Chris Marquette Message Board

Yikes! I've had semesters where my bookstore bill was insane as well.

I needed one of those expensive calculators in high school -- which math are you taking that requires one?

Nope I had no idea where or when it was taking place, as it wasn't printed in the schedule. I had heard rumors that it would screen, but I have no idea how people figure out when it happens. I did have a conversation with a girl in the line for a Robot Chicken signing who told me that she had won some sort of drawing that got her a ticket to the Pineapple Express screening. So maybe that's how they do it?

It was our first year there, so we were figuring out how everything works. There's a ton of stuff to see and you have to accept that you can't do it all. People line up hours before panels and signings, so I'm sure it's the same deal with film screenings.

I did get to see some cool people, though. And in front row, no less. I put some pictures up over at my Flickr account if anyone's interested: http://flickr.com/photos/heyybrother/. I'm for sure going back next year.

Hah, that wouldn't surprise me.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not an anti-Twilight person. I'll definitely be one of the people who goes to see it in theaters. I just don't plan on lining up for the midnight showing. I'm as curious as any other person to see Hardwick's adaptation.

And while age may have nothing to do with why I can't find reason to go ga-ga over Twilight, I did spend a great deal of my fangirl energy on Harry Potter when I was a preteen. I had bedsheets. Yeah that's right, I said it. Bedsheets. Plus, I think at least half of my t-shirts said Gryffindor on them. So I'd be shocked if anything ever elicits that kind of reaction from me again, hahaha.

For me, the first book was the most enjoyable. It only took me a couple of hours to finish it, especially since 60% of the story is a description of how beautiful Edward is). I didn't put it down feeling like my life had been changed. I definitely wouldn't consider myself much of a fan. I don't know, I could be a little too old for it. Apparently, though, there's a whole league of freaky fan mothers who prowl message boards and stuff, so perhaps there is no age limit to this fandom. But yeah, I found that the writing is mediocre, Bella is too wimpy, and Edward just pisses me off.

But I applaud any author who can find ways to make children enjoy reading. So um...yay Stephenie Meyer.

Hahaha. Oh yay.

Thanks everyone!

20 years old - still stuck in a weird age limbo. Oy.

Yeah, Josh impressed the hell out of me in Mean Creek. Before I had only thought of him as the little chubby Nickelodeon boy whose voice was higher than mine. Olivia Thirlby is pretty freakin' talented too, so I'm wicked excited to see this one. Chris would have been amazing in it, obviously, but I think Josh will definitely pull it off.

Michael is just so damn likable. Thanks for the link

Most of my guilty pleasures are shows/movies I used to love as a kid. I can't help but buy movies like The Land Before Time and Fern Gully simply for the nostalgia I feel when I watch them again.

Welcome Emma!

Hahaha, depends on the assignment, I suppose.

But probably.

Jeeeez. If they do this right, they'll make a really good film out of this story.

Aaron Yoo is a really natural actor, in my opinion. I've seen him in a few other things aside from Disturbia and he always delivers a solid performance. And of course I have no doubt that Chris will completely own this role.

Oooh, I'm excited!
