I'll go with Plastic Dork, then.

Chnyst · 21 Mar 07 :: 20:56

That works!!

TeeJay · 21 Mar 07 :: 20:58

Should we make that your rank name for the message board? We've been meaning to ask you if you wanted a special name anyway, seeing how you're one of the old school around here. It'd be kinda like an honorary Oscar or something.

-TeeJay

Chnyst · 21 Mar 07 :: 21:00

I'd be honored.
Dork in Plastic...Plastic Dork...surprise me!

Chnyst · 21 Mar 07 :: 21:03

Oh, and here's another pic I came across(Yes, slow day at work).

I thought it was cool. Kristen's sporting one of the bumper stickers on her caboose.

LOL! Hey, I've got two more bumper stickers too. Guess I should start wearing mine like that as well.

How about the new rank name, Sean?

Chnyst · 21 Mar 07 :: 21:06

I love it! Thumbs up.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 21 Mar 07 :: 21:18

That's too funny!

domesticelefant · 21 Mar 07 :: 21:40

Yeah, very funny.

domesticelefant · 01 Apr 07 :: 15:00

I know that this is not exactly the right place to post this here, and I am also pretty sure that he's never going to read it anyway, but ...

Happy Birthday, Sam Huntington!

Found this on scifi.com:

Lucas Gives Fanboys F/X Help

Chris Marquette, who co-stars in the upcoming Star Wars-themed comedy Fanboys, told SCI FI Wire that the movie has been delayed to add a cameo with Kevin Smith and sound effects from the Star Wars films, which were authorized by George Lucas himself after he saw an early cut and approved. The homage to Star Wars fans now has an Aug. 17 release date.

"They showed it to so many people involved in Star Wars that we've gone back several times with additional scenes," Marquette said in an interview while promoting his latest film, The Invisible. "Like, Kevin Smith had seen it, and [he] came in and was like, 'Oh, man. I love it.' So they let him write and direct one of his own scenes in it. So they added that in." Smith is a well-known fan of Star Wars, having included allusions to the franchise in his films for years.

As for Star Wars creator Lucas, Marquette said that the post-production process was extended to incorporate new sound and special effects with the blessing of Lucas himself. (Principal photography was completed last year.) "George Lucas saw it and loved it and gave us all the sound effects for the original Star Wars movie," Marquette said. "So they went back in and put in all these sound effects and everything and some cool special effects. It's like everybody's that seen it that's sort of loved it has attached themselves in a way to make the movie better."

In Fanboys, Marquette plays one of four guys who drive cross-country to Lucas' Skywalker Ranch to fulfill a friend's dying wish to see an advance screening of Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace. "It's cool," Marquette said. "It's like a wacky comedy that's got a really nice undertone of, like, friendship. It's like a road-trip movie. It's really nice, though. It was me, and they hired three other guys who are just insanely talented and really funny. So they just let us [have] sort of like a free-for-all improv, in a way."

So, Chris has indeed been giving interviews for The Invisible. Now we just gotta find them. Guys, can you help? Deb is away on business until Saturday, and I myself am incredibly busy this and next week, both at work and in my private life. I won't have time to properly look either. Damn! Bad timing, I guess.

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Apr 07 :: 01:06

Nice find! Actually, I'm away till SUNDAY. Right now I'm in my boss's hotel room on her laptop while she and my co-worker take a walk. This 30 minutes or so may be all the internet time I get. Maybe once a night. I don't think I can do anything till I get home.

Deb

TeeJay · 20 Apr 07 :: 07:33

I didn't mean to ask you to look for anything, Deb. I know you don't have time. Anne, you've got that Arbeitsamt training course going on right now, don't you? So no time either, I guess. Brenna, can you help? Looks like all of us are just as busy and not at home as Chris right now. I don't really think I'll have time for anything website-related until middle of May. Well, anything big that goes beyond the occasional post on the message board or fixing a mistake on a page or something.

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 20 Apr 07 :: 08:03

Yeah, I'm still at that training class, and I don't have access to computers everyday.
Also, this weekend my parents celebrate their 125. birthday (that's kind of a joke because my mom was 60 in December and my dad's 65 since yesterday), so I guess I won't have much time. But I'll look out for it as soon as I can. You see, today I have access to computers, so maybe I can google a little bit.

TeeJay · 20 Apr 07 :: 08:41

I don't think Google or the other search engines are gonna help much. The best approach is probably to go to movie websites and look there. MTV.com might be worth a try. I already looked at comingsoon.net, movieweb.com and scifi.com. And I looked on eonline.com. Maybe you can find a few others. Don't ask me for URLs, I don't know any others, you're on your own.

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 20 Apr 07 :: 08:57

Well, I can't reach MTV.com from here, all I get is a black blank page. So I guess I have to give Google a try.

OhGnarly · 20 Apr 07 :: 20:03

Yeah I could definitely help. All I have going on right now is preparation for final exams, and that's not taking up all of my time. We've got visitors today, but tonight I'll do some searching for you guys

TeeJay · 21 Apr 07 :: 09:15

Oh, that would be fantastic, Brenna, thanks. But don't sweat it. Some of that stuff might not appear online before next week anyway.

I stumbled across an old-ish interview with Sam Huntington, he talks a little about Fanboys as well:

http://www.supermanhomepage.com/movies/ … pic=pj-sam

Here's a few relevant snippets:

Press: And then after you're done with Superman you go and shoot Fanboys in New Mexico. It's about Star Wars, which you're also a fan of, right?

Sam: Yeah, I mean, absolutely! I think everybody's a fan of Star Wars... aren't they?

Press: Not the prequels! (laughter)

Sam: Well there you go.

Press: The original Star Wars or the new three?

Sam: There's a definite lineation there!

Press: What is Fanboys about?

Sam: It's about four Star Wars fans in 1998 who go on a pilgrimage to steal The Phantom Menace.

Press: Who's in that with you?

Sam: Kristen Bell, Jay Baruchel, Dan Fogler, who just won a Tony last year, and Chris Marquette are our crew, and I honestly think the world of them.

Press: Are you the biggest Star Wars fan of that group?

Sam: Dan Fogler was a huge fan, Kyle Newman's ridiculous. He, the director, was just an unbelievably fanboy. Like, ridiculous fanboy. And actually, that was really nice to have him because he was able to feed us what we needed at the right time. Look, I love movies and I love certain genre movies and what have you, but by no means am I going to wait in line for a week, you know what I mean?

Press: Unless it's for Superman Returns.

Sam: Yeah yeah yeah! (Sam grabs one of the mics on the table and speaks in a squeaky voice) Line up for Superman!

Press: (laughter) Are you a fanboy in the real sense of the word? Do you get your comics every Wednesday?

Sam: I don't. I don't do comic book-Wednesday. I think it's kind of neat that all the players in this film, everyone, kind of calls different pieces of the Superman legacy. The comic books, the TV series, the movies, the cartoons, you name it. I'm partial to the Christopher Reeve films just because that's what I grew up with.

[...]

Press: What are you working on next?

Sam: I don't know yet.

Press: Is there any possible chance you might be doing Revenge of the Nerds with Kyle?

Sam: No comment. I mean, I honestly don't know. I would love to work with Kyle again. Honestly it would be hard for me. I feel like I just did a nerd movie, kind of.

Press: You played a nerd character.

Sam: Well no, not Superman. Fanboys.

Press: Were you really nerdy in that?

Sam: No, I was the straight man in that film which is kind of interesting for me. That was kind of fun and new for me, to kind of play that role. Honestly it depends, I haven't read the script yet, I don't think it's ready yet. I would love to work with Kyle again, but it's kind of going to depend on what happens. There is no talk. There's no negotiations there.

Press: Have you seen the final cut of Fanboys?

Sam: I've seen little pieces of it.

Press: It's not a Clerks movie. It's a very emotional movie.

Sam: Extremely. It's got a wonderful heart, a real emotional core. And it's unexpected. Just like Superman, it's unexpected to have this kind of emotional core in a film like that.

Press: Is it going to a festival?

Sam: Yeah, it's Weinsteins, so it's going to be distributed, hopefully very wide. They've got big, big plans for it, I think, so we'll see.

Cool.

Chnyst · 21 Apr 07 :: 21:15

Cool, thanks for posting that!

Chnyst · 26 Apr 07 :: 19:22

Yay! They finally, officially announced it.

http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/stor … 105323.asp

You know I'm gonna be there and will take as many pics as I can! :dancing:

domesticelefant · 26 Apr 07 :: 19:30

Wow, that's SO COOL!
I'm so happy for you right now! I hope you'll have a lot of fun and I'm already looking forward to the pics!

Chnyst · 26 Apr 07 :: 19:31

Thanks Anne!:D

That prequel comic sounds really cool as well. Hopefully I can grab a few if permitted.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 26 Apr 07 :: 19:47

Yeah, Sean, you have to get us some copies of the comic. Just tell Kyle they're for us, I'm sure he'll be OK with it.
