Dog Soldier Reports On Hayden Christensen And Jessica Alba In AWAKE!

mmm.... by OneintenMan	Jul 24th, 2007 03:13:05 AM
Alba
SOUNDS LIKE SHITE by Derek Wildstarr	Jul 24th, 2007 03:23:52 AM
jessica alba couldnt be hotter but her cinematic track record makes eva mendez look like meryl streep.
Plant my ass by RuneIV	Jul 24th, 2007 03:52:05 AM
If I were a plant I'd rate my movie 5/5
Sounds Ok by Papa Lazaru	Jul 24th, 2007 04:01:43 AM
However is the story worthy of 90 plus mins , instead of a Hitchcock half hour ? Either way I'm interested in seeing Christensen in this. He was god awful in the prequels but if anybody has seen "Shattered Glass" then you know the boy can act. Given the right material. As for Alba though , all hope is lost, she couldnt act on the actingest day of the year even if she had an electrified acting machine. No doubt she will do her "prestige piece" sooner or later . You know what I'm talking about . The one legged herion addicted lesbian jew with a severe eye infection and oscar will come a callin' , or so she will hope. Its only a matter of time .
"The only bad things in this movie are Jessica Alba" by The Dum Guy	Jul 24th, 2007 04:09:39 AM
That is like saying the only bad thing about breathing is oxygen. It sounds too much like the Stephen King story that was in Everything's Eventual, and its TV counterpart.
Xiphos seems to be using the same definition... by raw_bean	Jul 24th, 2007 04:16:09 AM
...of what signals a plant as Damon Knight used for sci-fi: "(a plant) is whatever I point to and say 'that's (a plant)'". Sorry but that one didn't look very leafy to me.
The Dum Guy by raw_bean	Jul 24th, 2007 04:17:22 AM
In Everything's Eventual itself, King points out that he ripped off the story already anyway, he wanted to put his own spin on it.
Spolier alert !!!?? by barnaby jones	Jul 24th, 2007 04:20:01 AM
It would have been nice.
Poor old Hayden Christensen by Franklin T Marmoset	Jul 24th, 2007 04:28:41 AM
I liked him in Shattered Glass and Life As A House, but then he goes and hooks up with George Lucas and ends up looking like a proper twat. Never mind. Hopefully, he can put all that Star Wars nonsense behind him. He's actually a pretty decent actor, I think.
raw_bean by The Dum Guy	Jul 24th, 2007 04:33:55 AM
Yeah, I read that too, but come on, that TV thing was on last year or so, can't they get a better idea for something that only needs around 45-minutes most, instead of an hour and a half? Ok, Hollywood has no soul and no creative talent running it, but when I hear negatively about Jessica Alba, I'll always react... Even though I don't watch most of her stuff, in fact I can't say I've liked anything she's been in (other than Sin City) other than the fact she is in it and I can look at her.... That is why I've never seen Into the Blue (I think that's the name), but I have seen plenty of clips from it, mainly with Alba in a bikini.
plant by Ray Gamma	Jul 24th, 2007 04:45:35 AM
you can tell this is a plant by the use of the phrase "I live in London and recently my friends managed to got hold of what they said was free tickets to a movie named 'Awake'." who would write "managed to get hold of what they said was free tickets to..." ??? it's such bad use of phrasing and reeks of a junior PR robot who has been paid to write about something they didn't really do.
Nice one, Shite... by Laza-rus	Jul 24th, 2007 05:22:09 AM
"...makes Eva Mendez look like Meryl Streep." Priceless. Being an anesthesia provider, I've heard about this movie for quite a while now, sometimes being heralded as "doing for anesthesia what Jaws did for the ocean." Awareness can and does happen during surgery due to a combination of factors but usually because of provider negligence. It's nice to know that the movie is taking the "Hollywood approach" which will hopefully minimize the practical fear over awareness during anesthesia by focusing on the malicious intent of Jessica Alba. I agree with Plant accusation as Hayden Christensen being called anything but brutal in a movie is just lies.
PLANT by Lost Prophet	Jul 24th, 2007 05:22:43 AM
seriously- and kingston is not in london. At least I don't think it is.
The Royal Borough Of Kingston Upon Thames by Franklin T Marmoset	Jul 24th, 2007 05:39:58 AM
Also known as Kingston, a part of the Greater London area. P.S. I would like to apply for a position as a plant reviewer. It would be fun, I think, to make up lies about films. Anyone know how I can do this?
Isn't it near Guildford, Surrey? by Lost Prophet	Jul 24th, 2007 05:58:26 AM
Being a metropolitan snob I don't consider it to be part of London. I, too, would like to offer myself as position of PLANT writer. I waste wroking days on here anyway, can write a little and have no problems whatsoever lying about any film. Or I could be an Anti-plant sent out to rubbish otherwise well received films. i come cheap.
Meh by Yeti	Jul 24th, 2007 06:30:00 AM
Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
plant? uh.... by BizarroJerry	Jul 24th, 2007 06:38:48 AM
A planet review is supposed to be a positive one. There's too much negative in this one.
All you dirty Londoners are the same, Lost Prophet by Franklin T Marmoset	Jul 24th, 2007 06:51:40 AM
You might as well give it up and embrace your filthy Greater London Area bretheren! No, only joking (insert appropriate emoticon here). London is great, apart from that black stuff that gets in your nose when you use the underground.
But does he escape the fascists and learn samurai arts? by Spandau Belly	Jul 24th, 2007 07:06:47 AM
Otherwise this really isn't a film. And his best friend needs to turn out to be imaginery and some big corporation is to blame for everything and it's all a dream....but NOT!
The perfect storm of bad acting by Garbageman33	Jul 24th, 2007 08:01:06 AM
Wow, Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba in the same movie?! I'm afraid acting this horrendous might rip a hole in the space time continuum.
Dum Guy: Jessica Alba? by raw_bean	Jul 24th, 2007 08:07:41 AM
There are many better looking actresses, and many of them can actually act.
Hayden & James by JohnnyOClock	Jul 24th, 2007 08:08:47 AM
I think if Christensen and Di Franco ever met they'd wince themselves into a small, but perfectly formed pile of wrinkles.
As for that phrase, Ray Gamma... by raw_bean	Jul 24th, 2007 08:10:48 AM
..."managed to get hold of what they said was free tickets to", that's actually far more coherent than 95% of the linguistic garbage in reviews submitted to this site. In fact I'd have gone along with you more if you'd argued that that was too well phrased to be anything other than a plant. I mean, correct the 'was' to 'were' and it's something I could see myself saying.
One of the worst anime flicks I've ever seen by godoffireinhell	Jul 24th, 2007 08:11:51 AM
DOG SOLDIER, that is. Not nearly as bad as, say, RIKI-OH 2: CHILD OF DESTRUCTION or ANAL SANCTUARY but still really, really fucking awful.
Leave Hayden alone by Franklin T Marmoset	Jul 24th, 2007 08:12:21 AM
The poor sap got handed Lucas's slipshod, hand-scrawled, first draft script and then was left to fend for himself on a stage made entirely of green curtains while various men in green spandex bodysuits wandered around and pretended to be animated aliens. You can't blame the guy for doing poor work in those circumstances. The Star Wars prequels made bad actors out of everyone.
US Release Date??? by Gemma_Mac	Jul 24th, 2007 08:12:50 AM
I've been waiting for this movie to be released. There are release dates for the UK and Germany but no US release date has been announced yet. It sounds like a very interesting movie.
How many actors regret doing the prequels? by colivo	Jul 24th, 2007 08:15:24 AM
As much as the Prequels sucked, I kinda feel bad for actors like Hayden Christensen now, cause they will always be stuck with the Star Wars name for whatever they do the rest of their career, the same way Ford, Fisher, and Hammill were in the early 80's. The difference is the Classic Trilogy was so loved, the actors wanted to get away from that image cause people loved them TOO much! Whenever I hear Hayden Christenen, I think of Attack of the Clones and him talking to Padme by the fireplace in that god awful scene that is utterly laughable today. Overall, I think Ewan McGregor was the only actor to come out of the Prequels with some dignity.
Natalie Portman redeemed herself nicely by Garbageman33	Jul 24th, 2007 08:25:20 AM
All it took was putting on a pink wig and playing a stripper who doesn't strip.
And before you say anything bad about James Franco by Garbageman33	Jul 24th, 2007 08:30:35 AM
Go back and watch Freaks and Geeks. It seems that because he's a good looking guy, he's been typecast in the dreamboat role. But he should be playing against type in comedies. For proof, look no further than the deleted scene where he gets fired from Knocked Up.
The prequels were a nasty brush to be tarred with by Franklin T Marmoset	Jul 24th, 2007 09:00:57 AM
Luckily, a lot of the actors had decent reputations already (Neeson, McGregor, Portman, L Jackson), so they've escaped with their skins intact. But the newcomers (especially the two Anakins) got royally screwed. I think Jake Lloyd works in a shop or something now, so Christensen's doing relatively well, on account of he still has an acting career. He's going to have to produce some pretty fucking stellar performances to erase the memory of that fireside seduction scene, though. Poo!
You're so funny, YackBacker, make me laugh again by greyspecter	Jul 24th, 2007 09:09:31 AM
Seriously, though, I'm all for Hayden acting his little heart out as long as it involves a scene that smacks of Temple of Doom. After FF2 I'm done with Story and probably Alba too; don't think even the prospect of her nancing about in skivvies could make me watch Good Luck Chuck. Though I wouldn't mind being Dane Cook, he's been funny for about 5 minutes of his entire life and now he's a movie star getting straddled and seduced by Alba. See, America! Any talentless hack can be a successful movie star!
"His heart condition is fatal... by Jamador79	Jul 24th, 2007 09:33:19 AM
meaning that without a transplant of the organ, he will die." Thanks for the explanation, douchebagh.
Ewan McGregor's reputation is in tact by Spandau Belly	Jul 24th, 2007 09:53:46 AM
as that guy who hasn't given a good performance or been in a good movie since Trainspotting. Actually Velvet Goldmine was alright in a tv movie kinda way, but Ewan's dodgy Yank accent and terrible Jim Morrison impression was more painful than any of his tone-deaf Scottish abridged cover wailing in Moulin Rouge.
Didn't Hayden Christensen Complain that George Lucas by kevinwillis.net	Jul 24th, 2007 09:58:03 AM
Used the worst takes and took the worst performances? That might sound like a cop-out, until you see how Christensen acts in other movies. Then it's kind of like: hmmm, Lucas is just attracted to performances that suck. That's, like, his fetish or something. That, and Natalie Portman trussed up in vinyl and leather for a casual chat by the fire. Or maybe that's my fetish I'm thinking of.
Shattered Glass= by PVIII	Jul 24th, 2007 10:07:52 AM
awesome movie.
Jessica Alba is a celebrity by messi	Jul 24th, 2007 10:14:31 AM
not an actress. Just fucking go to b movies you fucking semi racist cunt.
colivo not really by messi	Jul 24th, 2007 10:16:46 AM
I mean I'm surprised Hayden has gotten so many high profile roles as he has, compared to say Mark Hamill or the new generations Mark Hamill - Brandon Routh. Then again Hamill owned and will always own, regardless who did that role, fate had it that the actor who played Luke Skywalker would forever be that character. Routh is just a bum who says about 5 lines. Where am I getting. Ohh that Hayden has gotten decent roles and isn't desperate for work.
I don't want to Embrace them by Lost Prophet	Jul 24th, 2007 10:21:31 AM
they can all fuck off. If you don't have a london postcode (as in if you have HA or GU or some shit like that) then you don't live in London. I also am not sure about the metropolitan status of Places like Edgeware either. hayden Woodensssennnn is a talentless bag of shite that should be thanking his lucky stars that George Lucas cast him in the prequels or he'd be serving fast food for minimum wage. The tool.
Ewan McGregor hasn't been in a good movie since... by Garbageman33	Jul 24th, 2007 10:47:21 AM
Trainspotting? Oh, so you didn't like Blackhawk Down? Great movie and he was really good in it. Come to think of it, so was Josh Hartnett. Heck, even Orlando Bloom was good. So perhaps that's not the best example of his acting chops. But he was also good in Young Adam and Down with Love. Not to mention Velvet Goldmine.
Down with Love? by Lost Prophet	Jul 24th, 2007 10:49:57 AM
yuck, awful trite garbage. I've just seen him cast in I, Lucifer which is one of my favourite books and I cannot express how wrong he is for Satan.
Hayden's still a better actor that Jake Lloyd by Puddleglum	Jul 24th, 2007 10:52:28 AM
I mean, I fee bad for the "kid" (isn't he like 16 now?), because he probably is working at Barnes & Noble as a book reshelver-guy person dude. But, He got TAINTED with shittiness after Episode I. But anyone who suffered through Jingle All the FUCKIN Way knew that kid just whines his way through his roles. God I hate that movie. So, comparably, Hayden's not that bad. But, then this might be like comparing Alba's acting to Eve Mendes'...heh.
Oh, and Alba... by Puddleglum	Jul 24th, 2007 10:54:09 AM
who really cares how good her ACTING is as long as her bod looks stellar. Anyone going to see her ACT needs a shot of testosterone!
i couldn't understand by El Borak	Jul 24th, 2007 11:01:02 AM
a single fucking thing in that.
You're too harsh, Spandau Belly by Franklin T Marmoset	Jul 24th, 2007 11:02:54 AM
Little Voice, Black Hawk Down, Big Fish, Velvet Goldmine, Brassed Off - I thought he was pretty good in all of those. He can be shit at times, though. Nightwatch, that was fucking awful.
Down with Love and a personal note to Franklin by Bloo	Jul 24th, 2007 11:17:43 AM
I actually enjoyed Down with Love in a weird sort of way. It's such a fun throwback to Screwball comedies. Now Franklin, Nightwach is fun in that it's 3am I'm drunk and I want to watch somethin cheesy kind of way. You've got ewan hamming it up as a broke college student and Nick Nolte (in what I think may be a role he filmed entirly drunk) just being a drunk Nick Nolte. Yeah it's crap but it's fun crap
Down With Love sucked. Pillow Talk was better by finky089	Jul 24th, 2007 11:24:33 AM
and it was made like 40 years earlier...which probably explains alot, come to think of it. That, and who can stand that much Zellweger? I mean, jusr seeing her on the screen sends me into SQUINTING fits and gives me a splitting headache.
OK, I may have pushed it with Down by Love by Garbageman33	Jul 24th, 2007 11:38:11 AM
But the point remains, Ewan McGregor should never be placed in the same category as Hayden Christenson. When it comes to acting ability (and I use the term loosely) Hayden should be compared to thespians like James Van Der Beek and Paul Walker.
Sorry, Down WITH Love by Garbageman33	Jul 24th, 2007 11:46:30 AM
Down by Love is a cross between Down with Love and Down by Law. Actually, that sounds like a good movie.
FUCKING HORRIBLE GRAMMAR!! by DamnYouMB	Jul 24th, 2007 11:53:19 AM
This reviewer made me throw up on the keyboard his goddamn grammar was so bad!!
Okay, I'll give you Black Hawk Down by Spandau Belly	Jul 24th, 2007 11:54:21 AM
I actually forgot that Ewan was the "guy who made coffee" in that very good film, but again, that dodgy Yank accent was terrible! He just can't do accents and even Josh Hartnett came off okay in BHD, so I think that film might have had some magic power to disguise bad acting through good cinematography and gunfire. Like I said, Velvet Goldmine was an okay film overall, but I thought Ewan was terrible in it. I guess Brassed Off was cute enough, but I think Ewan was trying to be English in that and did some more bad accent work. I have not seen The Island or Down With Love, though I, myself, am in fact, down with love.
Spoiler Alert You twat!! by Brody77	Jul 24th, 2007 11:58:59 AM
Can we change the main page boxes to "we're gonna give away the ENTIRE FILM so you don't have to watch"?
Ya mean they're actually... by Kid Z	Jul 24th, 2007 12:12:41 PM

They're just saving you from yourself, Brody by Garbageman33	Jul 24th, 2007 12:45:43 PM
If you're ready to plop down $12.00 to see a pale Hitchcock impersonation starring noted thespians Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba, well, I'm afraid someone has to step in. Consider it a well-timed intervention.
Moriarty--tsk tsk by Birdys Piano Teacher	Jul 24th, 2007 02:40:05 PM
If you'd seen Shattered Glass like you were supposed to, you'd know that Christensen has already carried a film. And a great one at that.
Shattered Glass was good by Magic Rat	Jul 24th, 2007 02:50:01 PM
but Hayden Christenson is still a shit actor. And he was only good in Shattered Glass because he was playing a really bad liar - which is the same as playing a really bad actor, which he is.
Shattered Glass succeeded in spite of him by Garbageman33	Jul 24th, 2007 02:55:05 PM
Not because of him. Face it, the kid is a charisma vacuum. And the whole movie kinda depended on the fact that people were drawn to him and couldn't believe that he was a liar. So that never really worked for me. Throw Ryan Gosling in there and you got a homerun.
Don't worry Hayden..... by Smerdyakov	Jul 24th, 2007 02:59:07 PM
Marc Hammil survived Star Wars and now he's....uh...never mind.
Wow. Watch as I become even more disinterested in this by SpyGuy	Jul 24th, 2007 03:06:10 PM
Wait for it...Wait for it... Yep, completely disinterested in this film now. So...um...how about that news about Abrams casting Sylar as Spock in his TREK flick?
re: raw_bean by Ray Gamma	Jul 24th, 2007 03:12:23 PM
i think you missed the point of my post; i was not criticizing the grammar of the sentence - i was criticizing the SEMANTICS of the sentence. if you think about the phrase "I live in London and recently my friends managed to got hold of what they said was free tickets to a movie named 'Awake'." within the context of this "review", and imagine yourself having written it, it becomes clear that if you had actually seen the movie under these supoosed circumstances, you would not type the words "recently my friends managed to got hold of what they said was free tickets to a movie named 'Awake'." - even when the grammar is corrected, the fact remains that it seems odd to go to a movie with friends who 'apparently tell you that they have free tickets for it allegedly'. do you see what i'm getting at? the badly-written text actually reveals it to be a fictitious account.
PS by Ray Gamma	Jul 24th, 2007 03:16:21 PM
a very similar plant review appeared before another recent Alba movie, on here, a few months ago. I can't remember what it was, but the whole review was positive until the final paragraph went into how she couldn't act but had great tits or something. it's almost as though she has signed a contract allowing the studios to publish rave plant reviews of all her movies on the condition that a 'plausibility paragraph' is added which mentions her shit acting but superb tits.
The movie sounds dire, but what a hilarious talkback! by Daddylonghead	Jul 24th, 2007 03:26:43 PM

Upcoming KOREAN film, SAME kinda . . . by WX1	Jul 24th, 2007 03:45:07 PM
. . . story. Scheduled for early August (hey, that’s in a few weeks, yikes!) release South Korean director Gyu man Lee. Yeah, never heard of him either in Korean film circles.. The film is called “Return.” I’ve seen described on various ‘sites about (and, you’ll agree, this sounds WAY more hardcore than this “Awake” – by the way, one-word titles makes a movie ‘bout being alert in major surgery?) and some sources indicate a grown-up alive in surgery, but, one source I read seems more chilling, even MORE hardcore; that is the one who has the surgery, survives it, kills or harms a friend (or friends), gets behavioral health assistance, seemingly has the suppressed pain even MORE suppressed, then, as a grown-up goes on a killing sprees . . . with the obligatory back/let’s reveal story that ‘splains the whole thing. The only thespian name I’m familiar with among the cast is one Rwe ha Kim from the “Angel Heart”-like “H.” Me likes. And that's just about the timing of both films a'comin' at the same time. Arasoo?
Mean to say that . . . by WX1	Jul 24th, 2007 03:47:45 PM

Worst Actress Standing by Garbageman33	Jul 24th, 2007 04:05:05 PM
They should have a reality show where Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Kirsten Dunst and a bunch of other "actresses" all share a house. Each day, they'd be presented with a new challenge. Like emoting. Or changing facial expression. They'd then be judged by a panel of bad actresses from year's past. Like Goldie Hawn. Perhaps Sean Young. And then, each week the loser would get kicked out of the house and sent to the Valley where they'd shoot their first porn flick. After all, that's the one place where their "acting" would fit right in.
Whoa - this is like getting two hot blocks of wood by superninja	Jul 24th, 2007 04:06:39 PM

Hayden's a good actor. by CherryValance	Jul 24th, 2007 04:11:18 PM
Ewan's a good actor. Jessica Alba is okay so far. So can we all just give these people a break? No one was ever going to be happy with the actor who got to play Vader because they didn't. Alba hasn't even had a chance to get enough acting experience but she hasn't been bad that I've noticed. And Ewan has done a lot of good work that maybe people haven't seen. But he was playing an Iggy Pop type in Velvet Goldmine, not Morrison, and I thought it was his best work (especially this>>> http://tinyurl.com/2wn5cg) If not then it's Young Adam, which everyone should catch if they haven't already.

as the object of affection and little else. Yeah, everyone says Christensen can act but apparently he's only been good in one film (My Life as a House).
Down with love was great except for Zellwegger. by superninja	Jul 24th, 2007 06:10:38 PM

I'm with ZombieSolutions, Alba movies = eye candy by The Dum Guy	Jul 24th, 2007 08:08:35 PM
Even though I haven't bothered seeing most of her films, I also go with DevilCat's suggestion, but I've wanted to bang Alba since she was on Flipper, and no I'm not a pedophile b/c Alba is older than me.
OH MY FUCK!!!!!! by ghostwatcher	Jul 24th, 2007 08:34:05 PM
Even though this review was written by someone who could only be described as severely retarded, I'm relatively sure that, from this moment on, when I get mad I'm going to yell OH MY FUCK FUUCCCCCCCCCCK FUCK WHAT THE FUCK FUCK!!!! In all caps, of course. If he actually does scream that for five minutes straight, that alone may make this movie worth seeing.
Hayden for KIRK!!!! by jewican	Jul 24th, 2007 10:14:43 PM
so I read on comingsoon.net that they cast Spock - it's that one guy from heros... or 24 or something... anywho - I was kinda thinking how cool would it be if Hayden played Capt Kirk... Think about it - he could live long and prosper with the force!

CherryValance I disagree with ya by colivo	Jul 25th, 2007 06:12:09 AM
I always disagree with the notion that nobody was ever going to like whoever played Darth Vader, as the main argument is that we envisioned for years who Darth Vader should be. For years and years, people envisioned who should play Superman, and Christopher Reeve was PERFECT!!! For years and years, we envisioned who should play Batman, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney, NOPE! Christian Bale, thats the perfect Bruce Wayne/Batman! Darth Vader was the same way, and in some ways I blame Lucas for making him a whiny prick in AOTC, instead of a cool-over confident Jedi, who's arrogance of his abilties were his downfall, not because Palpatine fucking made up some dumb trick of saving people from dying because of a dream!
Wasn't there a Ryan Philipe movie with this plot? by Drath	Jul 25th, 2007 07:14:05 AM
Or something about a guy in a hospital with an evil girlfriend and conspiring doctors and shit? Oh wait, that had time travel I think, so it must have been different. Okay, fine, yeah, maybe on DVD or Encore I will catch this. Sorry Hayden, I'm sure some day you'll once more be in something I want to see in a theater.

You've actually got a point there dude! Intervention received & understood!! ;-) Unless Alba's in a bikini again. Is she? No? Dammit.
Garbageman33, you should produce that show by Spandau Belly	Jul 25th, 2007 11:54:22 AM
I actually have no idea why Kirsten Dunst is a working actress. At least Jessica Alba is stunningly good looking and Jessica Biel isn't my type, but she's alright looking and fine at acting in generic action movies that require an Eric Roberts approach to the acting craft. But Kirsten Dunst??? She's fugly, she's not even a butterface. And she can't act. Scarjo just stares blankly off into space, but luckily there are a lot of female characters written who do just that and so her lack of range isn't as apparent as the other crop of overrated young actresses. And I agree that Lindsay Lohan can actually act, but she's also kinda ugly and a total liability. She's got that Robert Downey stamp on her where you can't cast her in too big a role in case she goes to jail or rehab halfway through production.

OK, I've been waiting to tell this story for a while now. My friend is a location scout in NYC and worked on "Awake" last year. One night they were shooting on the street in Manhattan. A small group of lookey-loos gathered and soon a few of the younger guys started to heckle Hayden Christiansen. He ignored them at first, but when one of them said something to the effect of "How does it feel to ruin Star Wars?" he fucking snapped and went after the dudes! He caught one and started to kick the shit out of him and location security actually had to pull him off. I'm one of those who, having seen "Shattered Glass", realize that the guy can actually act, he just needs a director who can direct actors (not just visual effects). Anyhow, my friend was absolutely blown away by it, and we both have much more respect than we ever would have imagined for Annakin.

I didn't realize Hayden Christianson's agent kept up with AICN.
