Fanboys

I can't answer that one. I don't want those awards. A leetle too sily for my taste.

Glad you enjoyed it, Donna. Nice to see you.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 01 Jun 09 :: 21:39

I didn't know she was in it. What's her name?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 01 Jun 09 :: 21:57

Awwww, what a cute couple...

Hmmm. Well, either they cut her out or she was one in one of the crowd scenes or something because I don't remember seeing her. Anyone else...?

Hey Deb, thanks for posting that pic. This past weekend, the 501st suited up to help a local library kick off their Summer Reading Program, and there were 80+ kids alone(Not including parents) that showed up. We took pictures and even signed autographs for the kids..even Jacen(who's 6 yrs old) was dishing out his sig. It was a blast!
I'm up waaay past my bedtime..but I can breakdown which scenes I was in tomorrow. Deb's right about the theater scene...in fact, over half of the people in that scene are from our local Star Wars clubs, or were friends of friends....My nephew is seen sitting right next to me inside the theater when we all start cheering...I was really happy that he made it in the film...even if for only a couple of seconds.
Also, I just wanted to mention, that when Hutch begins walking past the theater line, you can see a man dressed up in a Han Solo costume who is fighting with a lightsaber..His name was Greg Moss and passed away a few months after filming had wrapped..He was a great friend to us in the fanforce & 501st and it's cool to see him in the film as well.
I'm trying to remember where Rachel was in the film and I'm drawing a blank. She was constantly on set with Sam during the filming of the movie, plus we hung out with her on several occasions(She is incredibly sweet by the way) --Guess I'll have to go back and watch it again!!

TeeJay · 02 Jun 09 :: 09:45

Haha, great story(ies), Sean. I haven't seen the movie a second time yet, but seeing how I missed it by two days when I flew out to Kopenhagen (it stopped showing there last week), I now have a perfectly good reason to watch the DVD again. If I spot Rachel, I'll let you guys know.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 02 Jun 09 :: 15:26

Yeah, that's cool stuff, Sean.

deedee · 03 Jun 09 :: 06:57

GIRLS!! I bought fanboys today! It came with suposidly a limited release sleeve:D only at hmv which is a music/dvd store. Oh my gosh.. *gush* i feel like I have just.. im speechless. I feel like fanboys was my episode 1. I almost cried when I finally got it.. I didnt end up cheating as i said i would.. and wow.. just wow

TeeJay · 03 Jun 09 :: 09:33

So glad you got it, Doree! What does the sleeve look like? Is it the same as the DVD cover, only with metallic looking colors? Deb, did yours have a sleeve?

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 03 Jun 09 :: 15:14

Yeah, mine had a sleeve. Not that I care one whit about that. I stuck it away in a folder of other various stuff. And then fixed my cover on the plastic box. Doree probably doesn't know anything about my extreme frustration over that cover.

deedee · 03 Jun 09 :: 15:28

mine is like a picture of .. well its like the cover from 40 year old virign but he has a helmet on:P

TheCentralScrutinizer · 03 Jun 09 :: 15:55

Are you kidding??? Is that the slip cover or the box art, or both?

deedee · 03 Jun 09 :: 17:30

its the slip cover on the box and the back is all shiny and stuff

TheCentralScrutinizer · 03 Jun 09 :: 17:38

The art on our DVD is totally different than that.

deedee · 03 Jun 09 :: 18:38

woah what is yours? The slip is that then the front cover is all of them in the star wars pose.. they are all dressed differently like theres the skipmy costume and stuff and then chris is actually in a chewbacka head

TheCentralScrutinizer · 03 Jun 09 :: 18:46

That's the one. I HATE that they covered Chris's face on the DVD. It's an insult to him and to us. So TeeJay "fixed" that cover.

TeeJay · 03 Jun 09 :: 19:11

My slip cover looks like the white cover with the guys and planets as posted above (only Chris wears the silly Chewie mask). Some of the print is metallic on the slip cover. If you got the red 40-year-old Star Wars fan cover, Doree, it indeed appears that you got a special edition. Great, we basically tore one of our legs out to save this movie, and we don't even get any of the special stuff.

Simon · 03 Jun 09 :: 19:18

I absoulately love the cover that TeeJay made. I would prefer it to what i currently have, but the only problem for me, is that i don't have the quality paper. On mine, it would look like a photocopy.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 03 Jun 09 :: 19:20

I don't consider a slip cover with the 40-Year-Old Star Wars Fan art to be all that special. Doesn't hurt my feelings that they didn't use it on the US DVD.

TeeJay · 03 Jun 09 :: 20:18

But at least it's not the cover with the Wookiee Chris that you can't fix properly because it's printed in metallic. I would have liked it better if the slip cover didn't look the same as the inside cover. What's the point of them looking the same??

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 03 Jun 09 :: 20:21

What's the point of a slip cover to begin with?

TeeJay · 03 Jun 09 :: 20:47

That it looks nice when it's well done? That it makes the DVD stand out? I don't know. I thought it looked kinda classy, apart from the fact that Chris's head is covered by the mask.

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 03 Jun 09 :: 20:55

I'd prefer more extras on the DVD itself --- or maybe some damn marketing --- to a silly, impractical slip cover that I'm just going to discard anyway.

TeeJay · 03 Jun 09 :: 21:00

If it's more extras vs. slip cover, then I'll take the extras any day.

Oh, and btw, I wrote to my OV theater in Cologne. They said they're not gonna show Fanboys. A small miracle would have to happen for it to show in Düsseldorf or anywhere else in the area. So there goes my last chance to see it in theaters again. Unless it comes to the UK and I fly out to visit Freddie at that time, but that's unlikely too, especially since I have the DVD now. Shame, I really would have liked to see it on the big screen again with good quality sound (which we didn't really have in LA). Oh well, I guess you can't have everything.

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 03 Jun 09 :: 21:39

Yeah, I think you're gonna have to let go of that dream and just watch the DVD.

TeeJay · 03 Jun 09 :: 21:52

Yeah, story of my life...
