Very Cool Photo. Shame about the absense of Baruchel.

Oh God, I think I got so used to the face fuzz lately, I didn't even notice he shaved! Or maybe I was too tired. But I've just watched a very beautiful movie and now I am not tired anymore.

Pics from our friend, MaraJade...

Hey TeeJay, can you get rid of the red eye? I know how to do it, but with the way my head hurts, I just don't have the patience.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 Feb 09 :: 02:32

Entertainment Tonight was at the screening. But it seems like they were only interested in talking to Superman about Batman. That's what they showed in the preview anyway. We'll see if there's anymore to it.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 Feb 09 :: 02:37

Yeah, that figures. It got like 3 seconds of coverage and the only people they showed besides Superman were Selma Blair and Kristen Bell. Wow, one whole person who's actually IN the damn movie. LAME!!! :fedup:

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 Feb 09 :: 03:34

Teehee, MaraJade (Linda) just told me that when she was taking those pics of Chris last night, she told him they were going on our message board and he kind of chuckled.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 05 Feb 09 :: 04:55

Chris looks soo great in those photos! I kind of miss the face fuzz though.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 Feb 09 :: 05:01

Oh, you know it'll be back, Mel. And I've grown to love it too. He's never looked less than drool-worthy to me.

An article...

And a video...

Don't blame me if they suck. I haven't read the article yet and I probably won't be able to watch the video until I get home.

Has this been done yet? If not let me know and I'll be happy to do it.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Feb 09 :: 02:22

No, it hasn't. TeeJay's been out of pocket today.

larry-411 · 06 Feb 09 :: 02:52

Here ya go. I also brightened up the darker one a bit and sharpened the blurry one:

Finally got to watch the JoBlo interviews. So cute! All the boys. And yeah, Chris says that Charlie Banks is coming out in a couple of months.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Feb 09 :: 03:05

Thanks man!

I've been wanting to see the movie Education Of Charlie Banks ever since I heard about it. Is it going to theaters or straight to DVD?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Feb 09 :: 05:43

Me too, Mel. It looks wonderful. And it looks like another limited (token) release, then DVD. I bet we have it on our shelves by May.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Feb 09 :: 06:48

Chris likes Jean Claude Van Damme? I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Oh well, to each, his own. Nobody's perfect. And hey, I like Don "The Dragon" Wilson.

Another interview with the boys...

There is an interview about Fanboys on trekmovie.com with the director.

On Friday, after a long wait, the geeky comedy Fanboys finally hits theaters. The road trip film about Star Wars fans traveling across country to Skywalker Ranch also has some Star Trek elements, not the least of which is a cameo from William Shatner. So TrekMovie decided to check in with director Kyle Newman to find out why Trekkies should see Fanboys. We also have an exclusive image of the Trekkies in Fanboys.
Set in 1998, Fanboys tells the story of a group of Star Wars fans who travel across the country to break into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch and steal a copy of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace before its release. They are doing this to be the first 'fanboys' to see the film and because one of the friends is dying of cancer and wants to see it before he dies. During the road trip the gang have a number of encounters, including a couple of run-ins with Trekkies (featuring a fight scene complete with lirpas). The friends also eventually get some help from William Shatner, playing (of course) William Shatner.
The film's cast is mostly unknowns, but one of the core friends is played by Kristen Bell (aka Veronica Mars). There are also a number of big genre cameos including Bill Dee Williams, Carrie Fisher, Kevin Smith and the aforementioned William Shatner. Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Superbad) plays the leader of the Trekkies 'Admiral Seasholtz' who the Star Wars fanboys have to face down on their travels.
Fanboys Director talks Trek
Fanboys was directed by indie film maker Kyle Newman, who is clearly Star Wars fan. The film pokes some good matured fun as it shows the ongoing 'battle' of Star Wars fans and Star Trek fans, but according to the director, it is all from love. TrekMovie spoke briefly with Newman about the Star Trek that is inside Fanboys.
TrekMovie: Obviously you are a Star Wars fanboy, but are you also a Trekkie?
Kyle Newman: I am a Trekkie, or Trekkier. I've seen all of the films and am a huge fan of the Original and Next Generation series. I was even a member of Starfleet growing up and loved watching the Star Trek marathons on TV. I collect the old Gold Key comics too. And I am immensely excited for JJ Abrams' new Trek. The cast that he's assembled is incredible! Zachary Quinto is a friend and I am so excited that he is playing Spock!
TrekMovie: So why should Trekkies see Fanboys?
Kyle Newman: Trekkies should see Fanboys because there is more William Shatner in our film than the new Star Trek movie! The man's a legend and it was honor for him to grace our set. And Seth Rogen plays the world's biggest Trekker. You can't go wrong there. He's also a fellow Trekker in real life along with cast-mate Jay Baruchel. It's good clean sci-fi franchise banter!

I've removed the actual pics because I'm not sure if it's ok to post here or not.

So here is the link to 3 pics of Chris at the premiere.

Where are these pics from, Illinois? I'd love to put them in our gallery, but if they are from someone's private account somewhere, I'd rather ask before putting them there.

Illinoisguy1 · 06 Feb 09 :: 13:14

Its' from the link found on the starwarsblog I linked to.

Roughly near the bottom of the page, it has a link to the Flickr page.

"Check out all the photos here:
Fanboys Premiere - San Francisco (via Starwars.com Flickr Blog)"

I did note that the starwarsblog is copyrighted by Lucasfilm, but I don't see anything on Flickr that these are copyrighted by Lucasfilm.

Since they didn't appear on the starwarsblog itself, I would assume that these are fine to use under the "Fair Use" laws, but I would check that out carefully first.

Illinoisguy1 · 06 Feb 09 :: 14:02

ComingSoon.net got a chance to chat with Fogler, Huntington and Marquette about the film, their off-screen love of "Star Wars" and what it means to be a fanboy.

I'm sure it would have been okay to link them here on the message board, I just don't like posting someone's private pics in the gallery of our site without asking. I've now sent a message to these guys via their Flickr account, thanks for the link.

So, what's with the hat, Chris?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Feb 09 :: 16:24

OK, mostly unknowns? Don't like that at all. The link in post 2395 doesn't work. And can someone please just post the Chris pics here on the MB for cripes sake? I don't want to wade through pictures of Kristen Bell's ankles (WTF???) trying to find the one or two Chris pics.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Feb 09 :: 16:29

A good review...

I only skimmed it, but the rating is very high.
