Chris Marquette Message Board

And now imagine getting on a tram or train, minding your own business, grumpy as usual because you're on the way to work, you mutter, "Is this seat still vacant?" without paying attention. You sit down and bury your head in your book. And then, just by chance, you look up and sitting opposite you is..... CHRIS! OMG, I think I'd drop my book and turn tomato red. LOL

Yeah, well, it's cool that he takes the train. Regular dude, just like we always said. He'll probably stop doing that when every second person asks him, "Oh, uhm, you're Chris Marquette, aren't you?" So, three big cheers for regular-dude Chris. Man, I wanna know if the towel made its way to its intended destination!

And TeeJay, they didn't necessarily have him on blocks because he's so terrbliy short (5'7" or 8" is not that short).  They said it was to bring him into the shot.  It probably just had something to do with the way they had to frame it in-camera in such a tiny room.  I've seen this done, and the guy was not short at all.  It was just a perspective problem.

Yeah, see? I know nothing about shooting movies. I still think it'll look gigantically stupid to have two-inch blocks under your feet. LOL

The scenes shot the day before are set in Charlie's dorm room, where he finds Mick. Jesse Eisenberg, who was the older boy in the film "The Squid and the Whale," is Charlie; Jason Ritter, son of the late actor John Ritter, is Mick, and Chris Marquette, seated on a chair with 2-inch-tall blocks under each leg to better bring him into the scene, is Charlie's longtime best friend and college roommate. (Ed: EXCUSE ME??? He's not *that* short, is he?)
