompson. part of the reason he's such a shit writer (aside from his near-total lack of talent) is how mundane and safe his life has been: a lot of school, a lot of failure in the white-collar world, and then he started his website. a million other infantilized yuppie scumbags could tell the same tale (minus the debasing, ridiculous story write-ups), and yet tucker thinks this somehow makes him special? please.
Tucker Max is to films what Isiah Thomas is to general management of an NBA franchise.
Max is a professional writer in the same way that the Backstreet Boys were professional musicians. Both sold a lot of product; both filled a 'niche'; both were 'hot commodities' in the media eye (though the Backstreet thing was on a substantially larger level); neither have actually contributed anything to the craft they claim.
For Tucker, though, numbers and dollars and haters tell the story, because it's all about getting attention - any kind of attention - for him. He won't be remembered as a 'great' writer, only as a 'shock' writer who made a nice living and got some attention along the way. Sadly, for him, that will be enough to solidify the legacy in his mind's eye, and he'll go down in history as just another self-serving narcissist. The world's always been full of them; if one thinks about it, one realizes that Tucker's right where he belongs.
Go get 'em, Tucker!
Nothing wrong with Tucker Max that a quick castration wouldn't fix.
I come here evrey so often to read about tuckers failings.
I couple pages back I said that in all the picture pages on his board you see pictures of people who are doing things. Go look at the "That's a samsung moment" thread.
You'll see pictures of new houses, cars, motorcycle, fishing trips. Pictures from far away lands other posters have visited. You can see photo's of Prague, Italy, Russia. There's lots of vactation pics.
What picture has tucker posted most recently? Pictures of a bed some 20 year old co-ed pissed on after drinking too much. He also posted the same bed sitting on the curb in his low rent hispanic "Hood"
How about "The bunny" The last picture she contributed was of a LOG she dumped in the toilet. VIVA The revolution!!
"Nothing wrong with Tucker Max that a quick castration wouldn't fix."
Yeah, but in order to castrate someone, they first have to possess testicles, and judging from Tucker's lisping, faggoty mannerisms, I'd say he's already been divested of his cojones.
Check out the true believer arguing with me in the Youtube comments for this video:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=303UJ3VePo0
Yeah, 18 years old and naive, right in Tucker's target demographic. By the time I'm done, every undergrad at Duke who has heard of Tucker will think of him as the lying laughingstock that he is.
How about "The bunny" The last picture she contributed was of a LOG she dumped in the toilet
Did she get a pic of Ryan Holiday eating it? Honestly, I don't blame the guy for resorting to eating shit - he can't be making enough bank to even afford food.
"I am one of the elite writers of America today" ????????????????? i, too, wanted to laugh at this. this is why he loses fans, he's worse than delusional. shit, if d-rex had better things to talk about, he would be a better writer than tucker. the fact that nobody called him out on it shows how unobjective the board is.

Tucker has become a bit reclusive. Part of it is the aftermath of having been humiliated on Opie & Anthony. Part of it is due to his popularity fading, as the invitations to speak at campuses have declined. Hollywood is his last chance, which is why his blog "voice" has become desperate.
Here's a scene for Tucker's next movie:
Tucker, now at 45 fat and balding, sits in front of 2 HOT Co-eds from USC. He finishes telling them the "Butt Sex" story. He waits for them to laugh, they just glance at each other.
"We're you Tucker Max?", one of them asks.
"I heard that story when I was 10, only I heard it was a fake because the guy never had the videotape.", the other blurts out.
Bill Dawes is funny:
"Shit, if I were another planet, I think I'd like to fuck the Earth."
Oh wait, no he's not.
The THR Story - April 16th, 2008
It'll be up on their site in a few hours. I have to post this, got in an email from the reporter doing the story. It made me laugh, because I thought we werent doing enough. Just goes to show, Hollywood effort and real effort aren't the same thing:
Quote:
BTW I have rarely seen a team push a story SO hard as this one – only reason for delays were because of other deadlines. Thanks for all your help.
I'll post the link as soon as its up, and then I have a big piece about the director and the rest of the creative team I'll put right after that. The whole curtain gets pulled back today.
hopefully THR is just fucking with him, but probably not since they're putting it up so late at night, so yeah...he's getting front page placement, but they'll take it off come sunrise.
NEW YORK -- Tucker Max will adapt his bawdy best-seller "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" into a big-screen comedy with director Bob Gosse. [WHO???]
"Hell," now No. 12 on the New York Times best-seller list after a three-year run, chronicles Max's alcohol-fueled true adventures. The film will follow his trip to a friend's bachelor party, where he ensnares the groom in a lie that threatens the wedding, then abandons him to pursue further carnal knowledge. After being banned from the nuptials, Max attempts to get back into his friend's good graces. [That's not a good sign when your script's plot is so stupid you have to lie about it]
Pinkslip Pictures' Max Wong ("Bring It On") and Karen Firestone will produce with the Collective's Aaron Ray ("Big Momma's House"), Max and co-screenwriter Nils Parker. Gosse previously helmed "Niagara Niagara."
Max rose to fame after launching TuckerMax.com in 2002, garnering millions of unique site visitors to read his short stories and a $300,000 advance for his Penguin Books memoir. [which they've since realized was a waste of money]
But Max's road to the screen has been a long one. In 2003, he sold a TV pilot based on his site and book to Fox and then NBC, but rights quickly reverted back to him after a regime change. Three years later he sold the show to Sony, and Comedy Central bought the pilot, but the deal was canceled after a dispute with Sony about feature film rights. [Also, the script sucked]
The privately financed feature begins shooting June 2 in Louisiana. Collective Films reps the worldwide rights to the film.
Bob Gosse...
Hey, he won an award! at the Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival... ok, moving along....
Hey, he's also an actor! He played a gay director in a movie no one ever saw. hmm..
25 million opening weekend? I'd be surprised if all his previous work had $250,000 in revenue.
He got the guys from Bring it On and Big Momma's House to produce. This film is sure to be gold quality now.
Hey you 10:27 Tucker already corrected the THR article. He said it's laughable that they used Big moomas house as a credit to Arron Ray. Tucker says "The guys a major player" Plus from looking at his credits he also produced "The black knight".
In fact his most recemt credit is a film called "Are we there Yet". The film critic who gave it the highest garde of all the rviews on Tahoo movies (a "C") had this to say.
"What's more, the movie lurches between such frantic sight gags and tear-jerking sentimentality with all the finesse of a drunk on water skis. Homeowners will heave a sigh of weary compassion for Nick's domestic troubles, but for most viewers over the age of seven, Are We Done Yet? will be a house of pain."
Sounds like a "Major player" to me. The finesse of a drunk on water shis. I love it.
I like how, in the blog entry where Tucker talks about why they went with Bob Gosse (who wouldn't? The man's a living legend), he gives pseudonyms to the other two directors, 'Sarah' and 'Oscar.' Then, halfway down, 'Sarah' suddenly becomes 'Susan,' then switches back to 'Sarah.' This, along with the glut of typos and masterful articulations like "...oversaw by more people", is why Tucker is a professional writer.
Max "straight to video" Wong?
Bob "hasn't directed in 11 years" Gosse?
$25m opening weekend guaranteed...comedic gold.
It usually helps when you are putting a film together to have some people attached that have at least some affiliation to a film that was successful, or in Gosse's case, a project that anyone has heard of.
$6m film my ass. This screams low budget.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Jack Hawksmoor's post about Bob Gosse 2 years ago:
http://messageboard.tuckermax.com/showthread.php?p=293572#post293572
I wonder if Tucker just started sucking up his message board for names of directors after everybody on his list passed him over and found this post with Bob's name and pursued it?
Violent Acres is right, Tucker is like a creative black hole.
11:44 PM:
Not just a professional writer, but "one of the elite writers in America today."
I must admit, I am shocked that the Hollywood Reporter actually ran this article. But, in true Tucker fashion, this certainly isn't some huge front-page article that really delves into the project. Instead, its just a basic press release announcing that this project does in fact, exist. While I must admittedly eat crow since THR actually had this article, I do take solace in the fact that this article was almost exactly like the one Variety ran when Tucker signed his deal with Comedy Central.
How did that one turn out again?
I too am surprised THR ran the article. I guess Ryan found out who's dick you need to suck. Of course, half the information in it is wrong. And you waited 2 months for that? Bob Gosse? I know you're an "internet celebrity" and therefore everyone else is A-list in comparison, but step up to reality.
PS - you're not an elite writer. You're an elite blogger
P.P.S. You're not an elite blogger; you're a crappy one.
"I do take solace in the fact that this article was almost exactly like the one Variety ran when Tucker signed his deal with Comedy Central.
How did that one turn out again?"
Well, it turned as epic fail for Tucker.
His ego got in the way.
If that egotistical fuck can learn some humility, maybe he won't royally screw everything up this time.
But what are the odds of that happening?
Oh, and you know that you've attached a bunch of fucking nobodies to your vanity project when the Wikipedia passage about your film, seen here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Hope_They_Serve_Beer_In_Hell
"In 2008, Max announced that he was independently financing a movie with the same title, loosely based on The Austin Road Trip story from the book.[13] The Hollywood Reporter has since confirmed this announcement. Max has attached director Bob Gosse to the film, as well as producers Max Wong("Bring It On") and Karen Firestone from Pinkslip Pictures and Collective's Aaron Ray (Big Momma's House). Tucker Max and co-screenwriter Nils Parker will also be producing."
Anyway, when you have four names, and only the director has a Wikipedia page linked to his name, you know that you've attracted a bunch of marginally talented, fringe-dwelling hangers-on. Even "Pinkslip Pictures" doesn't have a page.
For fuck's sake, anyone who has done anything significant in Hollywood has a Wikipedia entry, and the fact that "Pinkslip Pictures" doesn't have one tells me that they've done nothing but shite.
If this movie ever does get made, it will hit the IMDB bottom 100 so fast it'll make your head spin.
i find it hard to believe he has gotten any investors to back this. if you were going to loan this character (and tucker is a real character) money, wouldn't you look into his stuff and read his message board. then when you saw him say "i'm one of the elite writers today" and "this movie will make 25mil opening weekend" i think you would promptly tell him no deal. he can't even treat posters on his own message board with respect. i can't wait to see this FAIL.
Meet Bob Gosse:
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/bob_gosse/
So far he has only overall received "rotten" ratings, and he is trending downards, like Tucker's alexa rakings.
"Nowhere Man" would be an apt title for his current project. Is that Tucker crying on the box?
Looks like were not the only ones convinced this thing will be a failure:
http://filmdrunk.com/post.phtml?pk=1557
Lol, this comment from that blog is hilarious:
"I want to challenge Tucker Max to a drinking contest, then fuck him when he's passed out. I'll kill him, then become him.
That's a way better plot line."
Yes. Yes it is.
I bet if Tucker's movie gets made, it will win several Razzies.
Max will co-write with Nils Parker; Bob Gosse will direct. If you haven't heard of those people, don't worry, I'm not entirely convinced they exist.
lolol
Ryan Holiday on the article's placement:
By the way, this was top left, inside cover - arguably the best placement a story can get in THR. I was told that although front page is great, in terms of actually being read by people getting a block on the inside of the first spread is better.
The guy who placed the story who is in the trades all the time was telling me that he shocked at how many calls this thing got today.
Yes, because everyone always turns right to page A2 when reading the paper. That's just how they roll in Hollywood.
That aside, I gotta say I'm surprised the article was published at all. Not really sure why it took almost two months to come to fruition, or why Tucker couldn't have released some of those details earlier, but oh well.
How fucking stupid is Ryan Holiday? Does he actually think that people BELIEVE for one second that some reporter told him that? If this guy is the best employee Rudius can get then they really are destined for Chapter 11.
You guys are getting to Tucker:

Hello Rudius douchebags--you read this site more than your own. The true film is here, but guess what, you don't got the rights to it.
It's funny when they say this board is just jealous of success. Ha!
No. Tucker is a douchebag and he represents crorpoate douchebaggery.
Pointing out supreme douchebaggery does not mean one is jealous of success.
Tucker's copious critics don't criticize the millions of successful artists and entertainers.
We love success here. Steve Jobs. Eminem. Andy Roddick. Shaq. Jordan.
See, no matter how much douchebaggery tucker and his corporate parents sell, it won't buy him a soul, nor integrity, nor talent. Without a soul, his film will suck.
Keep up the good work here.
His film, like his books, life, and douchebaggery may entertain, in mostly in an unintentional way.
Tucker wishes he had the right to the truths here, but he is consigned to soulless douchebaggery.
$6,000,000 down the drain.
And you can tell he knows it.
And fears it.

So which one of you Rudius zeroes is posting as the viacom/corporate dude? My money's on Tucker being behind it.
I looked up the definition of success in the dictionary, and it did not include having to live with Ryan Holiday just to make rent.
tucker has already lost his mind, we know that...but here's another gem he posted today:
OC/DC. What is that? It's an original script Nils and I have just finished. I am not going to talk about it, other than to say one thing:
I think its going to be the highest grossing comedy of all time.
I'm not kidding. There is no question in my mind that IHTSBIH is going to do great and launch Nils and I and my company. But everyone will think its just luck, that we'll just do the sequels and that'll be it, that we're one hit wonders. OC/DC is going to be our first movie that has nothing at all to do with anything on this site or Tucker Max related, and it is going to blow people away.
I'm not going to talk anymore about it, and don't ask. Just remember this post when it drops in 2 or 3 years and sets new records.
According to Tucker, it was Aaron Ray who was responsible for the story appearing in THR. Apparently he knows one of the writers.
The reason the trades are reporting on the film now, rather than a month ago, isn’t because people in the industry have read the script and are ready to admit that it’s a work of genius that will make millions – it’s because there are names attached to the project who have better media contacts than Tucker’s Stepford wife, Ryan Holiday.

Tucker keeps saying he's turned down studio financing... what he's really turned down is the studios requiring a shootable script.
Why is he so against money?
4/18/2008 8:50 AM
Thanks for posting that. Because in three years, when Rudius has gone belly-up and Tucker can't afford to keep his message board running, we'll all remember that OC/DC is the greatest comedy that never was.
Any guesses on what it's about? I'm thinking it's a Spinal Tap knock-off.
if oc/dc is going to be as good as he says...then it better be about him and his failures.
can anyone name anyone whose douchebaggery is more detested by people on the internet?
tucker has to be the most famous internet douchebag.
no other douchebag has so many critics.

"now it seems Max can rightly come to Hollywood and claim his throne as King of the Douche Bags."
OC/DC is, I'm guessing, a script about OCD/autism/asperger's. Remember the thread awhile back where Drex asked people for their experiences with it?
for someone who is working on a movie, tucker sure has a lot of time to post on his message board.
Yeah a comedy about autism would be a fucking riot.
"OC/DC. What is that? It's an original script Nils and I have just finished."
Oh no. More fart jokes, nudity and bullying? Yawn.
It's probably about a guy in Washington DC ("DRex") who moves to Hollywood to help his friend ("Tucker") make a movie. And have sex with a midget.
You'll laugh until you cry when Tucker goes to a sushi bar, gets drunk, and, uh,
What happens next? All the stories are pretty much the same.
Tucker Max, I would like to see fail for the comedic value. But Drex... well, I would approve if he died.
the highest grossing comedy of all time? aren't there several that made well over 100 million? according to imdb, my big fat greek wedding made about 240.
i would make a joke, but that kind of statement really speaks for itself. it's amusing how tucker has completely lost touch with his demographic (not that he ever really had his finger on the pulse to begin with). as if meathead frat boys and cholos who work at jiffy lube are going to relate to unfunny pseudo-intellectual crap about a bunch of rich kid lawyer-wannabes whose coup de grace is threatening legal action against a strip club. because most 18-35 year old males hate strip clubs and love lawyers.
maybe tucker's next film should be about an evil, scrooge-type factory owner who abuses all his employees and rapes young children? the climax could be him refusing to give a $0.10 an hour pay increase. you know, something the audience could really get behind.
Has anybody noticed on Tucker's "Ask a producer" thread that he never actually answers any questions? He does one of a few things:
1) Calls the poster an idiot who hasn't sifted through every single word he's ever writen to find the answer to their question.
2) Tells everybody to "wait for a future post".
3) Gives a vague answer that doesn't really answer the question at all.
4. Ignores JoJo when he calls out his shit
5. bans and deletes anyone else who calls out his shit.
I remember when I made a movie and it had a GREAT director a GREAT plot and it was NOT low budget and NOT straight to video.
Oh wait a minute, I never even tried to make a movie...
God I hate Tucker Max.
Lol, this is gonna be Tucker in a few years:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abrw5hYECb8
You know it's odd that Tucker would have watched the Troy Duffy film "Overnight" 10 times. He's committing every single error that Duffy did years ahead of him.
Here are the parallels:
Both publicly badmouthed "The Studios" in Hollywood. Both will pay the price by never ever working for one of "the studios" again.
Tucker blew a great deal with one of the studios on a TV project. Troy blew a great deal with one of the studios on a film project
Both of them got let go by their agencies and management companies.
They hire only people in his crew to be part of his inner circle. Those who don't tow company line are tossed to the side, excommunicated from the cabal. This leads to myopic decision making that proves to be disasterous. Also, both completely overrates the ability of his subordinates and pretends they are talented when they are not. Reminds them constantly that they are only around because of him (Tucker and Troy)
Both of their "awesome scripts" couldn't attract major talent due to the ego of the leads. Both of them publicly badmouth talent, thereby making sure they can't cast anybody who are friendly with the talent.
Both are considered a joke in Hollywood. Troy is Tucker 10 years earlier (and with a better project btw). Both Tucker's site and Troy's Youtube messages are the stuff the studio execs email each other as a laugh. I've been emailed the "Check this asshole out" with a thread linking to Tucker's claim of a "25 million dollar opening weekend" three times. People are watching, they just aren't watching and walking away impressed.
Both overrate their abilities to the point of showing themselves to be laughable mediocre talents with big mouths.
Both of them are horrible alcoholics.
Both of them were/will be bald before they turn 35.
Troy Duffy = Tucker Max
"But the point is this: No one has come in there and really owned the role. No one has made ME believe it when he says, "My name is Tucker Max." And if I don't believe it, why would any of my fans? Or a random person?"
DUMBASS.
"Both of them are horrible alcoholics."
Hey, easy now, 1:23 P.M., some of we alcoholics are productive, important members of society.
Tucker is not one of them, obviously.
Take me for example. I'm 26, and first heard about Tucker from one of my idiot friends when I was an undergrad, years ago.
I read his stories. Though mildly amusing, I was not terribly impressed. Anyone who drinks to excess has similar tales of debauchery. I certainly do. I'd imagine many readers of this blog do as well.
There is one essential difference between myself, you readers, and Tucker Max. When I wake up in a puddle of my own urine, or in a complete stranger's car with my shoes off (which happened last Friday night) I'm not amped about it, I'm fucking mortified. I'd imagine that most people would be. I certainly wouldn't want to try to parlay such juvenile antics into a career.
Anyway, back to the point. Yes, 1:23, Tucker is so like Troy Duffy that it isn't funny. Self-centered pricks with a sense of entitlement who are convinced that they goddamned well know how to do anything and everything better than anybody anywhere, ever. Oh, and both Max and Duffy are convinced of their superiority despite a total lack of experience at doing anything significant.
Tucker, I know you read this blog, you fucking loser, so I'll just give you a spot of free advice:
In the future, don't burn bridges before you cross them.
In conclusion, I'll say this. Tucker Max could have made something of himself, provided that he's not bullshitting about having matriculated at Duke Law School. Speaking of which, does anyone know if that loser ever passed the bar in any state? Methinks he didn't, or he'd be making some real scratch in that line of work instead of clinging to his dwindling "media empire" like a fucking life preserver.
I'll have a Doctorate in history within a year's time, and though I have no plans to curtail my drinking, I'll be infinitely more accomplished than Tucker. People don't treat me as a drunken loser, because I don't cultivate that image. They treat me as a consummate professional, because I know how to conduct my business, and present myself to others. Most importantly, however, is that I actually know what the fuck I'm talking about, whereas Tucker, to my knowledge, wouldn't know his ass from his elbow.
Oh, I'll tell you, I don't know what's more entertaining... Hillary Clinton's slow descent into becoming an object of derision, or Tucker Max's epic fail of a life.
I'm loving the fact that Tucker is pissy with his fans who ask him simple questions.
If I were Bob Gosse, I'd run. Tucker is setting him up for the eventual failure. Gosse isn't big enough to really matter, so when the film flops, Tucker will say it was the director who didn't get what Tucker wanted.
BTW, Tucker can't get any A-listers to even look at his script for a reason. He's been blackballed by his agency and word has gotten out to other agencys.
Oh, it also sucks.
Intresting that yesterday tucker wrote.
"When this whole thing started, I thought for sure the hardest part to cast would be the SlingBlade role. I said this to Joseph, and he immediately disagreed:
"No, that won't take too long. There are a LOT of actors in Hollywood who are like that character. It's Tucker that's going to be hard. That's going to take someone with star power."
------------------------------------
Now there's lots of actors in Holloywood who are like the Slingblade charecter? I don't get it. I don't feel like sifting through all the crap on his site but, I'm posotive about a month ago Tucker was bragging that some Hollywood person said something like.
"There has never been a charecter like Slingblade in the history of film"
So which is it? There's lots or none? I thought the comment about there never being a Slingblade charecter dumb in the first place because after all how did slingblade get his nick name if not for the original charecter "Sling blade"?
Look at Fucker's latest story on BeerInHell.com. He admits that he is a douchebag.
Finally, some truth out of his mouth.
He should have spelled it "doucebag."
One thing I'm curious about - why is there still no IMDB page about the flick? The much-delayed HR article finally came out (it wasn't front page, but, as Ryan Holiday pointed out, the inside flap is considered much better positioning) and he's announced the names of most of the "talent" attached to the project, so why's there no IMDB?
And why's there no buzz outside of a few small mentions on industry gossip sites that publish dozens of posts a day?
The answer? Because IHTSBIH is nothing more than a direct-to-DVD flop.
Hate to rain on your parade, but:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220628/
The upside is, I guess we can start posting links to this and other sites on the "official" message board over there.
Even Tucker's nemesis Cloud Starchaser has an IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2270160/
Well, the I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell blog quickly turned into just another place for Tucker to fellate himself. Oh wait. drunkasaurusrex posts there too, so I guess it's also a place for a self-doubting closeted homosexual to fret about a movie he's "producing".
"By my best guess--and it is a shot in the dark based on various sources I have--is that of the potential fans I have out there, only about 20-30% have heard of me. If I am right, then that means I have 80-70% of my potential market still untapped."
Tucker grossly overestimates the amount of people who would find his brand of unsophisticated scatalogical humor funny. I'd make some crack about how his fan base consists mostly of teenagers, but that would be unfair to the teenagers of America, many of whom are mature, intelligent human beings.

Also, his base audience of teenagers won't be able to legally get in to see the R rated IHTSBIH
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220628/board
The IMDB board for IHTSBIH.
First thoughts, Brett Meisner (aka Rock and Roll whatever) who claimed he stole TM's laptop during the strike, is on IMDB praising Tucker's new script (which was from December or January, and not V12).
Either this is a lie or TM is going to try and fill this board with fan boys to make his movie seem like something it's not. He's done it before. He won't have any pull with what anybody writes about the movie. So bad reviews of the script or whatever will stay up.
So please leave your own comments on his IMDB board, and perhaps links back to this blog. If anything, somebody should leave a link to his script up in there.
Is Brett Meisner a real person? I'd say it was just Tucker posting under a fake name, but there's too much inconsistency (i.e. Tucker would never want people to think some fat blogger stole his laptop and got away with it) and the IMDB username was registered in 2002.
Every post there, so far, has an odd air of fradulence, but it's different than all the fake reviews on Amazon of his book.
My best guess is that Tucker read Brett's fake story, thought the guy had enough e-pull to damage his e-reputation that he had to do something about it, and took him out for drinks and let him bang the Bunny. Since it was probably Brett's first time with a woman, he felt indebtted to Tucker, so he's going around praising the script.
The other posters on the board are probably just Tucker fanboys.
Call me crazy -- I'm predicting 100 million plus on IHTSBIH...
Holy shit that Brett clown just said on the IMDB board that the movie will gross $100m.
I guess The Bunny let him get her up the ass, too.
He could be writing in a facetious manner.
Additionally, Baby Mama did 18 mil opening weekend. I'm not saying it's an instant classic, but it's got names that are way more important and, generally, funnier. That's still 6 less than what Tucker is predicting for a ROAD TRIP MOVIE.
Tucker Max and his expectations is a representation of his reality and those people that he surrounds himself with. This blog and this comments section is just as warped and detached as they are. Reality is probably somewhere in between. Then again who gives a fuck, some of ya'll have been here for like two years.
If The Bunny is broke, she should just throw in the towel and be an escort. I bet the legions of tucker fanbois would pay to bang her. Heck I'd throw her a $100 bill if she did ass-to-mouth.
the second poster above is retarded. the script for ihtsbih is awful, and if you think it's even going to get picked up for distribution, let alone make a decent amount on its opening weekend, you're being moronic. that's just being objective, and if you don't believe me, ask any of the dozens of people in hollywood who've made their fortune picking hits who've laughed tucker out of the office.
I think "the second poster above" has a point. Groupthink and group polarization make the posters here's assessments of Tucker pretty inaccurate. Laughed out of dozens of hollywood execs' offices? Really? They laughed him out of the office? Dozens of them? OK, buddy.
Don't get me wrong, I have my doubts about Tucker. He is probably a contemptible excuse for a human being, I have some serious reservations that that narcissistic fucktard will make his movie and I highly doubt it's as funny as he thinks it is, but the way people talk here is just silly. But such is life.
"Good day. I read your script earlier this week. Wow. One of the best I've read in a long time.....You totally had me at [plot point I won't reveal], and then when he started [another plot point I won't reveal], well that was it for me. I'm glad no studio mitts will be all over it. Just keep standing your ground."
Translation:
"Good day. I read your script earlier this week. Wow. One of the best I've read in a long time.....You totally had me at [the point at which you sucked off 3 guys in a row], and then when he started [fingering your own asshole while letting a tranny suck you off] well that was it for me. I'm glad no studio mitts will be all over it. Just keep standing your ground."
Yeah, that's pretty close to the truth.
"I guess The Bunny let him get her up the ass, too."
I'd fuck her in the ass, but only if I could give her a mushroom stamp on her forehead with her shit on my cock.
That bitch is broken in the brain.
I wonder what ja rule thinks about the up and coming Tucker Max movie??
4/29/2008 9:46 AM, you're not up on current events dumbshit. tucker's been blackballed by his agency, fired by comedy central, turned down by jamie kennedy and a few other c-listers and, most importantly, his dopey blog is the laughingstock of hollywood.
the script is awful. it'd be one thing if it at least might appeal to his target demographic (meathead 22 year olds), but it's all geeky humor designed for loser college/law school students. hilarity ensues? who the fuck even talks like that? long story short, i hope they serve beer in hell is gonna blow giant horse cock, and tucker's gonna go down as a cautionary tale for all self-absorbed blowhard wanna-be celebrities.
You're right dude. Even in his stories the humor is a little too nerdy. Obscure cultural references aren't that witty. And making fun of peoples' clothes is fucking womanly.
Half of the cultural references in the script are 10 years out of date. The other half look like desperate attempts to get some product placement cash.
Awesome: Tucker's 2002 douchebaggery is on its way out: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/tuckermax.com
There's a deeper reason why his movie will suck, which Tucker will realize about ten years from now.
"This means I can't be the selfish, self-contained, me-against-the-world, fuck-you-if-you-can't-take-a-joke Tucker I have always been. That attitude was great and necessary when it literally was just me, when no one believed in me and no one thought I would succeed and I had to find the strength to keep going in the face of impossible odds."
Lol, because ruining wine tastings and making trouble at hockey games is "success in the face of impossible odds." Dumbshit.
In order to recreate aspects of tucker's life, whoever is cast as tucker will have to study this blog.
So hello there actor who is playing tucker.
We're here to help.
How does one bring douchebaggery to life?
Which aspects of this blog/tucker's reality would be the most fun to watch in the upcoming film?
I like the ones with:
Tucker & the comedy central deal.
Tucker's MTV appearance which nobody has ever really seen.
Tucker & the hoo-hah controversey.
Tucker's day-to-day living with bunny & ryan in low-rent la.
Tucker's ever-declining traffic, even with a fanboy hollywood reporter article:
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/tuckermax.com
Tucker had his moment, which conicided with the sub-prime scandals.
Might there be a deeper connection?
Now that would be a film I would pay to see.

Shakespeare is Hollywood's most produced screenwirter.
And the words the actors speak match the words on the page.
If it weren't for the fart jokes and demeaning douchebaggery, Tucker would not exist.
He has yet to fight on a level playing field. Duke U. deconstruced Shakespeare to exalt douchebaggery. they did away with moses and jesus and natural law and gave tucker a law degree.
and still, as people keep pointing out, inspite of all the corporate and professorial help from the NY Times & HR et al, his traffic is going down.

I'm calling it now, all this stuff about how difficult it is to cast an actor as Tucker is just pretense so that Tucker will play himself in the end.
"I'm calling it now, all this stuff about how difficult it is to cast an actor as Tucker is just pretense so that Tucker will play himself in the end."
I concur, although it could be a precursor to failure as well. I can't see anybody investing in this film if Tucker Max is supposedly going to star/write/produce in a vanity project based on his work. In fact, it would be the ultimate vanity project, far ahead of anything Woody Allen has ever done.
Here's what I believe. They are having trouble funding the film, so by saying "we can't find the right Tucker" is just a precursor of him pulling the plug on the project using the reasoning that they couldn't cast it to his investors wants.
Whatever Tucker says about "owning the film" is bullshit. Unless he put his own 6 million into the film, he doesn't own shit. His idea is to leverage his name to raise some of the money (less than a 1/2 million is all he can get imo), then to raise the rest through pre-selling markets and having a great well-known cast to secure the rest. If he can't get a well-known actor for the role, then he can't get the rest of the money. No theater chain or owner is going to want to put his film on their limited screens if people don't know who "Tucker Max" is. So him starring in his own film is the death of his funding.
He still can do this film for under a half a million (comfortably). Of course he'd have to do the film festival circuit, because there's no way it will have a distributor.
He needs to find an actor, and fast. He's got less than 8 weeks left, and he hasn't found anybody yet to feature as the face of the film. The quality of actor is going downhill. Nothing against Bill Dawes, but he's not exactly a name you can headline a film with, nobody knows him outside of a few films nobody really saw. Tucker painted himself into a corner well before he started the film when he was let go by his agency. That meant nobody from that agency would even be able to read his script, let alone try out for the part. This got around Hollywood fast, and he's basically stuck. He lied about saying "I can't have a name as Tucker Max because it's like the new James Bond and we need a fresh face in the role." While that statement alone makes him sound like a douchebag, it's just another lie to cover his ass.
Facts are, the people he thought he could get for the role all passed, now he's stuck. Any potential investor has to see this, and would have to back out if Tucker is going to star in a movie about his own book (that he's producing). He's not Woody Allen, he's not even a name.
8 Weeks.
I think tucker is getting his $6,000,000 from absinthe blogads or busted-ts blogads.
I doubt that they can find an actor capable of bringing tucker's supreme douchebaggery to life...
That's funny how tucker thinks he's going to get his film into theaters. I guess that means movies like iron man will have to be shown on fewer screens next summer, so we can watch fart jokes/self-crapping jokes and cameos from tim ferriss, whoever that is.
yeah right. tucker is soooo 2002.
what comes next?
i don't know.
but douchebaggery is on its way out, as some earlier commentor said.

``Wall Street is going to go where the money is and not worry about consequences,'' Buffett said during a news conference yesterday, a day after his Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s annual meeting. ``You've got a lot of leeway in running a bank to not tell the truth for quite a while.''
Buffett and investing partner Charlie Munger also lambasted credit raters, bond insurers and policymakers for two days as a record 31,000 attended the annual affair in Omaha, Nebraska. In between scoldings, Buffett told investors more damage lay ahead and dropped hints about where Berkshire is looking for purchases abroad as the dollar falls.
``There's going to be more pain,'' said Buffett, who repeated that the U.S. is in a recession. Even after the Federal Reserve arranged JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s $2.4 billion rescue of Bear Stearns in March, ``that doesn't mean the losses are over by a long shot.''
I hope the movie addresses this!!
