Chris Marquette Message Board

Its an exaggeration to say that he's in everything.

Sure he maybe in some high profile films, but he's not in everything.

A quick look at his IMDB page shows that he's mostly in just 2 or 3 films per year. In fact his peak year in terms of amount of films was 2003 with 4.

Well, when it comes out on dvd she could watch it through a certain point and then either stop or skip that portion. It does say 'In order of appearance' at the top so that helps.

Anyways, the cast looks good to me.

The subject matter tends to sounds a tad too much like a chick flick though to me.
From IMDB:

Poster for the upcoming movie with Anton Yelchin.

Yeah sort of.

Here he is holding a tennis racquet and she has a big gun. Which one makes more sense?

Well at least they didn't use the floating heads type of thing. For example the city being overtaken by bugs on the bottom and then their heads in the sky. That would be even worse.

DVD Artwork from amazon.com.

I have noticed a trend that is happening.

Studios will offer both the dvd and Blu-Ray. However, the dvd is bare-bones. Whereas the Blu-Ray has all the extras.

It seems to me be a rather stupid thing to do. At this point in time standard dvd is still owned by the majority and Blu-Ray is still a niche market.

I've read on other boards that many aren't even buying the dvd anymore because of this.

Here are some screencaps of the special features that will be on the dvd.

This one shows the Klingons on the Klingon Prison Planet where Nero was held for 25 years.

It loads ok for me.

Bought this from Best Buy this morning.

Yesterday I checked BB's site and the stores around here were sold out. Then I checked again this morning and they had them back in stock. So went over there and all they had was 2 left in stock. So I picked up one.

Yup, based on a video game.

Here is the Region 2 (U.K.) DVD Artwork for the single disc, 2-Disc & the Blu-Ray editions.

I just hope that the U.S. gets better artwork than this. Really rather bland and looks cheap.
