Don't you dare ask him that. He'll think you're a fruit loop!

hollybaggins · 11-07-2009, 04:39 AM

After how I acted at the HSM3 premiere, I'm sure he already thinks I'm a fruit loop!

**AzureEyes♥** · 11-07-2009, 04:56 AM

Yes but there's no need to remind him of that

hollybaggins · 11-07-2009, 05:01 AM

Puh-leese! Shouldn't everyone know me by now? Never do things half-assed. If I haven't done something embarrassing, clumsy or down-right weird, it simply wouldn't be right.

Hopefully I'll get Pattinson to embed his teeth in my neck next week. Hopefully I'll be running back up the motorway with Zac flung over my shoulder the week after. Bring it on!

Love that News On Me And Orson Welles.

I am super stoked for you Holls! And I can't wait for your recap.

And you should give him a whole box of pens and be like, in case you feel the urge to steal from some other poor helpless fan. You have a stash ready.

EDIT: Well, Bee beat me.

The Facebook page looks official enough and it says "This site is for US fans." so I'm thinking it's pretty legit that a nationwide release is planned for December 11th.

New reviews

Encore Magazine: The Performing Arts Magazine

Quote:

Beyond the breadth and depth of the historical context, the acting in the film is truly captivating. Christian McKay, discovered while portraying Welles in a one-man stage show, is spot-on as the legend—watching his passion and prowess is like being transported in a time machine. Danes is infectious as the unapologetically determined Sonja. And Efron, most well known for his turn in the Disney franchise High School Musical, is effective as a leading man.

And this is a great write up

Popnography: Zac Efron Plays the Part of an Actor

Quote:

Oh, it's magic time. A second non-Disney Zac Efron film in 2009? My heart is just aflutter. And doesn't this one look good? A critical darling when it made its film festival debut, Me and Orson Welles will have a limited release starting November 25th (and a wider release in December) and I just could not be more excited. Opening night? Forget homework, I will be there to take in every quivering lip, every piercing stare from those big watery blue eyes, and every moment of stillness as we wonder if our Boy Wonder might burst into song.

This could be the very film to launch Efron into adult drama -- if his character in the trailer doesn't give you little chills recalling Jack Dawson, you're lying to yourself. Titanic was the last of Leonardo DiCaprio's romantic roles, so before Zefron too quickly transforms into a cussing, bearded hunter of African diamonds, let's take look at some of his lesser-known dramatic roles that you may (or may not, frankly) want catch up on before you step into the theater to see Claire Danes snog another handsome leading man (seriously, between Leo, Jared Leto, and Hugh Dancy some girls just have all the luck!)

We'll start with Lifetime's Miracle Run where he played the mentally challenged, marathon-running son of Mary Louise Parker (before she was hashing out hash). His Gilbert Grape!

Then there was his cameo in Heist where he played a pizza boy that gets blown up.

There was his guest spot on CSI: Miami where his little brother murders an IRS agent.

His spot on NCIS where he accidentally purchases a murdered lieutenant's cell phone.

And, of course, his starring role on the WB's Summerland, where he played a victim of domestic abuse. Seriously? Can this kid catch a break?

I've saved the best for last though: a seminal classic, the direct-to-DVD film, The Derby Stallion. Truly the Rocky of horse movies. Efron is just an unlikely American with a big dream, riding to victory with help from Houston Jones, his "mystical negro" coach. "The heart of a boy, the soul of a champion." This film has it all: animal humor, sepia-tone flashbacks, Southern racism, comical trombone inserts, a porny jazz soundtrack, a tip-frosted obviously gay antagonist, the touching death of a mentor (one guess), and -- of course -- the gap between Zac's two front teeth. But really, you should just watch The Derby Stallion so you can hear my prince among twinks say things like "he's tied up and ready to go," and "OK, boy, show me what you got."

...and now I owe Zac Efron an apology.

I'm glad that people are taking his role in MAOW seriously as being the potentially stereotype breaking role that I think we all know its gonna be

bettybaby · 11-07-2009, 06:23 PM

love the encore blurb.....even though most critics are lavishing praise on christian, most are still offering some very positive remarks for zac's performance!
