Yes, both Sean and Michael are in it. Michael has several other films which were submitted and may be announced later today at 4 PM when the remainder of the films are revealed.
I should know later whether or not he'll be going as well.
It's complicated so I won't get into details but I can't say for certain yet if I'll be there. Right now it looks more likely than not but I should know very soon.
Assuming I go, and Sean attends, I will of course get together with him and report back to you guys. ![]()
TeeJay wrote:That's Michael? I didn't even realize.
I didn't realize that either! LOL
Yup. His character is a riot in the film. Although not necessarily intentionally. Actually, everyone is a bit clueless -- it's a very funny movie. That may have been his best moment, though. I was literally ROFL. I almost busted a rib laughing. Especially knowing it wasn't "acting." :rofl:
That's Michael? I didn't even realize. So he's the high-pitched voice screaming "Last day of school, bitches"? And, ouch. Hope he didn't hurt himself too bad.
-TeeJay
Yup, that's Michael almost killing himself. Michael is the one yelling "oh s***." The "bitches" line was Sean's, I believe. He's the one on the passenger side.
I see, Larry. Actually, the teaser I was talking about is this one:
http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseacti … d=20575160
The one where they used the Alexi Murdoch song. I guess they took that off the official site...
-TeeJay
That one is not on the site, no.
I love it -- that opening shot with Michael slipping and slamming into the car was a mistake, by the way. They did a couple of takes but it was so funny they decided to go with that one. It hurt, too.
I've seen the "barf on your ass" one. (Ew, no thanks, Michael, I'll pass.) But wasn't there some dialogue in the beginning? The teacher says something in class, doesn't she? About what the future might bring or something like that.
-TeeJay
No, there's no dialogue at the beginning or anywhere else in it at all. It starts with music and the song runs all through it. At the very end the music stops and Michael has that one line.
It ends with Michael saying "barf on your ass."
That's the only dialogue.
It was basically another trailer, with clips, dialogue, and music. The one called "Teaser" has clips and music only.
Uh.... why?? Was Chris in it?
-TeeJay
Haha. That could be taken two ways... ![]()
I believe he was, yes. I'm not sure why it was removed. If I recall correctly, the aspect ratio was off so it might have been just a technical issue. It's also possible that they didn't have clearance for some of the music but I don't want to speculate.
Yup. It was removed.
The first one is an entertainment news report which was done at the time of the LA Film Festival. Then there are 3 "trailers." The one called "Teaser" is basically a trailer -- just clips with music and no dialogue. The one called "Trailer" is the same trailer as the one which was up before. The one called "Video" is basically another trailer, with clips, dialogue, and music.
There's a cast list but it doesn't include links to their characters or bios yet. Finally, there's contact info.
Eventually there will be stills and production notes, etc.
Nice find! From what I recall they weren't there. I believe they are absent at Getty as well:
Hey everyone!
On Friday night I attended the East Coast Premiere of Choose Connor at the Woodstock Film Festival. This film is a singular achievement and the vision of one man, Luke Eberl. As reported in Variety a few days ago, Eberl wrote, directed, produced and edited this film at the age of 19.
Choose Connor a very moving film about hypocrisy. It could take place just about anyplace where power is wielded but in this case it is set amidst a congressman's run for senator, as seen through the eyes of a young idealistic middle school graduate (Alex Linz) with his heart set on public service. The script is sharp and smart -- Eberl is amazingly intelligent and literate and it shows. There are some incredibly memorable lines -- I'll post some later. It's shot quite professionally for someone so young and with little experience behind the camera, and the pacing is just perfect.
The film is chock full of veterans and industry pros -- no doubt you'll recognize many faces. Chris only has one scene but it's very moving and is one of the most pivotal and important moments in the whole movie. But most of all this is Alex Linz's film, along with Escher Holloway as the congressman's nephew and Steven Weber as Congressman Lawrence Connor. Linz is onscreen pretty much from start to finish. He really nailed it.
I had a chance to chat with Eberl and producer James McLean afterward. They spoke so highly of Chris. We could have talked all night but they had another film to get to. Their next stop is Europe -- Choose Connor has been selected for the Rome Film Festival.
Oh, yes. The party scene actually takes up about half the movie, maybe more. The party scene basically is the movie, for all intents and purposes. There was alot of improv, and much of the "partying" was real.
I know exactly what story he is talking about. We were literally ROFL. :rofl:
I saw the film about a month ago at a secret location hehe :devil:. It is not your "typical" film. I'd put it more into the category of "Friday night midnight cult classics" or "let's all get wasted and watch this movie."
There's not much of a plot, but it's a lot of fun to watch, especially for fans of Chris and Sean. :applause:
The Temecula Valley Film Festival has awarded the Special Jury Prize for directing to Jess Manafort for The Beautiful Ordinary.
Congratulations!
Choose Connor has been selected for the Woodstock Film Festival. This will be the East Coast Premiere and is one of 6 films in the Narrative Competition.
There will be two screenings:
Rosendale Theater
10/12/2007
7:00PM
Bearsville Theater
10/13/2007
11:00AM

Today's Cinematical has a piece, "Cinematical Seven: Teen Sex Comedies That DON'T Suck!" ![]()
Included:
The Girl Next Door (2004, Luke Greenfield) -- One of the most overlooked and unjustly dismissed "low-brow" comedies of the past five years, the flick tells the tender story of a mega-horny nice-guy teenager -- and the young porno queen who moves in next door. Aside from the fine performance from Emile Hirsch, the luminous presence of the stunning Elisha Cuthbert, and a lot of random sexiness, the flick pretty much belongs to supporting players Chris Marquette, Paul Dano and the awesomely oily Timothy Olyphant. (Funny Factor: 4 out of 5 / Sexy Factor: 4.5 out of 5)
OOPsy, sorry. I didn't realize it was from an IM...I thought it was from an IMDb post. My bad. :embarrassed:
Don't they teach punctuation in school any more?
That first paragraph had to be the longest single sentence I've ever seen. Not to take away from his review, of course. ![]()
Aww..well thanks -- and I really do mean that. :embarrassed:
Hey now, you just pulled the rug out from under my small moment of joy there. :crying:
Oh well, I'll take the high road and say that this is the best Chris Marquette message board in the world. ![]()
