Chris Marquette Message Board

That's a pretty short window from theatrical to DVD, too. Less than eight weeks.

P.S. Michael just got his 1000th MySpace friend. That's in just over 5 months. Most of that came in the last 2 months after he was cast in Twilight.

In many markets, First Look is giving away run-of-engagement passes.

New York area residents can enter to win through The Village Voice.

Remember the Daze put out a press release on PRNewswire. It got picked up in many places, including Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance, Hollywood Gossip, Celebrity News, Elite TV, Comtex, and FOX Business. It mentions Chris and Sean.

I'm fairly certain Luke will be there. Assuming nothing else gets in the way, I should be going and will report back as usual. This was one film I definitely want to see again. It was one of my favorites of the year and, even though Chris only has one scene, it's THE pivotal one in the movie.

There will be a Hollywood Premiere on April 8 at the Egyptian Theater. :applause:

By the way, the same day Michael's Day of the Dead comes out on DVD and the first of his four episodes of The Riches airs on FX.

There are some TV spot screencaps, trailer screencaps, teaser trailer screencaps, and production stills from Remember the Daze HERE.

Some have been posted but not all, I don't think.

So did I, Deb, so did I.

I have a bunch of favorites in it as well. In fact, there are five actors in the film whose work I admire. Three of those I've met. I haven't met the other two but have corresponded with one pretty regularly. Of the three I have met, one I've seen on several occasions and partied with. Another is one of my best friends. In fact, we watched the film together sitting on the same couch.   

Very few films I've seen have had so many actors in it who I've met and/or consider friends. I had a hard time believing I'd be disappointed too.

I updated my blog with the latest updates on Michael's eight new films and his TV series:

:rofl: "bats eyes seductively"

It doesn't have to be within the context of the story. It's not necessarily "I remember the days..." It could be "do you remember the days?" Or just an instruction: "Remember the days."

Not all films that are period pieces or are based on things that happened in someone's life (remembrances) need to be told from a first person point of view. In fact, films which begin with voiceover and are narrated that way have become such a cliche. I see so may films that use this device that I've grown to hate it. I saw six films in a row at the last festival that I went to which began with voiceover. It's so overused that I think it's become a crutch. A creative filmmaker shouldn't need to do that to tell a story. I actually prefer that the filmmaker just tell the story through images and dialogue rather than through the eyes and voiceover of someone who is supposedly looking back on their life.

A film called "Remember the Alamo" doesn't have to mean that someone has to be telling the story from a first person point of view. It just has to tell the story of what happened there. A film called "Remember the 60s" can just be about the Vietnam War or The Beatles or whatever. There doesn't have to be someone telling the story from their own point of view. So I don't see why "Remember the Daze" has to be about someone telling the story in their own words. That would make more sense if it was "I Remember the Daze."

Don't flame me, but...having seen the film I can tell you that the title was baffling to those of us who saw it. It really doesn't say anything about the movie and certainly doesn't give anyone any idea of what it's about. And that is, ultimately, death for any film.

While the new title may be a ripoff (or an homage, however you want to look at it) of Dazed and Confused, the fact is that really is what the film is most like. Frankly, it is much better at indicating what the movie is about and is much more likely to get people to want to see it, and isn't that what we want?

I hate to disagree with you guys, as we are all on the same side here, but I can honestly tell you that this title is much better, in my opinion. Please think about it and give it a chance to sink in. Everyone I know who saw the film was scratching their heads over the old title and prayed that they would change it. I'm happy. :applause:

Sorry guys, things got crazy yesterday real fast. :witsend:

Here is the short version of what happened.

I first announced it here on IMDb:
http://imdb.com/title/tt1099212/board/thread/97385864

Of course, within hours that thread had over 50 posts, someone had sent it to Twilight Lexicon, they posted it, it got hundreds of replies there, other people saw it there and came back to "announce" it on IMDb (in the same board where my post already was lol) and within a few hours there were hundreds of posts and dozens of threads on the Twilight board all "announcing" what had been posted hours before. It was crazy.

Meanwhile, it started getting picked up by other sites either from my original post or the others, with a sort of full circle thing going on where people would say "it's on this site so must be true" even though that site was only quoting another one. It was kind of funny, actually. It started appearing on other Twilight sites and people's LiveJournals, all basically using the others as sources. After awhile most people never noticed the original post and just referenced sites which referenced sites which got it from there earlier in the day. Sort of like a game of telephone where nobody knew where it came from but they knew it was out there.

A few hours after I announced it on IMDb, I wrote this article:
http://www.pronetworks.org/forum/story101293.html
I also C&P'd it and sent it out as a bulletin on my MySpace (the one you quoted above). That started getting spread around as well.

That post has over 1300 hits after one day, by the way.

By the end of the day it had been sent all over, posted on Wikipedia, etc. and started showing up at so many sites and boards with so many threads and replies that I couldn't keep track anymore.
