Hello everyone!

Josh and Christian Slater were supposed to be in Seattle on 11/6 for the preview of Bobby and a round of interviews. Christian made it and ended up at the Seahawks Monday Night Football Game. However, Josh flew in late on 11/6 and made the rounds in the morning.

I hope this link works it is his appearance on the Bob Rivers Show on KZOK 102.5 in case the link doesn't work. He is funny and up for anything on the show. There is a photo of Josh on the site as well but I can't seem to copy it to bring it over.

He also made a stop at Kiss 1061.com for the Jackie and Bender show and it was sad/sweet to hear him talking about Moose (a dog that was in the studio) and how Moose reminded him of Shumba. I hope this link works for you to! Drop down and you will see Josh's name to listen.

Jackie and Bender . Mornings . KISS 106.1 -there are pictures and this is what Sammi wrote in her blog about Josh.

IOne of our sales girls, Megan, is leaving for Vegas today so she brought in her big dog “Moose”. He’s going to doggy daycare today but decided to hang in studio with us for a little bit. Jackie fed him almost an entire bag of Tostitos. She’s like the fun aunt who feeds you what you want to eat at their house.

Joshua Jackson was in studio this morning promoting “Bobby” which opens later this month. It’s still sort of strange to see Dawson’s Creek’s Pacey talk about real-life events and become passionate about anything but Joey. Lame reference, I know. Josh was a pleasure to have in studio. I was trying to think of a way to describe how it was and “a pleasure” is what I came up with. He’s nice, good-looking, and conversational and was playing with Moose. What more could you want in a guy. Is he single? I forgot to ask. If he is, someone needs to snatch that up!
Anyway, enjoy both of the interviews!

Funniest thing I have read all day!

I finally got to watch the movie and man, was it good! I really enjoyed Josh, Lindsay, Demi

Spoiler:

although it would have been nice to see Demi sing the whole song

Sharon and Freddy.

I have to say, i loved Josh in the movie. I agree, that it wasn't Pacey-like at all. I also enjoyed his rappart with Nick.

Spoiler:

when Wade was speaking to the audience and he couldn't get through to them, he just turned it over to Dwyane. Classy guy indeed.

On to the "Big" scene, I was quite surprised to see that

Spoiler:

Wade was the one who saw Bobby laying there on the floor, it must have been a huge blow to him to see the man who he was campaigning for shot. Josh was amazing in that scene, when Dwyane was asking what happened and Josh just gave him this, "You don't want to know!" look. Oh, and him calling for a doctor and almost hearing tears in his voice

was very emotional. Oh and when Josh was standing there fighting back tears.

Hey, that best actor nod was not a fluke at all. Not that it isn't.

Watch CNN right now. A few scenes with Josh while they're talking about the movie.

JoshandChristinaCursed · 12-02-2006, 07:19 PM

Do you know what scenes?

Aynad · 12-02-2006, 07:24 PM

^ Nop. I haven't seen the movie, but I think it was backstage stuff.

Actually, I've had all three of those radio interviews on my site since they aired back in early November -- along with the pictures.

But thanks for the links, MPR. I have it available to download on the site since you can never tell when things will be removed from other places.

Adrimar_Jackson · 12-03-2006, 12:37 AM

I had a dream last night that Josh was nominated for an Oscar for this movie

2unique1 · 12-03-2006, 01:05 AM

I loved the movie and JOSH in the Movie! Just seeing him further his skills as an actor was wonderful. Josh is an excellent actor

JoshandChristinaCursed · 12-03-2006, 06:39 AM

Katienap, you raised the good point that Josh should have been given more to speak but IMO, just Josh's facial expressions and SPOILERS

Spoiler:

him calling for a doctor after seeing Kennedy shot

SPOILERS made it up for it. I didn't expect Josh's role to be so important.

Just a little wow moment for me, I was reading this article and Linda Ford actually mentioned a quote that Josh said!

Letters

Quote:

But after reading a quote in The Bee's Sunday Ticket section cover story ("When a Dream Died," Page 24, Nov. 19) about the making of the movie "Bobby," I suddenly understood. The quote was by Joshua Jackson, who plays a Kennedy campaign worker. It was, "I have a deeply righteous political streak, which I feel that every citizen of this nation should have, remembering that the people in (elected) office work for us. We don't work for them."
Conley also possesses an intense, veracious political streak.

According to Box Office Mojo, Bobby came in at #12 this weekend with $2,005,000.

LVF58 · 12-03-2006, 06:40 PM

Which I find thoroughly disappointing - not just because of Josh, but because I think it is such an important movie with an extremely timely message - I was hoping more people would want to see it, no matter what their political stripes...

JoshandChristinaCursed · 12-03-2006, 06:45 PM

How does a movie go from # 6 to #12?

LVF58 · 12-03-2006, 06:47 PM

Just a massive drop in box office, I suppose...

Was it #6 AFTER Thanksgiving weekend? Like during the week? Because it was #9 as of last Sunday.

And, there have been more movies that have come out since then, which will always cause a fluctuation. Going from 9 to 12 with practically no deep, deep promotion isn't that bad. It's doing a lot better than I thought with having a very small budget and not as much promotion.

ETA: Thanks to maa for letting me know that the Rotten Tomatoes website is saying that "BOBBY" will be out on DVD in March 20, 2007.
