Joan Of Arcadia - Chris Marquette/Adam Rove #4: JoA maybe over, but we haven't seen the last of Chris!

Sorry everyone with the changes we've lost the lovely opening that we had to this thread.

If anyone would like to make a banner, that would be greatly appreciated.

And of course we will be starting a new list

Chris Marquette was in last week's episode of Huff, on Showtime, in an episode called "Sweet Release." I didn't find out about it till now, so I missed it. I don't know whether he's going to be in the next episode, which starts airing on Sunday. I'd heard he was going to be in an episode or two, but I don't watch the show, and I haven't been able to find out anything.

Just thought I'd let people know, in case anyone gets Showtime and wants to try to catch the next episode. I'm sure they'll eventually show Chris's episode again, but I wish I'd known for sure he was on last week.

Thanks for that. I've never heard of Huff

And John, that movie looks cool, hey?

ETA: Info on American Gun

Quote:

American Gun
Director: Aric Avelino. Screenwriters: Aric Avelino, Steven Bagatourian. Cast: Marcia Gay Harden, Forest Whitaker, Chris Marquette, Chris Warren Jr., Tony Goldwyn, Linda Cardellini, Donald Sutherland, Nikki Reed, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon. (R)

First-time filmmaker Aric Avelino's drama American Gun interweaves three otherwise unrelated stories focusing on the impact of guns in modern American society. The best of the triptych stars a formidable Marcia Gay Harden as the single mother of a teen who was one of the killers (and was himself killed) in a Columbine-style high-school bloodbath three years earlier. She's trying to hold her life together for the sake of her surviving son (Chris Marquette, last seen as the perpetually horny best friend in The Girl Next Door ), now the same age as his brother was when he died.

Cut to a dedicated principal (Forest Whitaker) in an impoverished section of Chicago, coping with kids and guns on a daily basis while struggling to stay on an even keel for his wife ( NYPD Blue 's Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon) and kid. Obvious stuff, mostly, but it gets more interesting whenever attention shifts to Marcus (Chris Warren Jr.), a determined student who plays by the rules and works a late shift all alone in a wire cage at an inner-city gas station. He carries an unloaded gun for protection, but though he never brings it past the school's array of metal detectors, it eventually runs him afoul of that increasingly stressed-out principal. An accommodation is reached, but the handgun is confiscated. And very soon, the young man has cause to wish he hadn't surrendered it.

Finally, in the film's weakest portion, Linda Cardellini ( ER ) is a college student who works part-time and half-heartedly in the family business, a gun shop owned by her granddad (Donald Sutherland). Not much transpires, other than a briefly dangerous moment when the student responds to a threat by pondering her own possible need to bear arms.

A very mixed bag, this. Nothing works out exactly as you'd anticipate, which is good, but bad things happen to some decent folks, which can't help but leave a sour aftertaste. See it for the always viewable Harden, for that strong turn by the equally fine Whitaker, for Tony Goldwyn as a tormented cop. Like so many other movies nowadays, the quality of the performances is not matched by the uneven script. It's an in-your-face, ensemble-oriented whirligig very much in the manner of Crash , but a lot more loosely structured, and a lot more enigmatic. Is it merely a shrill anti-gun polemic, or is Avelino suggesting, particularly in the plot lines involving the teenager at the gas station and the college student at the gun shop, that there are times when lethal personal protection is both necessary and wise? You depart American Gun scratching your head, wondering what we're meant to glean from these grim slices of life depicting gun violence and its emotional

Thanks for the updates, folks!

I also read that Comcast is supposed to be showing American Gun as some sort of Pay-Per-View option (or maybe it's On Demand) for about $5 for the next month. I'm going to call on Monday and find out more details, because we do have Comcast. Since the movie isn't playing in a theater near me, this may be my best chance to see it before it hits DVD. Roger Ebert gave it a positive review (3 stars, I think) a week ago on his site.

You're welcome

Oh that sounds interesting

sisterdebmac · 05-13-2006, 11:24 PM

OK, please excuse the fact that I have posted pretty much the same thing in three threads, but I want to make sure my message gets across. No, we have not seen the last of Chris! Not by a long shot. In fact, he's kind of all over the place right now. Unfortunately, I fear that some fans have drifted away a little bit and don't know about all the major develoments that are going on with him. A small handful of us have access to a great deal of material that no Google search is going to lead you to. How can that be? Because it's only on a message board. And Google doesn't really do well finding stuff on those.

So...

Any of you guys interested in screencaps or vidclips of Chris Marquette from his recent appearance on Huff? Or from his riveting, emotional performance in the film American Gun, which is currently running on Comcast On Demand? Or would you like to see exclusive set pics from his just completed film Fanboys and chat with two guys who worked on the film with him and have great stories to tell? Or maybe read spoilers and speculation for his upcoming second appearance on Huff?

Visit Melissa's wonderful site: http://www.christopher-marquette.com and go to the forum, listed under "Talk". Even if the front page isn't updated as regularly as it used to be, there's still all kinds of goodness in the forum. Those if us who hang out there would love to talk to all of you other Chris fans!

**Just Peachy.** · 05-14-2006, 04:01 AM

Thanks for the info Deb its always appreciated. And don't worry about posting it different threads. I tend to do the same as we talk about what the casting are doing in their actor threads and on the news thread

sisterdebmac · 05-14-2006, 12:17 PM

Thanks. I'm glad that didn't come off as annoying. I just want everyone to know that there's a bunch of good stuff available for Chris fans, if only someone would tell you where to find it. Hope you enjoy stopping by and check it all out. Say hi if you feel like it.

No not annoying at all

Ron_Cullen · 05-25-2006, 06:31 PM

I've managed to see Christopher in "Just Friends". He is so hilarious in that movie!!! The movie in itself is lame but Chris just makes it more enjoyable. His character is so different than Adam, it's hard to picture him any way. One thing I did notice that his character had incommon though was the beanie!

sisterdebmac · 05-26-2006, 02:53 PM

Hey SWJ,

Did you see it on DVD? If so, did you watch the extras? If not, wanna see something really cute? Go to www.christopher-marquette.com, to the message boards and the Just Friends thread. TeeJay put vidcaps of the extras that Chris introduced on the DVD up there. They are very funny. Especially the one called It's Friggin' Cold where he talks about walking outside and instantly becoming a Ken Doll.

TJ_TeeJay · 05-27-2006, 04:32 AM

I can only second Deb. The Just Friends extras are really neat, although Chris isn't in a lot of them. At least not when you count total exposure time. But then, he played a supporting role, so...

We might also want to mention that he was on last Sunday's Huff. Okay, not really. It was just one or two photos of him that Byrd finds on his doorstep, together with Teddy's diary. But Chris is gonna be in one more upcoming episode (this time in motion and not just on pictures). It will air on June 11 and it's called "Tapping The Squid". So tune in to Showtime if you can then.

Ron_Cullen · 05-27-2006, 06:13 AM

We watched the movie at school and never got to finish it. I plan to rent it though [even though I don't really get the point of it seeing as how I'm not much into comedy].

TJ_TeeJay · 05-27-2006, 07:11 AM

Ah, okay, I see. I wouldn't have watched the movie either if Chris hadn't been in it. Not my kind of movie. I thought the whole thing was kinda ditsy (I keep saying it's a cheap version of "American Pie"--which I already didn't like much), but Chris saved it for me. Deb said he is a great physical comedian. Can't contradict that. Some of his facial expressions and grimaces are priceless.
