Chris Marquette Message Board

Yeah, I have to take back my remark about Taylor possibly looking native with his wig.  I've seen other stills and damn, it's atrocious.  I was blinded by my desire for Twilight sparkles and cupcakes!  I wonder if extensions would have looked better.  I read somewhere that the film is kinda low budget so, maybe they just weren't able to afford QUALITY wigs (oxymoron?).

That girl looks more like Rosalie than Nikki Reed does.  Nikki's bad dye job (or wig?) makes my heart cry a little!:crying:

Yeah... I got New Moon and Eclipse, last Friday.  I stayed up until 5 am to finish New Moon.  Despite my promise to give myself a rest, I picked up Eclipse on Saturday afternoon and finished Sunday night.  My friends interrupted me and I got so upset.  lol.

I wonder what he did on his birthday.  Aside from obviously having an Elmo cake, I mean. ;D

Thanks for the suggestion.  I want to get into native bands, but don't know where to look.  My uncle says that XIT and, I think, Red Earth are good.  Did the sample songs on amazon come from Custer Died For Your Sins or The Land Is Your Mother?  The first contains his original recordings, but the latter were re-recorded because there's no recording tape (?) available for the original.   They're lost to time!  All that's left are old LPs.  He's not the best singer in the sense that he was well-trained, but my goodness.  When I listened to that record, it was like my eyes were being opened for the first time.  I want to learn the songs so that I can play them in remembrance of my father.  These are probably also from TLIYM, but they're the full songs: http://www.imeem.com/tag/?q=album:Custe … er&f=music  "35 More Miles" (not titled "Mama" as I had previously said) is particularly beautiful to me.  The struggle it paints for you.  My heart weeps.  /sappy.

To bring this thread back on topic, I have to mention that I saw this interview that MTV did with Taylor Lautner:  http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles … tory.jhtml  In the video, there is a half-second clip of him with a long wig on.  From the side, I SWEAR, he looks like he could be a younger Adam Beach.  That alone may have won me over.  Too bad he didn't just grow out his hair.  I hope it doesn't look like a bad wig in the film.

XD True!  I never thought of JoA as romantic comedy.  I'm such a snob that the words are almost dirty to me.  I've become allergic to Kate Hudson and Matthew Macccoadsofhanhay.

I LOVE Spanish football and Villa is such a joy to watch.  I get mesmerized.  *fangirl*  I'm especially happy about the win because maybe now, people will stop talking about the national team like they're losers/can't follow through.  I'm sad for Germany, but I couldn't handle those same comments again, if Spain had lost.

Thanks for the link, Teejay!  I looked for them once before, but clearly didn't look hard enough.  haha.

I JUST recently bought Northanger Abbey.  I'm a sap for period romances. *swoons*

I wonder if his height affects the kinds of roles he gets.  I know he's still young, but I wonder if it annoys him to play high school/teen roles.

Anyone can come on reservations.  We don't require passports! XD  I'm sure that people would have shown up, if word was spread.  The filmmakers of Whale Rider found Keisha Castle-Hughes by going to her school to cast the part. 

Oh, Jesus.  I just looked up his site and it says, "Both of my parents are caucasian. But so many people ask where I get my "tan"? Well I do get a little color from my mothers side of the family coming from the French side. Other than that the rest comes from being out in the sun. "  Nice.  Instead of an actual Native American (even 1/2 would do, I'm not that picky!), the character goes to a tanned, white boy.  WTF, is this the 1950s??

To be honest, I'm new to the Twilight series.  I just found out that Taylor is playing Jacob, though I can understand why you'd be annoyed, if you've been hearing this kind of stuff for months.  It's just annoying that this is happening more and more.  The girl that played Pocahontas in that Colin Farrell movie had a bit of South American indian in her, but was mostly Swedish, I think.  Also, there was another movie called Pathfinder (BAD!) and the female lead was a girl of Korean, Irish, & Dutch ancestry.  Um?  Normally, I wouldn't care what actor got what role, but there's a principle here!  I'll stop complaining, though...  I guess it's kinda late to start writing letters demanding a change. ;D

My name is Courtney and I'm Mississippi Choctaw.  My friend recommended Joan of Arcadia to me so, a few weeks ago, I had a marathon via netflix.  Loved Adam, but love Chris more since seeing Just Friends and Alpha Dog.  His range and ability to slip into such diverse characters amazes me.  Needless to say, I've added more of his films to my queue.   I don't really know what else to say about myself...  I'm 26 and work at an elementary school, so I'll probably soon lose all will to procreate.  lol.

Gah, I'm so excited for this that I could eat my socks.  I just read the first book, last week, and am waiting for the next books to come in the mail.  (Should've just gone to walmart!)  I'm just annoyed that Taylor Lautner is going to be Jacob.  I was really excited to see a young, native actor get a role in this (possible huge) film.  Instead, it's this kid that just looks very generically ethnic.  Wikipedia claims he's part native, but doesn't even name the tribe?  I guess it shouldn't really matter, but it really bothers me.  We're such an unrepresented ethnic group so, I feel a little cheated.  It makes me wonder how hard they tried to find a native actor.  Hey, here's a novel idea.  How about trying the tribe, which the actor has to represent?  -_-;  /rant.
