Hi guys. Thank you, TeeJay, for helping me get back online. I just got back from Pittsburgh, where we screened the film for local cast and crew. The evening was such a blast, and it was great for me to reunite with so many of the friends I made on set.

As for the quantity of blood on the door, here is the short answer: I wanted more blood splattering off Carl's shoulder and, in hindsight, there's a little too much blood on the window. The bullet went through Carl's shoulder into the vestibule just next to the door, but you never see that on film.

TeeJay · 22 May 08 :: 00:14

Thanks for clearing that up, Mike. I have more questions:

1) What does Polly say at the beginning when they're talking about fungi? She says something about that without fungi we wouldn't have ... What?

2) Whose idea was the lovely booty pan over Marquette's body in the "Carl needs sleep" scene? (You made us VERY happy!)

3) There was a question about why Jackson is studying the blueprints in his underpants. (It's not like we didn't appreciate Lowell's lovely abs. And that's all I'm gonna say on the topic.)

4) What was that little air kiss about? You know, when the guys walk in the school hallway and Carl does his little pretend-kiss on Jackson.

5) Was Carl's tattoo on his hand a scorpion or a spider or something entirely different?

6) Why does Carl have his initials tattooed on his inner arm?

Okay, I'm gonna stop now, though I'm sure there's more. And of course stories about Chris (the Marquette kind) are always welcome, especially the embarrassing ones.

I can answer a couple.

1) without fungi we wouldn't have penicillin

4) Polly and Chuancy just kissed, so Carl was making fun of them (I think)

TeeJay · 22 May 08 :: 00:33

1) Okay, that makes sense. For the life of me, I just couldn't understand what she was saying.

4) Gee, see? All I was paying attention to was The Chris & Chris show. LOL My mind is so corrupted. I'll have to watch the scene again.

Mike, if you read this, I'd love to hear about you casting Chris for the movie. When did you know he was the right man to embody Carl?

Great questions, TJ. I love them!! ( ;

Yeah, we're definitely not arguing with Tighty-Whitey Lowell, but why was he in his undies?

Donna · 22 May 08 :: 17:55

Thanks for posting Mike. Also, Thanks so much for making this awesome movie for us. We all really appreciate it.

I went to the video store yesterday and amongst the rows and rows of dumb movies (there is seriously nothing good out at the moment) I spotted this in the new release section. I must say it was actually quite a good movie, I don't mean to act so surprised but I was, naturally, renting it on the merit of having Chris in it and not anything else, and last time that happened I picked up The Invisible, which I kind of thought was a bit on the crappy side for a movie.

Lots of very nice cute Chris in it. Also, Jackson was a very nice unexpected bonus in that department. I liked that they got away with it, especially since the beginning made it seem like that was a very very slim to none chance. I liked that Jackson went on to become a bank robber, very cool little ending for that character, a little unconvential for a movie ending, which was only a good thing. Chauncy was a bit of a dick, but I suppose he was meant to be so we would root for Polly/Jackson. Although, again, it's cool that they did kind of all go their own way and not try for a cheesy tie up.

All in all, I did really enjoy the movie, more than I had anticipated.

Did you love Carl and Suzy? Were they not so cute together? I wrote a naughty little fic about their night together. It's in the fanfic thread, if you're inclined to want to check it out. I want to write more about those characters. I love them.

Did you see our adorable Carl booty cap?

Yeah. Carl & Suzy were very cute. It was nice to see Chris have a good romantic storyline through the movie, it made for lots of cute Chris moments, too many to list really, and with his mother being the one that's sick, it was nice that he wasn't moping around the whole movie because of it, but had the Suzy crush/relationship thing going on too. I liked Suzy, her jumping off the bridge thing was especially cool, and I liked Carl's protective stand in front of her when Chauncey's got the gun.

Did you see our adorable Carl booty cap?

No...not as of yet. But I am off to the gallery (presuming that is where it's housed) to seek that out now, then.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 16 Jan 09 :: 05:12

Should be on page one of this thread I think... All my fave pics are in the threads about the movie.

Susanna · 16 Jan 09 :: 05:16

Nice...nice. I did quite like that little scene in the movie.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 16 Jan 09 :: 05:37

Yeah, I drooled over a BUNCH of pics in this thread. It's pretty funny. Scroll through it to see the best stuff condensed. Much easier than the gallery.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 16 Jan 09 :: 06:25

That's good to hear you like Graduation, Susanna. I love it! I think it's one of Chris's best performances and one of the best movies ever!!

Simon · 16 Jan 09 :: 17:35

What a lovely view of Chris.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 16 Jan 09 :: 17:43

Hey, he used to have zero booty, but then it began to grow. We even have a comparison collage somewhere. I'll see if I can find it...

Simon · 17 Jan 09 :: 01:39

but then it began to grow.

Best thing i heard today.

A comparison collage? Why I am not surprised that's something you guys would have.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 17 Jan 09 :: 02:33

OK, I can't find the damn collage. Of course. I can never find anything when I want it.

But here's the GIF TeeJay made when we were joking about his total lack of booty in AD...

And the pic we found amongst the thousands of Fanboys images we have where we noticed that all of a sudden he grew a very nice booty...

I always say it's the Cuban genes finally kicking in.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 17 Jan 09 :: 09:57

Chris has such a cute but!

Maybe that's because we don't have one? I don't recall making one, that is. What pics did we use for it, maybe that'll jog my memory. Did you have the picture collage in mind that Anne did a long time ago? I don't think that was focussed on his booty.

Simon · 17 Jan 09 :: 12:38

Terrible. The things you guys notice.

No, it wasn't focussed on his booty. It was a wallpaper I wanted to show the variety of his talent with and I think that is the reason why the AD pic belongs there, too, if there is a booty or not.

TeeJay · 17 Jan 09 :: 13:41

Do we still have it posted somewhere?

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 17 Jan 09 :: 20:03

I thought you did a side by side comparison using the two pics I posted above, but maybe not.
