    Holy crap I am SOOOO sick of hearing about Jim O'Rear! I understand that he is a lying piece of $hit! I understand that what he does is f*cked up. But man am I sick and tired of seeing post after post EVERYWHERE about him! This attention is just that- attention. He is getting more attention because of all the posts about him. He just needs to be set on fire so we can stop talking about him. Sorry if this pisses people off, but damn! I HAD to voice my oppinion. I DO NOT support what this man has done and continues to do- but I am sick of hearing about him. He sucks! Why can't people focus on something cooler? Ok- I fully expect people to yell at me now....

    Actually I stand corrected and you are right Neil. But if he was class of 1985 this would still mean that he was in High School and in Alaska when DAY was filmed in 1984.

    . I hear you Tricia and understand - it is tiresome to be sure, but the cockaroaches flee when the light is turned on, bad men thrive when good men do nothing. There is a good reason to spread the word about Jim O'Rear in this sense, though it is admittedly getting old and annoying good folks like yourself - for that you have my apologies.

    To play devils advocate, at 18, he could still play a bit part over a holiday or something!?

    Oh- no need to apologize, Yojimbo. I do get it completely. I know he wasn't really in the movie, and I know he has devalued the posters of many fans with his signature...that to me is horrible! I also agree that is important to warn people not to let him sign their stuff. I just keep seeing post after post of the same people saying the same things. don't get me wrong- I really LIKE the people who are talking about him all the time. I really do! I just wish all of this would magically come to an end so that when I go check out the groups and forums i like, i don't think "Oh- they're talking about Jim O'Rear again. This thread is a lot like the one from yesterday...." ya' know? Yes- warn people about him. But talking about it in the same places, to the same people isn't getting it out there. I'm not trying to be an asshole at all. If you guys knew me, you'd know that. I am not inherently an asshole, but I WOULD be a dumbass if I wasn't honest. This is just the way I feel.

    Oh yeah, I concede that it is possible - practically anything can be - but think that there are too many factors that make it improbable. He cannot produce any evidence of his participation, references people who were not there, cites participation in several other films at about the same time (none if which were filed in Alaska). claims that his agent got him the part in DAY( a part for which folks got paid 1 dollar) and claims he did stunts.

    You are good people, Tricia, and I grok where you are coming from. For myself I am going to stand down on this issue for now. In fact we had all put it aside and moved on before, but the recent petty attacks and annoying jabs he and his cronies recently threw at the groups started the whole firefight again. But for me I will cease fire now unless fired upon again.

    let me put the vast distances of North America in perspective. it is about 4,100 miles from Anchorage to Pittsburgh. that is about 400 miles more than the distance between NYC and London, which is about 3,700 miles by air. i truly doubt that anyone, even Phillyswat - (i'm joking with ya here philly, so roll with it), would go from Alaska to PA just to play a bit part in a romero movie at the age of 17 or 18. if i haven't lost it completely wasn't Day shot mostly in late 1984?

    Tricia, people are very annoyed with this man so they need to vent. That's why there's always talk about him. Having him trying to silence people about his frauds is what makes people want to keep talking about it. People are annoyed by him, and it seems as if the thing he hates the most is when people talk about his lies.
    And it's not only that he lies, and devalues peoples property. He's also waging a censorship war with folks on the Dr. Logans chop shop group. Which means that he's personally annoying people by reporting them on facebook. And threatening people with legal action. I know that you know all of this, and I'm not trying to remind you as if you forgot. We all understand that people are sick of hearing about it. But there's a bigger picture than that.

    Fair point! The travel costs would far out weigh any earnings, easily!

    Ya' know- the fact that he HAS attacked people in the Chop Shop group REALLY pisses me off! Like I said before- I like a lot of the people he's hurt- and that group is FULL of people I really like a lot. To me, the fact he has...or has has had someone...delete posts is an admission of guilt. I've been trolled on more than one occasion, and i had no problems leaving their comments up. It made them look like complete idiots...so of course I left their comments. I left them up because what they were saying wasn't true and people who know me, knew that fact....I have nothing to hide. BUT if I was feeling guilty or embarrassed because their comments WERE true, I may have taken them down or reported those people. Yep- it's an admission of guilt when someone starts deleting posts and reporting people- or threatening them with legal action. It is a sign they have something to hide. Ok- I will be quiet about it now, because frankly, the thought of the dude leaves a bad taste in my brain. I truly wish the best to anyone he hurts or has hurt in one way or another. I do hope he gets what he deserves.

    Not to ressurrect this thread, but I thought it should be shared that Jim O'Rear's minons are continuing to attack my friends on facebook. They are still taking advantage of the auto-ban features there by reporting the most innocent posts on the Dr. Logan Chop Shop page. A couple of my friends there actually got sent to the cornfield for a 24 hour ban. So this guy is still taking pot-shots at the group, trying his best to continue being a petty annoyance.

    wow - You'd think Facebook would pick up on this after a while and realise what's going on?

    We also never got Savini's promised rant. Maybe he thought twice about it!

    Only the innocent seem to suffer on sites like FB and YouTube. J.O's minions flagging people and getting them into trouble is just as bad as people who file false DMCA's on YouTube. Gor (my husband) and I STILL have a video that has not been reinstated there because of a false DMCA- it's been 6 years! They just don't care if their users are getting abused by others mis-using THEIR system. The only way to get these sites to listen is if you are an advertiser waving dollar bills in front of their noses. It is a shame that the person who started the ChoShop group (I think we all know who he is, but I won't mention names) can't file a complaint with FB about members of his group getting wrongfully harassed. I doubt they'd listen if he did, though. It's sad.

    Yah, well count me among those who paid ( at Monstermania, about six years ago in New Jersey ) $20 to get Romero's autograph ( the first and last time I'll do that. ) and we had an interesting conversation for all of five minutes, where for part of it I let him know of the good work Neil and Co. have done all these years on HPOTD. Still, while I'm not a huge autograph hound - I don't consider it money or time wasted.

    Now Ray Harryhausen ( FX legend, for those who didn't know ) - the autograph was free but I had to pay for his book. ; )
    Again, money well spent.
