Fanboys

TeeJay · 27 Jul 07 :: 18:41

I personally wish they'd done something funky with the Abbey Road pictures.

domesticelefant · 27 Jul 07 :: 18:43

Yeah, that would make a cool poster, I guess!

TeeJay · 27 Jul 07 :: 18:45

Kristen was actually at the con too, btw.

Oh, was that her blonde head I saw in the panel? I wonder why she didn't go get interviewed by the bimbo...

Mutant_Enemy_Girl · 27 Jul 07 :: 19:02

I actually like the poster.

Chnyst · 27 Jul 07 :: 21:50

At C4, they said that the lightsaber poster was just the 'Teaser', so hopefully we'll see the official one as the release date draws closer. I guess I don't mind the teaser poster(As long as we get an official one!) since it is paying homage to the old Return of the Jedi poster:

TeeJay · 27 Jul 07 :: 21:57

Ah, okay, that makes more sense now. Thanks for explaining. Us mere citizens wouldn't know about that original poster. Sorry. I bow in your humble presence. :grovel:

Chnyst · 27 Jul 07 :: 21:59

LOL.
Glad I could help! We've got geekiness covered from all angles here!

TeeJay · 27 Jul 07 :: 22:00

So, Sean, what do we need to do in terms of preparations to fully appreciate Fanboys, come January (or whenever)?

-TeeJay

Chnyst · 27 Jul 07 :: 22:23

Hmmm....
I think you guys touched upon it earlier. Watching the movies again would be the best way to prepare. In fact, I think I will make this mandatory .
They crack a few jokes about Episode One in Fanboys,(At Jar Jar's expense) but since the prequels hadn't been released at the time, you really only need to watch what we call the "OT"(Original Trilogy: Episodes IV-VI).
Which shouldn't really be punishment for anyone , even if you aren't a Star Wars fan. But you guys already know all that.
Once you have the OT fresh in your heads, you'll recognize a lot more of the quotes in Fanboys that are pulled directly from the movies, plus there's the cameos and sound effects thrown in too.
I'll be keeping track of who's seen what too! Lol

TeeJay · 27 Jul 07 :: 22:28

LOL! You're on, Sean. I have the originally, untouched OT movies here too. Not the retouched new age versions, it's the real deal. I'll be watching those before I go see Fanboys. I think I have the other three movies as well, but I'm not really sure. Episode I for sure, but I don't know about II and III. But I know where I can get them, should I feel the urge to rewatch them.

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 27 Jul 07 :: 22:30

How am I supposed to do that, I don't have the movies and I doubt I'll get the jokes when I watch it only in English.

Chnyst · 27 Jul 07 :: 22:34

We'll find a way to make it work !

Mutant_Enemy_Girl · 28 Jul 07 :: 05:33

I'll be splurging at the video rental store when Fanboys is about to be released. Maybe the weekend before. So I'll be able to have the SW films fresh in mind. I swear, I'm training myself for Fanboys.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Jul 07 :: 05:39

Another fun thing to do is watch all the SW tribute shows that they've been running this year. They're fun and they give you an overview of the whole universe.

Also, I highly recommend the Robot Chicken Star Wars episode. It's both funny and informative.

Mutant_Enemy_Girl · 28 Jul 07 :: 06:57

I've noticed the History channel giving a show about Star Wars, so I'm thinking the next time it's on I'll watch it. I'll watch Robot Chicken sometimes, but I haven't seen that clip. I'll try Youtube.

It's a shame what I'll do to watch a movie and be able to enjoy it to the ultimate maximum.
Like, the movie Bully, I bought the book and movie the same night and read the book first then watched the movie so I could get the characters and back stories more. The fact that it's based on a real crime just makes it so jolting. Sad movie.

When's the next time you'll probably meet Chris, do you know?

Yea, you're right -the History Channel had some really cool ones on. Oh and I absolutely love the Robot Chicken tribute to SW. There's gonna be a Family Guy tribute too.

Also not possible to watch for me.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Jul 07 :: 20:16

Mutant, the Robot Chicken thing is not a clip. It's a whole 30-minute episode. On the Robot Chicken scale, it's an EPIC.

As to when we'll meet Chris again, we don't know for certain, but we are hoping that he's coming to Dragon Con in Atlanta with the Fanboys gang on Labor Day weekend. As soon as we know if it's happening, we will let you guys know.

And I'm a sucker for absorbing everything about movies I love too. I'll be picking up Mehas's book Stolen Boy as soon as I can either get it from the library or afford to buy it. I can't get enough Alpha Dog somehow.

Mutant_Enemy_Girl · 29 Jul 07 :: 07:43

Yeah, I'll probably end up reading it as well.

A 30 minute Robot Chicken? I thought they were only 15 minutes long, it must be epic.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Jul 07 :: 07:51

Of course it's an epic, it was made by geeks to celebrate 30 years of Star Wars. You would expect something less?

Mutant_Enemy_Girl · 29 Jul 07 :: 08:34

I guess not. I think Star Wars geek and television show, i always think of Topher Grace as Eric Forman in That 70's Show. "They're not dolls, they're action figures."

Chris on left holding a Tusken Raider head

Sorry if already posted.

TeeJay · 29 Jul 07 :: 23:22

Thanks! The direct image links don't work, but you can see them when you go to that page you linked. (Illinois linked the Fanboys group shot and the teaser poster.)

The funniest thing about this is that the image with Chris holding the head originally came from me. I made that collage a long time ago from a picture we clandestinely got our hands on and put the Fanboys writing with the yellow border in there. Somehow, even though I don't recall posting it officially, someone got his/her hands on it and reposted it at IMDb. Ever since then it's been all over the internet. Now I kinda wish I had put a little signature in there.

Chris is on the right, though. On the left it's Jay Baruchel.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Jul 07 :: 23:25

Illinois, you're so cute. Did you think you really needed to point out to us which person in the cast is Chris?
