Chris Marquette Message Board

There was another synopsis that said he wanted to be a major league ballplayer but wasn't good enough.  I could live with that.  It didn't say he was one of the worst players in history.  That is gonna be embarrassing, folks.  Damn.  Well, it looks like this is going to be more of a romantic comedy than a baseball movie anyway.  Guess that's OK.  We get to see him fall in love and try to win the girl.  That should be fun.  Do we know who's playing the girl?

Deb

That is astounding!  I'd be crying right now if that was me.  I could get my crushed sunglasses fixed!  Why do things like that never happen to me? 

Yeah, it's the little things that make life worth living. 

Deb

Awesome!  I'll check these out when I get home tonight.

PS: Oops! The list of clips for Just Friends says "Just Friend".

Guess I'd better watch that clip with my good speakers, then, huh?  No commment on the Jackass stuff.  LOL!

Out Of Sight

Adam sees Joan talking to GothGod and approaches her after He walks away.  "Who were you talking to?" he asks, pointing at God as He disappears down the hall.

"God" Joan answers, "He's big into Marilyn Manson."  Of course, she plays it off as a joke.

Adam laughs with her, mainly to difuse the tension between them, I think.  It's a lovely moment.  A little frustrating maybe, but they're both really sweet and cute here for a moment.

PS: TeeJay, this recap came in at 11 hand-written pages.  Probably 4-5 typed.  Will send it ASAP.

You know what, Anne, you are so gonna love what TeeJay will e able to do with the caps for AG now.  You can see subtleties of facial expression you couldn't see in the VHS version.  Especially in the scene between David and Janet in her room.  I thought wow, I didn't see those puppy dog eyes the first time around when he's standing in the doorway, looking like he's afraid to go in.

Deb

OK, so I'll spoil it.  No Chris in the tiny special making of doc.  Only the same 4 people who have been promoting the movie all along - Aric Avelino, Linda Cardellini, Marcia Gay Harden and & Forest Whitaker.  I don't think it was a question of money.  It's a nice little doc.  It was probably a question of availability.  When was Chris free to participate in the marketing of the movie?  Pretty much never.  Oh well.  It's wonderful to see a nice, clean print of the film. Though I'd still like to know why the David/Janet story was shot in those washed-out colors while the other storylines were not.

Another possible reason Chris didn't participate in the marketing is that the movie sat on the shelf for so long that he looks completely different now.  He doesn't look like a 16-year-old boy anymore.  He looks like a 22-year-old man.  Maybe Avelino though that it would be too obvious that the movie is a few years old if Chris was interviewed for it.  I've seen that happen before.

Deb

Girls, I spoke too soon.  There is one special feature.  I didn't notice because it's printed very small on the back.  But I'm not allowed to say what the special feature is per TeeJay.  Gonna watch it now.  I will let you know whether it's good or not, but I'll keep it secret.

Deb

I like Lukas Haas.  But not for his ears.

Deb

We're al off today.  It's a national holiday called Labor Day.  No one will read it but I won't see it till tomorrow, so if there's anything you need for me to know today, can you forward it to home?

We have a couple of things to do, but I'm hoping we get back to our marathon soon. 

Deb

We watched The Gift tonight because Steph was tolerating the weepy stuff pretty well so far.  And when I told her about it, she decided it sounded good.  She laughed at all the funny stuff, said she liked Grace a lot.  Knew she would.  But she called Adam a girl.  After he yelled at Joan for trying to give him money, she said, "Don't be such a girl!"  I told her it was a sore spot with him, hating to feel pittied.  But, of course, he is kind of a girl and we see a lot of that in this ep.  But that's part of why we love him, because he's gentle and sweet and mellow.

Tomorrow, we're going to do Queen Of The Zombies and I am seriously considering showing her T&E because she asked to see the one that made me fall in love with Chris.  I'm also going to show her the Adam & Grace scene.  And I want to show her some James.  And at least a couple of pics of Linus, just so she can see the whole evolution we've witnessed.

Deb

PS: TeeJay, she sends her compliments on the Dorquette Drool Towel.  She was very impressed that you did it by hand with fabric paint.  She says it looks like it was printed someplace professionally.
