What's this about?

TeeJay · 17 Mar 08 :: 16:16

Apparently Mike said somewhere that he was trying to pack everything for the trip to the movie's location but couldn't find any socks. That's what it says in the article that I linked to.

Now on to something fun, frivolous, and…well…just plain goofy. In our recent interview with Mike Welch, the actor who will be playing Mike Newton in Twilight, he mentions packing and not being able to find any socks. Now, for those of you who read the interview, pretty much one of the first things you notice is the off-beat sense of humor Mike has. So, we had an idea. Why not have the fans send him socks so he's never without?
So, if you would like to participate, drop Mike a note and pair of socks. You can order socks through our Amazon shop. Here, here, and here are just a few samples.(OK, things I never anticipated, I've been asked his sock size. YIKES! I have no idea. He's 5′10" so I'm thinking he probably doesn't have small feet.)

Too funny! No, he probably does NOT have small feet.

magicalturkey · 17 Mar 08 :: 16:50

And you know what the say about guys with big feet. Large... shoes.

Yelchin is Reese in New Terminator
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
March 19, 2008

Anton Yelchin (upcoming Star Trek, Charlie Bartlett) is in negotiations to star as post-apocalyptic warrior Kyle Reese in director McG's new Terminator movie, says The Hollywood Reporter.

With production scheduled to start in early May, Paul Haggis also has been in talks about coming on board to work on the script.

Yelchin will play a teen version of Reese, the man who fathered world savior John Connor in the original "Terminator" film.

Christian Bale will play John Connor in the film, produced by the Halcyon Co. and set for a Warner Bros. release on May 22, 2009.

Reese, one of the children who survived a machine-driven nuclear holocaust, befriends Marcus (Sam Worthington), an early edition of the Terminator cyborg played in previous films by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In McG's film, the character is a young version of the one played by Michael Biehn, who traveled back in time in the original to impregnate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and father the world's future savior.

The film picks up with their son (Bale), now in his 30s, fighting desperately to save a decimated civilization against machines that have taken control.

Halcyon's Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson are producing with Moritz Borman. David Campbell Wilson, John Brancato and Michael Ferris wrote the screenplay. Principal photography is set to begin in early May.

Cool! I was already interested because of Bale. Now I really interested! Thanks for posting, Illinois. Hey did you get my email yesterday?

Illinoisguy1 · 19 Mar 08 :: 17:33

Just read the email, cool.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Mar 08 :: 17:47

It may be a little longer than I thought till it's public. It's not actually starting for about 3 weeks. We'll post details as soon as we can.

Here's a picture of Michael Welch (I think) on the set of Twilight, in the brown/tan jacket

And he's totally dissing that girl with the triple high five. Not cool, Mike!

LOL! You're right. Bad, Mike, VERY bad.

Unless they changed the scene from a leaked clip I saw a few weeks ago, this might be what they're saying

"Awesome, man, we jumped over a truck! High five!"
"Hey, I jumped over the truck too!"
"No, you jumped over the tire"

domesticelefant · 20 Mar 08 :: 19:57

Uhm. I can only see a pic that says "This image has been hotlinked ... blah blah blah." I guess that's not the real pic?

magicalturkey · 20 Mar 08 :: 20:04

The site must have put up hotlink protection this morning. I fixed it.

domesticelefant · 20 Mar 08 :: 20:06

Cool, thanks.

Brooke Nevin, Chris's Infestation co-star/love interest, who some of us might get to meet in September, is on Eli Stone tonight.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Mar 08 :: 04:27

LOL! OMG! Eli just called his boss a fanboy! He was so stuffily, hilariously appalled. Hearing him repeat it was priceless.

I saw Amber's movie The Russel Girl yesterday. It was great! Very sad, but very good performances, especially by Amber and that woman who played the blond woman (can't remember her name right now).

I still haven't seen The Russell Girl. It sounds like a great movie! I love Amber!!!

TeeJay · 29 Mar 08 :: 12:49

I liked The Russell Girl too. Not the best movie ever (very predictable), but Amber's performance was wonderful. For that alone it's worth watching. (Thanks again, Carol!)

domesticelefant · 29 Mar 08 :: 17:46

Yes, it is pretty predictable, but to me the performances count.

TeeJay · 29 Mar 08 :: 20:46

Anyone gonna watch Speed Racer? I just looked at two HD trailers on apple.com. Looks like a fun ride (literally). And it's got this very shiny, comicy look that I don't think I've seen before anywhere else. I might just go and see it, even though I'm not overly fond of Emile. But Matthew Fox is in it too, so...

The one that also looked interesting is "The Life Before Her Eyes". But that's a whole other genre. Heavy drama stuff. And Ellen Page's new movie, "The Tracey Fragments" looks weird but interesting.

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Mar 08 :: 22:21

Dave and I will see Speed Racer, I'm sure.

Here's some interesting Chris Connections...

I just saw Stop Loss. Good movie, not spectacular, but thought-provoking and well done. Made me cry once. Anyway...

Channing Tatum is in it. He and Chris were both cast in Oliver Stone's ill-fated Pinkville.
Alex Frost was in it. He took over the lead role in Calvin Marshall when Chris dropped out.
And Ciaran Hinds is in it. He and Chris will be working together soon in a project we hope to be able to tell you all about within the next few days.

The most striking thing about the movie are the battle scenes. I've never heard more realistic gunfire and explosions in my entire movie-going life. The sound design and sound editing are Oscar-worthy.

Illinoisguy1 · 29 Mar 08 :: 22:48

Stop Loss is already on my dvd wishlist. Looks like a real good movie.

What's really sad is that it looks like it'll bomb at the box office. Looks like 21 and Superhero movie will make much more.

Speed Racer looks pretty close to the 1967 cartoon. I am so glad that they didn't change the Mach 5. Looking forward to the dvd of that.

I have already bought 2 Speed Racer toys.

Yeah, I don't think it'll make much money either, Illinois. Only about 10 people in the audience. But there was nobody in SuperCrapFest Movie either. I don't think SL will crack $5 Million, but I don't think SM will crack $10 million. Maybe, maybe $14. It just looks so tired. I think people are sick of that junk.
