Re: Miscellaneous Stuff

It's just the same as some Star Trek fans not liking the label "Trekkie" and insist on being called "Trekkers". I personally really don't mind and don't take offense being called a Trekkie. I can't speak for the Twilight fans, I haven't read the books and don't know much about it. Laura, any thoughts? Do you consider yourself a twi-hard? And do you mind being called one?

I know that we pretty much picked our own name when we started calling ourselves Dorquettes. Is there anyone around here who doesn't actually like that name or being called that?

Re: Miscellaneous Stuff

I'm no where near as crazy as some Twilight fans.  I'm just a regular fan of the book, so I don't consider myself a twi-hard.   I'm not saying they're obsessed... but they're kinda like how I am/we are with Joan of Arcadia and Chris.  Ok, maybe they're a little obsessed :embarrassed:.

Twi-hards are the ones insisting that there's no way Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson can become the characters Stephenie Meyers imagined them to be.   Even though Stephenie didn't personally cast them, she did watch screen tests and said that they're exactly what Edward and Bella should be.  But she might have to say that, and she actually hates them.   Twi-hards are the people sending Stephenie messages saying she has to pull this project because the movie and the actors will kill her book.

So, yeah... I'd consider them twi-hards.  I think we all prefer to be called Twilighters.

And I love being a Dorquette.

That's ludicrous.  The movie can't kill the book.  The book will always be... the book.  I know these people are very young and have their minds set on things being a certain way, but for cripes sake if Anne Rice can get over Tom Cruise playing Lestat...  roll

And as for Chris's advice to Mike, well there he goes being all thoughtful and deep again.  Sigh.  smile

Re: Miscellaneous Stuff

I meant to mention this earlier, but forgot. I recently read an article where Chris was mentioned (can't quite remember what it was about, but there was nothing posting worthy in it), and sometimes when they mention an actor's name, they put in brackets what he was in, so that people might recognize him more easily, right? And for Chris there was, I think GND and JoA and then... Sugar Mountain. Uh.... Hello? Short film, never released, only shown at one film festival (or so). No one bloody knows it! Looked like someone didn't do their research...

I just thought it was weird.

Re: Miscellaneous Stuff

I saw that too.  I think it was in one of the articles about the Fanboys stuff.  They just grabbed his credit from someplace else.  They probably never even heard of him.

Re: Miscellaneous Stuff

Hey Carol, I just ran across this interview for The Invisible again and check this out...

Q: What is the pendant you are wearing?

Chris: Oh, it's an old 18th Century family crest, not my family, but there's a little lion and an antelope and the lion's for hope and courage and the antelope is for stability.

Re: Miscellaneous Stuff

I can see him wandering into some funky shop in Regina and seeing it.

Chris: "Hey, that's a cool pendant.  Can I see it?"

The clerk takes it out and gives it to him.  He puts it on and looks in the mirror.

Chris: "Yeah, I like it.  It's cool.  What is it?"

Clerk:  "It's the Coat Of Arms for Saskatchewan.  The lion is for hope and courage and the antelope is for stability."

Chris: "I'll take it.  I need something pleasant to take home with me from this place where I almost freeze my nads off every single day."

Re: Miscellaneous Stuff

It's impressive to be 2nd ahead of wikipedia though, imdb is almost always first for actor/actresses I think. But the wiki entry is usually 2nd, and this site beats that.

Re: Miscellaneous Stuff

Thanks, Susanna.  Hey TeeJay, can you make us a close-up crop of just the pendant from the red-shirt headshot so we can see it along with the coat of arms that Carol posted?  You can edit it into my post if you want.  I don't have the super-high-res pics here at work or I'd do it myself.
