Chris Marquette Message Board

I still hope for some bloopers, but I doubt that we will get them ... they didn't have bloopers on Season 1, why should they put in some bloopers on Season 2.
I also hope for my Amber/Chris Episode Comment on Trial & Error. <sigh>

Me too.

Ladies, I proudly present ...

the ultimative "Define first moment" shot!

I am playing fair. I do not use unofficial pictures.
AD is as much a part of Chris's vita as AG; Fanboys and JoA. If I had wanted him to look sexy or somewhat I would not have chosen the AD pic. But it's not always about sexiness. It's about honouring his work and this means I have to honour AD, too.

And I like looking at the WP although it has the AD pic on it. There are enough other nice shots.

Yeah, this is quite right. HIs performance (and Amber's too) is just overwhelming. It's great work and I appreciate this.

I hope I will. I'll take the James pic with me. Hope that helps. LOL

I wish I could do that, but the lady called at 8am and cancelled the appointment. Now I have to go next week. <sigh>

Thanks!
Yeah, I know. I couldn't use Linus pics because I wanted to sumit it to the gallery. Well, maybe I could make an "unofficial" version just for us ...

Oh! Ok, that was me and my poor English again. LOL
But of course I am with you here.

I can see the Adam connection! LOL
You already uploaded clips? Cool! I'm gonna download them now.

I can't read it, I just see the letters are OVER the shirt. I don't care what it said. Like I said, to me it makes to sense to have an actor wearing something on screen which has to be taped. They should either give him another shirt or make sure that he's allowed to wear it on TV screen. But that's just my opinion and I don't want to argue with you about that.

'American Gun'

American Gun
Directed by Aric Avelino
IFC, opens March 22, IFC Center

The first entry in the Crash subgenre sweepstakes, Aric Avelino's ambitious dependie follows the Paul Haggis award magnet's business plan pretty slavishly: Take on a contemporary social crisis (here, gun control) by way of multiple story lines, each illuminating different perspectives on the problem, and each juiced with frustration, melodrama, and mid-level-cast acting fireworks. An angsty breeze in the tradition of old Playhouse 90 issue dramas, Avelino's film occupies three states, but holds its ground best in Oregon, where a Columbine- like massacre still plagues a town several years later. In a structural gambit that's easy to underestimate, the protagonists there are a working-class mother (Marcia Gay Harden) of one of the dead shooters and his younger brother (a teen–John Cusack–mopey Chris Marquette), both of whom bristle with mis- placed guilt in a social whorl that considers them somehow responsible. The film's crescendo happens out of nowhere: A passing activist plants a black flag in Harden's lawn, precipitating a spitting word-fight in the street with her brutally accusatory neighbors.

(LOL on the Cusack referrence!)

Otherwise, Avelino seems timid about conflict, and not all of his concepts (co-written with Steve Bagatourian) are eloquent. The other tangents (Linda Cardellini's Virginian coed getting edgy after a friend is date-raped, Forest Whitaker's Chicago principal losing his grip on his job) are aimless, seemingly de-ruddered by Avelino's desire to belie story expectations; you're buckling up for an Inspirational Death once promising but streetwise student Arlen Escarpeta resorts to painting a toy gun black to defend himself, but it's a feint. All of the stories are conceived as ongoing plights, and have no third act. Which would be an improvement on Haggis's hyperbolic civics lesson if Avelino had the chops to master realism and embrace ambivalence. The acting is pro enough to keep your blood up, but the reverb is minimal.
