Alpha Dog (STRONG LANGUAGE & ADULT CONTENT)

TeeJay · 16 Dec 06 :: 00:20

That's pretty funny! Freddie and I laughed about it when I read it to her.

Safely arrived in the UK, by the way. Will drool about Chris a little with Freddie later on. She indulges me, like best friends would.

Yeah, I mean how cool is it that Nick Cassavetes is teasing a couple of fangirls about drooling over shirtlessness? He is such a cool guy!!!

Have fun with Freddie!

Deb

domesticelefant · 16 Dec 06 :: 00:40

I bet he is.

And yeah, have a good time with Freddie.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Dec 06 :: 21:04

Per Nick, the LA premiere of the movie is January 3rd.

We should:
1) ask Tisha if Chris is going to attend.
2) watch Wire Image and stuff for pics!

Deb

domesticelefant · 19 Dec 06 :: 23:36

We definitely should do that, yeah.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Dec 06 :: 00:02

I asked Nick C. if he knows who'll be attending, but he hasn't answered yet. I'll let you know if he does.

Deb

domesticelefant · 20 Dec 06 :: 00:16

'key, thanks.

TeeJay · 20 Dec 06 :: 00:51

Well, Tisha seems to be MIA right now, but I don't blame her. Probably has better things to do than writing to a bunch of Dorquettes. Deb, if you wanna go ahead and ask, I'm all for it. (Just got home, everything's fine, I'll write more tomorrow.)

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Dec 06 :: 00:57

If you want an answer, the question should come from you. But I guess we could just wait and see. Whatever.

Deb

TeeJay · 20 Dec 06 :: 01:01

Why from me? Like, she's not gonna talk to you or something? I think you're just being paranoid. But I'd rather wait for her to send something about how her meeting with Chris was before we contact her again. Guess we'll just have to be a little more patient.

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Dec 06 :: 03:11

She didn't aswer my last two emails. That's a fact, not paranoia. So I guess we wait.

Deb

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Dec 06 :: 18:06

Nick C. posted today that he had a marketing meeting with Universal and they are expanding the release of AD from 1000 screens to 1500 screens. That's a HUGE opening for this kind of film. And reviews are starting to come out now. All mostly positive. Can't wait!

Deb

domesticelefant · 20 Dec 06 :: 18:07

That's cool news, thanks for sharing.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Dec 06 :: 23:59

HACKY SACK scene is up on Yahoo Movies! Go check it out:

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808718535/trailer

You'll see why I couldn't concentrate on the foreground in that scene.

Deb

domesticelefant · 21 Dec 06 :: 00:13

For those who don't want to check out all clips, the one with Chris is called "Under Control".

TeeJay · 21 Dec 06 :: 00:19

Hehe, hacky sack Keith is pretty funny, in a way. Although you don't really see much of him. The clips all seem pretty gritty. Can't wait to see the whole thing on the big screen.

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 21 Dec 06 :: 00:23

Yeah, it's pretty funny. I want more! LOL I so want to see the whole movie!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 21 Dec 06 :: 00:31

Yes, obviously it easier to see on the big screen. In fact, he's just incredibly distracting in that scene on the big screen. You know, unless you like that Justin guy or something.

The follwing was originally posted over the course of the day by Nick Cassavetes on the AD board at IMDb. This is what people are saying about Alpha Dog:

I put all the quotes into one post:

"This movie is on fire! A fiercely original shocker. 'Alpha Dog' is a riveting look at a lost generation, an unpredictable real-life account of a group of teens in freefall. A great young cast deliver performances that can only be described as explosive. Justin Timberlake is a complete revelation, creating a whole new career for himself as an actor. This edgy and startling film definitely starts the 2007 movie year off with a bang."
--Pete Hammond, MAXIM

=========================

(3 STARS) "Alpha Dog evolves into something serious and powerful. Anton Yelchin is superb... enormously compelling."
-- Jeff Craig, SIXTY SECOND PREVIEW

===================================

"Cassavetes is right on target with Alpha Dog... The film has so many things right about it - such as beautiful cinematography and a stand-out cast of up-and-comers like Shawn Hatosy, Anton Yelchin, and Justin Timberlake, whose sympathetic performance practically brings tears to our eyes..."
-- Claire Connors, BLACKBOOK

================================

"Originally conceived and powerful storytelling. A terrific ensemble cast. Stylishly gritty, raw and electrifying."
-- Prairie Miller, WBAI

===============================

"Intense and hip! Alpha Dog is a contemporary new school classic."
-- Shawn Edwards, WDAF-TV (FOX), Kansas City, MO

==================================

"Nick Cassavetes paints a shockingly realistic picture..."
-- GIANT MAGAZINE

==================================

"Like a young Scarface or Goodfellas"
--Fred Topel, CANMAG.COM

================================

And more comments:

Brooke Anderson -- CNN

What a very solid film, such a tragic story, so compelling and sad. Justin was amazing.

==========================

Robert Abele -- Freelance journalist

Liked the film very much. Incredibly intense and very well done. He said he was exhausted by all the unchecked hedonism but the gathering pace of the film was very palpable. Impressed by JT and said he sees him as a "real actor" now.

============================

Mike Waco -- Fox

A bit skeptical going in and didn't know what to expect, but was soooo pleasantly surprised. Film was great!

==============================

Megan O'Toole -- Late Late Show (Craig Ferguson)

Wow what an intense film. Amazing -- so well made and performances were excellent. Justin Timberlake was great and Ben Foster was brilliant.

================================

YASMIN RAMOS -- BET

Such a powerful film -- really enjoyed it. Who knew JT could act so well. He was so believable.

===========================

TOM ROSTON -- PREMIERE MAG

Really liked. Thought Ben Foster and Justin were standouts and thought that not only the story but the way Nick went about making the film was very intriguing.

==================================

DESIREE GALLAS -- MENS FITNESS

Liked although hard to watch. Exceptional acting. Was pleasantly surprised

================================

Nikia Dawkins -- Ent. Editor ZINK MAGAZINE

Very interesting and didn't look at my watch once -- who knew that Justin Timberlake could act -- great cast.

====================================

Julie Halpern -- VHI

Really enjoyed the film. It moved very nicely and the story was told well. It was fun to see JT acting. I had wanted to see the film for months and it did not disappoint.

=====================================

Alysson Prado -- GIANT

Really liked and was pleasantly surprised. JT was amazing. Didn't believe how talented he is. It was a very thought provoking film.

=====================================

MTV --

Really liked the film -- the cast was great -- very believable performances. Very impressed by Justin and there were breakthrough performances. Film will perform well.

================================

LA TIMES -- KINSEY LOWE

The film was amazing -- It left me sad and disillusioned in the end but thought it was well cast and well made.

================================

FADE IN

Justin, Emile and Ben performances were amazing. The group dynamics were very interesting. Thought casting and directions as a whole was terrific.

=======================================

G-4

Great film -- still talking about it -- Emile, Justin and Ben gave great performances

==========================================

I found it disturbing but it stayed with me. Emile and Ben were amazing.

I'm so happy for Nick that the movie seems to be received well. I can only say it again: It sounds like the kind of movie I would watch even if Chris wasn't in it. After seeing those clips on Yahoo Movies yesterday, I'm quite sure I'm gonna like it just as much as I thought I would.

Agreed.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 21 Dec 06 :: 23:14

Larry says that all the main cast is supposed to show up for the premiere. He also says he has a paid WireImage account and he will email me the large versions of any pics that feature Chris. Woohoo!

Deb

TeeJay · 21 Dec 06 :: 23:16

Hey, that's awesome!! I hope there's gonna be good ones. Can't wait! Three more weeks... Is the premiere in LA? And I can still see that daydream of ours: 300 screaming Justin fans and three excitedly bobbing Dorquettes, screaming Chris's name. LOL

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 21 Dec 06 :: 23:48

Woohoo @Larry and his paid wireimage account.
Tina, can I join your daydream? LOL

TheCentralScrutinizer · 22 Dec 06 :: 02:30

Yeah, the premiere is at that funky, round theatre in LA. I think it's called the Cinemadrome or something like that. It's pretty cool. I drove by there on one of my trips out there for the screenwriting expo.
