24 2002. tom
was in ottawa this weekend for his mom's yard sale. i went to check it
out and saw that derek and ray were there filming the event. tom arrived
stylishly late and screamed at his mother for "selling his memories"
then he grabbed some plates that were for sale and smashed them all over
the kitchen floor in a tantrum-fit. then he chased a woman who had bought
a pickle dish and tried very hard to buy back his pickle dish memories.
she eventually sold it back to tom for twenty bucks (a nineteen dollar
profit). then he posed for pictures with a neighbor and his young daughter.
derek was running around getting signatures on a release form so i guess
this might be a segment on one of the upcoming mtv specials. so anyway
after he posed with the neighbors he and derek signed my freddie poster
and it was all over. mrs green shooed everyone out of the house and closed
the door. i asked
derek about what they planned on taping (minutes before tom arrived squaking
his tires, 2 of them up on the curb) and he just said "...a documentary
about plates" so i knew i wouldn't get a straight answer from him
and just decided to wait and see. ray filmed while derek did the audio
i think (he had a shoulder bag with wires and shit all over him) the release
form wasn't anything close to official. i watched derek draft the thing
(in ballpoint pen) in mrs green's living room while tom smashed plates
and jumped up and down on an old futon while yelling, so i don't know
if its mtv footage or not...what else would it be for? he still has to
make 2 more (or is it 3?) specials for mtv so thats what i assume its
for. Ooh a beefy update. Now onto more fun! Some dude from England asked me for some Tom green tapes. I said "Ok, Ill trade for the Northern Exposure DVD set season 1 from HMV..(its only available in England). He didnt respond. FOR SHAME. Yea I think its newsworthy. Since its my site! Glennenglebert Humplikdink has a live journal. Its true! Check it out here. Its here that I discovered that Glenn and Tom are going on a cross US adventure starting this past weekend! The jokes will be, how will they survive with no money to get back to California. It sounds like an interesting idea! Hopefully the guys will make it without having to give hand jobs. Glenn also got a good haircut November 20th. If you have any interesting news, email me. Sure it will take a while to get posted, but its worth it to see your name in pixels!
October
4th 2002. so I have no idea if it was good or not. good update huh?. September
13 2002. So the movie! The trailer basically plays all the best bits, but there are other parts inbetween that are good. Tom plays Duff, Jason Lee's best friend, and creator of all the scams that Jason needs in order got score the 30k for his niece to get into Harvard. Hilarity insues, and the movie concludes with a happy ending. It was pretty short, only an hour and 15 mins.. maybe we'll get an extended edition. If I could just write some more stuff about reviewers for a moment. I remember (and have the articles clipped out somewhere..) when Tom moved to the US for MTV, the Canadian reviewers freaked out.. suddenly "their Tom" was going to make it big in the US. Someone "they" had loved for "years" was going to make them proud, and they could tell all their loser reviewer buddies that they "Really knew" that Tom would make it someday. Right. These were the same douchebags that were putting down Tom for making fun of people, and playing with dead animals. He was "disgusting" when he was on Mike Bullard.. but a few months later was "our Canadian son Tom Green". This reporter in the Sun Jim Slotek that wrote the review Im just reading now.. do you even like Tom Green? Do you like Comedies besides ones starring Jackie Chan? You are old. You missed the point. People laugh. Just because you are too old to get the humor, maybe you should stick to reviewing movies with subtitles at the bottom. Bottom Line. Its a fun movie. If you like laughing, go. Tom is funny in it. I liked when he told his mom in the movie off. Made me laugh. a COMEDY. alright! thats all for now!!
June
16 2002. Glenn should be checking out a few Ottawa Renegade football games up in Canada.. check out the site!! I built it for the company I work for. So you old school Tom Green
fans, check this out. Remember the MacDougall Twins from the Rogers 22
days? Kristine MacDougall emailed me with some praise and some compliments.
Turns out Im the only site that gives a nod to the twins hand in making
the old shows so great. Its been a while since I watched the old tapes,
but I remember Tom's trip to the mall with the MacDougall Twins, where
they went to Toys R Us, and harrassed a young man in a book store. Tom
was talking about OJ Simpson and the trial in the episode, so that mustve
been really old. Kristine left this message for me.."I'm glad you
enjoyed watching some of my segments with Tom on the early shows - they
were lots So that was pretty cool! I wonder if young Clevor Trevor will email me ever again? February
3 2002. Ive kept in contact with the Tom Green show related kids (you know, Glenn, and Derek.. and believe it or not TOM.) Yes Mr. Fancy pants has finally dropped me a line, after not hearing from the guy since early 1999, the streak has been broken. Ill fill ya'll in. So I guess Ill start from the earliest news I have up till now. Remember the place where Tom held the press conference with Monica Lewinsky? Le Petite Castor? The little beaver? Someone torched it!! Yes , years from now if someone sets up a Tom Green show tour in Ottawa.. that place will be unavailable. Tom and Glenn circa October were working on getting some hosting and raising funds for tomgreen.com The place that was hosting it went out of business, so that was not good times for the guys.Oh, I also checked an email from Glenn, apparently "Uncle" the movie with tom and jason lee , was supposed to be out this month. Hmm!! No idea. I asked "still hollywood" glenn humplik about meeting jason lee, of mallrats fame. He replied! "I did meet Jason on set. Very cool guy." Again, you cant find this kinda reporting anywhere else but at AJ's Tom Green Machine. I started bugging Derek "the genius" Harvie about getting a copy of Freddy Got Fingered on DVD. Since I loved the film, and gave Derek a tip for the dvds special feature. Well I ended up buying my own copy and a month or so passed, however on November 15 2001, I got a suprise in the mail. A fedex package from Derek! Inside? the Freddy Got Fingered DVD! With letter head from Derek harvie as well.. I was pretty excited.. I figured Derek had forgotten about me. All those pestering emails paid off! (note: pestering me for derek or glenns emails wont get you a free dvd, or the email addresses.. nooch). The Derek harvie letter head states.. "Hey Aj. Hope you dont have one already. If you dont want the autograph, scrub it with soap and water.. Derek". The autograph he was talking about? a Tom autograph!.. "Hey Aj, thanks for the pointer. I'll tell Mike to bring the force. Tom Green 1992". Im pretty sure the pointer is the dvd special feature tip. The Mike and the force thing Im not sure about. Last time Tom was on Mike Bullard, it was 1999 (wow long ago..), and Episode One had just come out (a long time ago.. galaxy.. etc). Im a fan boy, so I had brought my Darth maul lightsaber to play with. Well while waiting around the green room, Mike Bullard came out of his dressing room, took the lightsaber out of my backpack.. activated it.. and then wacked me really hard on the head!! Then said "thats how jedi's are killed" or something. I was kinda shocked. So is that the connection? Thats my only guess. Tom also included his business card.. which is kinda neat. The comapny is called "Bob Green films", and has toms name in the upper right corner. Then that was it for a few months.. one day bored at work, I emailed Glenn. January 12 2002, I got this reply on what the guys were up to.."Still alive, lot's of new stuff brewing. Up next will be the Tom Green Japanese one hour special, to air on MTV, probably in early March. Another MTV special is also in the works, more news on that soon.We should have new web stuff on TomGreen.com and a Tom Green zone on ScreenBlast.com very soon.: holy crap! A Tom Green Japanese Special!! sweet. I got an email a few days later from Glenn telling me he went to check out Fu Manchu the band I do the website for. Hes a big fan! I cant wait to see the band either.. hopefully Ill get a chance soon. So there you have it! Thats the update for now. No pictures or anything, as I dont have any. My site cant be considered dead anymore.. the links to other fan pages are.. I just did a quick check. My how the mighty have fallen. OH WELL. Until next time..
October
14th 2001. Tom's new movie with Chasing Amy's Jason Lee, should be out by February.. its called Uncle (formally Stealing Sanford) and should be good times. Tom and Derek are also busy at work writing a new movie. If you are worried about Hollywood Humplik falling under Los Angeles's spell and becoming a Scientologist, fear not. Recently I asked Glenn about this, and he had this for a reply: "No plans to join just yet. Too many other things to do, like drink beer." So there you have it! Informative reporting by AJ. The Freddy Got Fingered DVD should be out on the 23rd as long as there are no delays (well in Canada anyway). TV's Derek Harvie has hopefully sent me a review copy, and hopefully I shall receive it before the street date. The review sites have all received their copies, and something that has always bothered me about movie reviewers has taken place throughout most of the reviews. If you hate Tom and his comedy, why would you bother reviewing the film? you are biased beyond belief.. Id like to slap some of these people.. yet its still funny to read how upset they get that they have "lost" 1 and a half hours of their lives watching Tom's film. Check out some of the reviews. DVDfile.com (the best DVD review site around, though the reviewer is a cry baby.. boo hoo, my job is to watch free movies and im crying..) and IGN.com has an initial review up including screen grabs from the various menus of the movie. For you people who are wondering "What will the VHS have on it" the answer is, probably the title of the movie and some copyright information on the top of the cassette. Go get a DVD player you hillbilly's.
August
08 2001. Ahh I remember the days of
Tom Green website competition.. wasnt really that long ago actually,
reason I bring this up is, the Total Tom Green site, Mike from that page
lived in another time zone, so he always watched Entertainment Tonight..
and would update his page like, that second! I could check out his site,
and go "wow, there is a Tom Green feature tonight" and go upstairs
and watch. See, I normally hate In Dvd news, the biggest DVD site, well the best one anyway (Im my opinion) for news and stuff, released the specs for the Freddy Got Fingered DVD, I feel special because I reported the info before the reporters! Im pretty jealous of these guys, they get free review copies of all the newest dvds, and all they have to do is watch them, and then write a little review.. pretty swank. Here ist the official release info. That's all for now, Glenn email me back
July
24 2001. So there you have it.. things can certainly change, but I hope all those features make it onto the disc
June
24 2001. Ive still got oodles of updates to add in the future, including all the tv appearances from the Freddy press junkit, and most of the magazine features that were out late April early May, so expect those things to slowly be added to the site in the coming weeks. I love ebay, so if you are some dink selling Tom Green videos or "signed" items, and decide to swipe some of my images.. at least have the know how to save the picture to your hard drive, rename it, and then upload to your own server for your ebay auction. If you do not, you risk the rath of aj.. who has too much free time on his hands, and somehow always encounters ebay auctions where people link pictures from this site, thus leaving me crass opportunities.. check out what i mean here. Sadly, the auction only stayed up for a few days before Ebay ended it due to standards.. good times I say!
May
6th 2001.
May
2nd 2001. The TV appearances are now
over, I managed to catch most of them, but I think I might've taped over
the "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" appearance with today's episode
of Dark Angel. I'll be putting up hilights from all the appearances, but
spanned over the next couple o' updates. Today's edition will feature
the David Letterman appearance from April 12. The conversation got off well, they talked about the usual happenings.. the movie, cancer, the "undercutters pizza" segment, and also about Tom's new wife Drew Barrymore. Tom was a little concered about Dave, as Drew once flashed Letterman on a previous show (also on Daves birthday if memory serves me..) Tom couldnt believe that Dave got to see Drew's "Gazoos". Letterman assured Tom that now that they were married he could see them as well. True enough. After the commercial break (ya Tom stayed for 2 segments..) Tom got a piece of Dave's special birthday cake.
And that was it, good appearance
Tom.You made Dave happy marrying Drew, and giving him a DVD player where
he can hopefully finally get to watch Lawrence of Arabia.
April
19 2001. so there you have my review. Of course Ill do something more, but thats it for now. Also the image to the left is an official bootleg photo taken by my lame ass in the theatre. Pretty good for being in the front pointing the camera at the screen on my lap eh? Ive got a few more that turned out ok. Ill have some reviews of the last couple of talk shows Tom has done, I recently digitized the Stern appearance, its 33 mins and in Real Audio so get ready to relax and listen to some fun times. So if you missed it, miss it no longer.. any problems, let me know. Stream it or Download it.
April
12 2001. I must also applaud Entertainment Tonight for giving away the winners of the event a full half hour before it happened. There was just no excitement when Sandra Bullock won the award for Miss Congeniality! Here are some Tom pics from
the event including the tossin of the veggies.
Tom also makes an appearance in this months "Mean Magazine" (on the cover) and "Concrete Powder Magazine". Images and reviews to follow.. March
31 2001.
February
17th - 27th 2001. I
still have plans for the site, yes yes.. the MTV episode and in depth
Rogers guide will ONE day be up. I was checking through some files and
found a collection of E-Mails from Mr. Green himself.. yes before he was
busy as hell reporting on being stressed from his cell phone driving a
fancy car in L.A, he was just Tom, living in a small appartment in Ottawa,
confused by technology/Computers, and emailing fans who emailed him. Look
for those in the future, they are hilarious (not because of what Tom said,
In the Feb 16th "Entertainment Weekly" (with the josie and the pussycats cover) there is a short article feature on Tom's new movie, along with the picture on the top left. Dont buy it, Glenn has the article available on the official site. Entertainment Tonight continues to prove to be entertaining; with plenty of coverage on the upcoming Freddy Got Fingered film, they showed hilighs from the films trailer "Daddy would you like some sausage". It was cool, and should be available on the official site soon
The media only gives one side of the story; but when asked how Tom was doing, Tv's Glenn Humplik added "They are both doing ok". When asked how many times people have asked him that question, Glenn replied "been asked at least 137 times so far." Drew's dog woke them up and saved them by barking at the bedroom door. Insane. Labs rule. Check out Tom driving a Porche one more time. -> In other news, this past Saturday's Saturday Night Live featured a skit of the burning house, with Katie Holmes playing Drew (ok), and Jimmy Fallon playing Tom (awesome, except for the horrible ass hair looking fake beard). The skit fell apart when the dog started "talking" about how Tom is an idiot etc.. I hate when SNL tries to burn people who were just hosts a few months back. Its kinda weak.
