Chris Marquette Message Board

Just got back from Circuit City.

I had to dig through the bin, they only had 2 copies of Brick. So I picked up 1. I also picked up Field of Dreams, Rain Man, Rat Race, General's Daughter and Kentucky Fried Movie.

I would have picked up the recent version of Peter Pan, but all they had was the full screen version, so I passed on that. Best Buy also has Peter Pan at that price so I may pick it up there later.

I bought Black Snake Moan on dvd because of Justin is in it and he gave a very good performance in AD.

Well, he's good in BSM, but in my opinion not as good as he was in AD.
By the ads I am sure many thought this film was wall to wall sex, and really it isn't. There is only 2 real sex scenes, one with Ricci and Justin at the very beginning of the film and the other with Ricci and a guy. The other is a scene where she tries to have sex with a young man, but you never see it. It's really about Ricci and SL Jackson.
I think it's a very good film.

Sorry if already posted.

Of the Star Wars films, the first Trilogy (1977-1983) is the best ones.
Of the Prequels I only like 2 of them. The first one, The Phantom Menace, is pretty bad in my opinion. Jake Lloyd is a bad actor in this.
The other 2 are much better.
I just wish that they would have started the Prequel Trilogy with the Teenaged Anakin, I could care less about the little boy Anakin.

Someone mentioned Star Trek.
If I had to rate them, this is how I would rate them.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture: Director's Cut - is much better than some think. The DC fixes alot of the bad FX shots. My rating: 7
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - is one of the best Sci-Fi films ever made. My rating: 9
Star Trek III: Search for Spock - A fun Trek film, but one where you should be a Trekkie to understand some of it, especially all of the Vulcan stuff. My rating: 7.5
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - One of the best Sci-Fi films ever made, funny to boot. Plus a nice message.
My rating: 9
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - Not only the worst of the Trek films, but also one of the worst films ever made. To sum it up, Why does God need a spaceship? My rating: 2
Star Trek VI: Undiscovered Country - Almost as good as Khan. Great battle scenes. Good send-off to the original crew. My rating: 8.5
Star Trek: Generations - The pass the torch off to the Next Gen. cast. Good, but not up there as one of the best. My rating: 6.5
Star Trek: First Contact - Right up there as one of the best, The best of the Next Gen. films. My rating: 9
Star Trek: Insurrection - Fair effort, but nothing special. My rating: 5
Star Trek: Nemesis - An underrated Trek film. Some of the best battle scenes in any of the Trek films. Good villian. Good send-off of the Next Gen. crew. My rating: 8

They are very close to making it official. Looks like they have cast the 'new' Spock for the new film.

Well, everyone was expecting it to get announced at one point or another - more than likely at Comic-Con this weekend - but our sources at Paramount have just confirmed it - Zachary Quinto, the brain-eating freak (on TV) has dotted his I's, crossed his T's, and is officially on board to play Mr. Spock in the new J.J. Abrams helmed "Star Trek" film.

I still don't know what I think of the entire idea of a prequel film. Still think they should have jumped about 100 years from the Next Generation time period and have a new cast with a new Enterprise.

Just posting in case anyone wants to enter.

I found out the special features.

http://www.videobusiness.com/blog/16500 … 11524.html

Amazon,com has it up and they are saying the DVD release date is 10-16-2007

Here is the cover art.

I PM'd Nick over at IMDB and asked if he reads the messages on the AD board and if there was any news on a "Special Edition" DVD.

I'll let you know if he responds at all.

Don't be surprised if Universal does release a Special Edition sometime in the future.
With how much it's made, especially non U.S. (which now accounts for over 50% of the film's total worldwide gross) and the almost $20 million in DVD rentals and an unknown amount of DVD sales, the film has likely made Universal a nice little return.

So far on Universal's Video site there is no listing other than the 3 previous releases and the 2 pack with 8 Mile. Also there is no news on any of the DVD news site.

If Universal is working with Nick on a Special Edition I would assume that it'll be released anytime from around X-Mas or within a year or so.

I would like them to wait until they can get most of the cast together to record an audio commentary.
