ARCH_angel - I'm actually quite a fan of the German national team - not just Dirk, I also like Mithat Demirel and Pascal Roller quite a lot too! (And Patrick Femerling is great - and he makes me laugh with his interviews sometimes!) Saw the first round groups for Eurobasket this summer. Lithuania's the only team in that group I think will give Team Deutschland any trouble, and even they're not as strong as several years ago. Just hoping for Dirk and the guys to get their berth in the Olympics next year!!
Well, I love watching basketball games, but they don´t show the games on regular tv in Germany. You´ve to get a special sports channel to watch it. The most popular sport over here is soccer. Soccer player are treated as gods! I´ve read that Archie´s a devoted soccer player. I´m not so into soccer. I prefer basketball or icehockey. The bloody sport :lol:
Anyway...I was curious about the movie I mentioned because in an old interview, Archie had specifically mentioned it as a movie he enjoyed doing. Man, oh man would I love to see it...
I can´t remember much of the film – it´s too long ago. I just think that I´ve seen the beginning as the plot sounded so familiar. Maybe it get´s repeated sometime. I´d record it and you would get a copy.
Oh noooooo: I just had the idea to start a search on google and guess what! The movie has been repeated on 6th February!! What a bummer!
But Archie´s part must have been really small. He´s not mentioned anywhere.
Yeah, I sort of had to grit my teeth for renting the Olsen sisters movie, but I was rewarded for my determination since Archie has quite a lot of screen time in it.
Yep, I´ve seen the screen caps you did from this movie. It looks... funny. Esp. his hair! :lol: Anyway, I´ll have a look at my video store – maybe I can borrow the DVD? I´ll tell ya.
I agree with you about THHE2 - it's like a basketball team (like the Mavericks
). You're playing great and rolling over the rest of the league - and suddenly you get stomped by the Golden State Warriors!
You sort of have to shake it off and go focus for the next game. My husband said it'll be best if he puts this behind him quickly and gets involved in another, better movie. Me, as far as seeing it, to me it's like one of your good friends is going out on an arranged date with a guy you know is a total loser. Do you tag along trying to be supportive, or stay home because you just can't bear to watch the debacle? I'm still on the fence...
Hey, that´s a really good example! I can sympathize with that!
IMHO it´s a pity that he has to play in such movies. But if you have a look at the movies most celebrity actors had played in, you´ll find a lot of such b-movies. And c-movies
I guess he´d chosen it too because of the money – he needs to get his hands on the money as everyone of us has to. And he won´t get as much for his role as AJ on CSI as the other actors; e. g. George Eads or Eric Szmanda.
On the other hand, I think his management suggested him to play in it, as Michael Weisz is a well-known director and so there are some familiar movies on his list when he applies for another well-known movie next time. They´ll say "Hey, he played on "XXX" and "XXX", so he has learned a lot while playing in these movies". And his chances for bigger parts will grow. Well, at least that´s what I think.
Just out of curiosity when (what movie/TV show) first brought Archie to your attention? Also, have you checked out
Pronounced "kay-oh" yet?
Pfff. That´s a tough one! It was definately on CSI – last year. First I recognized George Eads... because of the shampoo ad he did last year.
And by chance there was a scene with Archie and (as I said before) I liked him from first sight. First of all I noticed his smile. He has a really cute smile - quite boyish. I love that!
They showed many repeats at the time, so I had the chance to record quite a lot of sequels from episode 1-5. The channel has changed last year and now they show 1 episode of Season 6 and afterwards 1 episode of Season 4 every Thursday. Right now "Fur and loathing" is on – sadly no Archie, but a really goodlooking George.
I have a slight liability to Asians
Don´t ask me why. I´m tall and blond – more the nordic type of girl. Btw I´m a huge fan of Jackie Chan too (he´s soo amazing) and I also like Chow Yun-Fat and Jet Li. Of course Keanu too (who´s hawaiian/english). But Archie´s somehow special.
Btw. I had a Japanese boy in my class on elementary school – I still can remember his name (Nico) and how he looked like. Usually my brain´s not that good.
And I´ve always thought about adopting a Chinese girl. So... *shruggs*
And, of course, I know "Pronounced kay-oh" quite well.
You do a great job! I love all the screencaps!
Archie must be really proud about this/his site!
