Thanks to Donna Marie for this io9.com interview with Amy Smart about ‘Crank: High Voltage’. It’s cute when she says that Jason is a badass on screen, but definitely shy in real life.
Amy will be a guest on the Craig Ferguson show this Thursday night.

I have read a few little spoilers for Crank 2 and I am going to really PO’d when they leave Chev all f**ked up just so they can make Crank 3. It’s hard on this old heart to have to wait two years to see what those two nutjobs can do to our boy next.

when i see Jason being interviewed he seems to have that shyness or nervousness when he is speaking. When he talks his body pulls sideways or backward, he seems to be uncomfortable sometimes in his seat. I see him somtimes talking and scratching his arm that looks like he is uncomfortable/nervous.
I love a little shyness in a man.

Jealous of Amy Smart.

Susie, I have some recollection (if wrong, oh well) that you are from Rhode Island. If so, random thought, but can you recommend a nice beach town to go for a b+b weekend?
April 15, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Jaz: Newport RI would be perfect I’d say. It’s got a great beach for new england and lots of places to go for lunch and shop and walk around.

Thank you! I desperately need to go stare into some waves and decompress ASAP. I’ve been seeing these Brazil beach shots and thinking OCEAN. NOW!
April 15, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Oh that ocean looks so good right now. I need a vacation, and I just came back from one on Sunday. Lol.
April 15, 2009 at 4:44 pm
oh i’d die for a beach right now. i was born and raised on what is considered to be one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world,and am now currently landlocked until hubby finishes school.
April 15, 2009 at 5:53 pm
I’m two hours from the west coast, but I would die for a nice vacation in Brazil!!

I definitely agree that he should remake Speed but the others, I don’t know. Perhaps.

” I asked you to give me a refreshing drink.. wasn’t expecting a fucking rain forest. You could fall in love with an orangutang in there”- Ahahaha so funny. I want a raspy grizzled voice like that now too ahaha
April 15, 2009 at 6:24 pm
yeah Court I was just about to say those all sound so bad. And I loved speed just how it was..the first one only though but they shouldn’t remake it. He should just do new movies and make his own classics rather than do movies that have already been done and no one cares to see remade.
April 15, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Amy had to be thrilled with this part, I think she has a beau, but my goodness, just thinking about Jason’s breath to mine would make me, uh, well you know, shewww….
April 15, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Haha @ the Lock, Stock quote. I hope Guy and Jason team up again (a la Lock, Stock or Snatch). I loved Revolver but I happened to be reading ‘The Prince’ when I saw it, otherwise I’m not sure I would have enjoyed it.

Jaz, you’re right, I am from RI. When are you thinking of coming? For a B&B weekend, Logan’s right, Newport is definitely your best bet. Their beaches are not the nicest in the state, IMO, though. Better beaches are in Narragansett, South Kingstown, and Charlestown. Newport’s beaches are definitely nice, but usually have a bunch of seaweed you have to get through to deeper, clearer water. I’m not sure where you’re coming from, or if you’re willing to ferry it, but Block Island is fabulous in the summer, too. Like Newport, but way less commercial and touristy. There’s a ferry from Point Judith, in Narragansett, or from Newport – it’s not too expensive and it’s only about a 1/2 hour or 45 minute ferry.
Please feel free to ask if you have any other questions! Have fun!

Thanks Susie. My internet research corresponds with what you said about beaches and Block Island, although it seems kind of hard to get last minute rooms at BI even this time of year for some reason.
April 17, 2009 at 9:30 am
See I’ve never been to Block Island, but Narragansett is really nice.
