Chris Marquette Message Board

Awesome, yep I love that episode. Every now and again I dig the tape out.

It came to me last night. My ultimate Chris role.

My favourite book series Tomorrow When The War Began by John Marsden would make great movie/s. Of course, the movie would have to be done properly, and keep the integrity of the books, but seeing as this is something I've been wanting to see for ages, I can't think of anyone better than Chris to play one of the main characters.

The book is set in Australia which is invaded by another country, and eight 17-18yr olds are some of the few people who weren't captured straight away. So they launch guerilla warfare to help fight for their country. Bear in mind, that isn't a very good explanation, I'm just trying to give you some idea without launching into an essay about it. The books have it all, action, drama and romance in an completely un-corny and very real way.

The role I have in mind for Chris is Homer, he's 'neighbour' and best friend to the main character, Ellie, and before the war, most people had him written off as a goofball. But through the war, you see what an incredible and strong guy he is.

I would die happy if this came true. Realistically, I know the odds are slim, but that won't stop me from dreaming.

Well, I'm a sap for a chick flick, and I know Chris has the talent to do so much more than chick flicks. But I'd be eternally happy if he could squeeze one into his schedule. Besides, a nice dramatic rom com would be nice variety for him
So now you know my secret, I'm dying to see him in a rom com.

I don't have any specific roles in mind. I also think a dramatic disaster movie, though, done right. Disaster movies can be so bland and predictable. Still... something different from anything he's done.

Oh, and I don't know if I even need to add this, but I'm meaning a lead role in both.

I never liked Judith much, I have to say. She's just the kind of person that irks me a bit. And yeah, taking screen time away from Grace, Adam, Luke and the others was not a small part of that. It seemed to me that the main reason for introducing Judith was to have a character they could kill off, without too much emotional connection with the audience. Kind of like a sacrificial character.

Some of the ghost stuff I felt a bit weird about, but nothing too extreme.

And as for Ryan, he's one of those guys I just got this repulsive feeling about, like he's covered in grease. He just seemed sleazy. But I could see some definate interesting prospects that could have been developed with him s3. What I really liked the idea of was Joan's army, and the possibility she'd end up telling Grace, Luke and Adam about God. And I agree with Shrams, I'd have prefered a different actor, a different persona for Joan's rival (perhaps a cuter guy ), I'm not really a Wentworth fan.

I have to agree with you on this one. I think TPTB missed something special and what I considered to be the point of the show but changing it to try and attract younger viewers.

I like this show, but after the s1 commentarys, which were so boring and seemed to consist of "look there's my name, oh look there's so-and-sos name weren't they wonderful, oh yes." rather than actually paying much attention to what was happening on screen. (I believe were done by Barbara Hall and James Hayman) I had reservations about the producers of this show. I love the show. Dislike the producers. Now, to hear how they tried to change it to get younger viewers and consequently sabotage the show, just reinforces my point and adds more fuel to the fire.

I may not be a stereotypical teenage tv viewer, I think I got a lot of my mindless TV watching out of the way at a very young age and now I just look for quality. I hate the OC, in my opinion it's crap. I'd rather watch a show like Joan of Arcadia or Roswell or Invasion (two of my other fav shows) with actual substance anyday.

I know a lot of people my age do seem to like shows like the OC and Laguna Beach and that melodramatic genre. But that doesn't mean a perfectly good show like JoA should be ruined in the attempt to level it more with these shows to create a younger audience. There are plenty of people, admittably mostly older, who enjoy shows like JoA and that of it's dying breed. You've got to leave us something!

So many times I've wished that JoA wasn't cancelled. Two seasons isn't enough...:(
I gotta stop thinking about this, every time it just makes me angry and upset. God, I need to move on!

Sadly, I'm used to all my favourite Tv shows being cancelled. I don't watch much tv anymore...

That's awesome. glad you got to talk to him about Trial and Error, him saying that makes me feel better about it all...:)

Wow. Still kind of having trouble believing this.

That's a cool interview. Can't wait to see more.

Now that's something I'd like to see.

Hi irina

I'm Susanna, you'll notice I don't post as much as the others, but I love Chris.
I'm from New Zealand, by the way.

I watched Trial & Error in it's entirity last night. I spent the whole day knowing I was going to watch it and not wanting night to come, yet not being able to wait until I could watch it.

I've seen the Trial parts of it before, and so I had pretty much gotten a lot of my anger at Adam out of the way already. So I was pretty sympathetic to Adam, it's all really heart wrenching stuff. It's all very powerful and hard to watch. 

Surprisingly, I'm not mad at Bonnie. I feel sorry for her. She's got her own issues and Adam just complicated her life more for her, which is pretty inconsiderate. And I mean, who could actually resist Adam???

God, when Adam left Bonnies and banged his head against the wall... awww you just wanna tell him it's okay, but it's not and he stuffed up big time.

Hey guys!

I haven't watched this movie yet... but I will, especially now its holidays (yay) so there will be plenty of time to indulge in some good ole Chris watching.

I was perusing metacritic, which I'm not sure if you know of but it's a site that basically compiles all reviews of music, movies and the like, to give an overall score. I saw American Gun was listed, and thought that naturally, you'd all wanna have a look. http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/americangun

It got 48, average/mixed reviews. And it lists all the reviews they got for it.
