Aaron directed this one. It's just a short, and it may take us a while to see it. But those guys are so awesome together, I get excited when they do something.

awesome. keeping fingers crossed it makes it online to see

Marvalus · 08 Feb 12 :: 04:21

Exciting to have a new Chris/Aaron project to anticipate...it's gotta be good!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 08 Feb 12 :: 05:27

Oooh cant wait!

TeeJay · 08 Feb 12 :: 09:10

Great news!

CappuGirl · 09 Feb 12 :: 16:56

oh cool!

domesticelefant · 12 Feb 12 :: 18:10

"A while"? Really? Uh, okay. I'd actually be surprised if I get to see this AT ALL. *sigh*

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 18 Feb 12 :: 06:04

There needs to be a private screening for JOA fans like us!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Feb 12 :: 06:25

Man... I wish we could convince the boys of that!

CappuGirl · 18 Feb 12 :: 17:14

I spent an hour yesterday trying to find this online, but no luck. of course. someone should convince these boys to put up a Youtube account and post their shorts there. there are a lot of people making money out of the ad deals of youtube and making a name for themselves. *winkwink* just as Kaleb Nation, Dave Days, Smash! etc. or that eastern european chick that posts a reply video to every popular music video just so she gets people to think it's her singing the song and click it. all so that she could get ad money.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Feb 12 :: 19:08

It's probably not ready for release yet. And since their last couple of things did make it to YouTube, maybe this one will too.

I love that idea. LOL We should send them a list with the stuff we want to see that day. Maybe Aaron would even include that Fellowship thing for us.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 25 Feb 12 :: 21:11

He's got a name in this thing now, Sam.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 27 Feb 12 :: 05:48

I love that name!

Maria found the film online. It a little over 15 minutes long. Really terrific.

Thanks Maria!

EOcean214 · 01 May 13 :: 04:31

Thanks Maria and Deb, will watch it asap. It's a little late for me now. Very cool!

TeeJay · 01 May 13 :: 16:26

I thought it was kinda weird. I mean, I liked it, but it's not something I'd say is fantastic. (Maybe also to do with the fact that Chris plays kind of a dick.) I liked Thule much, much better.

I'm still trying to gather what the point of it was. Don't get paranoid about something until you've explored all the options and taken a good look?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 02 May 13 :: 01:18

I think the point of it was that the main guy, Robin was so wound up with worry all the time, he was letting life pass him by. With his dad having just died, he really needed to learn to snap out of it and try to enjoy living instead of being so scared of everything.

Also, it had the structure of a really good little short story with a cute little twist at the end. That's what I liked. I didn't care much for Chris's jerk character. But he did look awfully adorable when he snagged Robin's cap & glasses and put them on. I'd like to see screencaps of that part.

I noticed they dedicated the film to John Robinson's dad, who had recently passed away. So I suspect it was a very personal story for Aaron & John. My main complaint is that I wish Aaron had played Robin instead of Dov, just because I miss seeing Aaron onscreen.

I liked that Jon Foster had a hand in all of the music. And that Kris Lemche sang a song.

TeeJay · 04 May 13 :: 21:22

Screencaps are now online. See if you can spot a few Mr. Pointys in there.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 May 13 :: 04:21

Cool! Off to check 'em out. Been out all day. Dave and I saw Iron Man 3. When Dale Dickey showed up onscreen, I leaned over to Dave and said "I'm one degree from Iron Man, I've been in a room with her." LOL! She was in the play we saw Mike & Aaron in when the Dorquettes went to LA in 2008. And then I saw Miguel Ferrer onscreen and said, "And I've had a beer with him." That was at Dixie Trek in 1986.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 May 13 :: 04:30

Oh my...

domesticelefant · 05 May 13 :: 10:54

Let's see if I can watch this here. My dad's computer doesn't like videos very much.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 09 May 13 :: 03:32

I would love to go to screening except Im not near it1

TheCentralScrutinizer · 24 May 13 :: 05:37

I just got very turned on. Oh, and um, Pointy...
