Chris Marquette Message Board

TeeJay, I think it's time you repost your Short History of Fanboys for new people who are starting to become aware that it's on the way.  Like maybe do a bulletin on MySpace again.  I bumped your thread back to the top on IMDb.  If people start seeing the poster and the trailer and then the marketing starts to gear up, more and more and more people are going to be asking that same question, What Happened To Fanboys?  You might even consider using that as a title for a MySpace bulletin.

But then again, we're not your average Star Wars or Fanboys fans...

Chris to star in the new Todd Solondz movie ::: Posted on Nov 13, 2008 by TeeJay

Chris's latest project is a role in the new Todd Solondz movie that is currently still title-less. Once called Life During Wartime, the film stars Paul Reubens and focuses on a family during wartime. If nothing has changed since it was first announced a couple of years back, it brings together characters from Welcome to the Dollhouse and Happiness with different people playing the roles. The movie is currently being filmed on location in Puerto Rico.

For some people this might be a drawback: Paris Hilton also stars in the movie...

Well, it's not all peripheral either.  We've basically spent the day with him twice.  Goodness only knows how much time we'll get in LA, but maybe we'll be lucky enough to hang with him a little bit at least. 

Nope, rent a room in a house.

I was actually referring to the fact that, in my peculiar parlance, DVD's are issued in two formats now: Blu-Ray and what I like to call "normal" or normal-widescreen format ... in other words, formatted for those of us with REGULAR DVD players not and Blu-Ray type.

THANKS, Illinois for this clarification. You are a real go-to guy, here! I recall your having been that from seeing your posts on the Alpha Dog MB in IMDB.com, too.

OK, I think what threw me off is the "Normal Widescreen format".

I think you're just referring to Blu-Ray and what could be called "regular dvd", "standard dvd", or what I think best fits is "Standard Definition DVD". In other words the DVD format that's been around since 1997.

Speaking in general terms, Anamorphic Widescreen isn't exclusive to Blu-Ray and has been available on Standard Definition DVD for over 10 years now. So there really isn't anything really called "Normal-widescreen" format.

While I don't own a Blu-Ray dvd player or even a widescreen tv yet, my understanding is that all Widescreen ratio films are released only in the Widescreen Format. Of course older TV shows/films that are in the 4:3 aspect ration ("Full screen" is presented in that format, or what I hate is what is called MAR (Modified Aspect Ratio) where they would actually blow up the original image to fill the widescreen tv screen which results in things being cut off.

What do you mean by "Normal widescreen"?

By the way, it will be rated PG-13.

Sorry if old news.

Let me rephrase: The quality of the YouTube vid is relatively poor but not horrible. The quality is too poor for me to want to put it on the front page. But the quality of the video is NOT THE POINT. It's the fact that it's a YouTube video that someone from the audience uploaded to YouTube. My point was that no one official cares enough to put the video up in a more official way for people to want to grab it and link it.

Now, can we please let this go?

If anyone from TWC monitored the MB and they didn't like it, we would've been smacked down ages ago.  Read the Bend Over Fanboys thread.  It's nothing but us bitching about their mistreatment of the film.  They either know everything about us and how we feel, or they don't care and they know nothing.  Either way, my own personal feelings about this movie are naked all over the Internet.  TWC either knows everything about me, or they don't care and they don't know.  Either way, it's far too late to put the kid gloves on with this one.

They don't care.  How many times does it have to be said?  TWC does not give a rat's ass about this movie.

It's not the quality that irks me, it's the fact that someone in charge should be putting this up somewhere on a more official site for everyone to see and to link to and show to people. I'd put it on our front page as a News bulletin if it wasn't a YouTube vid. If they want the movie to come out on Sep 19, they're a tad late with promotion. I have a feeling there's not gonna be any promotion to speak of. Just so Harvey gets his satisfaction when the movie tanks because no one but the geeks who've been following it for all these years are gonna watch it.

They could do so many things, promotion-wise, things that are cool and awesome that will get the broad public really geeked up. Because we know these guys have the material for it! Instead there's not even an official announcement out yet that the movie's gonna be released when everyone said it's gonna be released. There's no trailers showing anywhere. There's no nothing.
