A Call To The Bullpen, bauer-griffin, hayden christian, the force

This Flight Isn't Cancelled

Hayden Christensen attempted to use "The Force" to make sure his American Airlines flight was not cancelled this weekend. Unfortunately for Hayden, each time the airline employee checked on the status of the flight, it still showed up as being cancelled. Christian explained to the woman that he had booked the flight roughly three months ago. To which the woman simply shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe you shouldn't have made that Attack of the Clones movie and ruined Star Wars." Then she yelled for the next passenger in line.

Do you think he made a bitchy comment about her hair after that?

Hey, weren't you in Even Stevens?
Oh, I'm sorry, I got you confused with some other talentless fuck.

if jedi mind tricks didn't work, can't he just 'jump' to his farm back home?

As much as I want to, I don't blame him for Star Wars' Descent into Suckitude... I blame everyone else.

@Crazydogggz:

Fuck Shattered Glass... I trust you're being sarcastic. It's hilarious that all the film nerds trot out this utterly forgettable movie as a defense for the cat that ruined arguably the only original modern myth composed by and for celluloid..

@pureblarney:

No, he gets his fair share of blame...

No matter how much you want to blame the direction, he's still the one that chose to be complicit and make sure his voice sounded like it was whiny and sore from too much cock, with every line delivery...

George didn't ruin anything. He purposely fucked them up so everyone will shell big cash out for the "Special Editions" that are no doubt coming when company profits have leveled off.

God, I love that Pimp.

SHUT UP. She didn't say that. Did she? Wow. No wonder he's giving her the "this bitch is about to get slapped" look. Oh well. At least that wool coat of his costs more than she makes in a week. That should make him happy in the pants area.

@Pay_Me_Or_Pay_Me_No_Attention:
I'm sorry, I'm a big Star Wars geek but... Original Modern Myth? Come on... I bet the EU REALLY pisses you off, then :]

@CakeAndDeath:
I knew I'd open myself up for ridicule by choosing those words; but come on, has there ever been another film that was made just for film that has had the same level of enduring success? Star Wars, love or hate it, started out as flick first. Not a book, not a comic, not a magazine article or videogame...

Rings and Potter were books first...Star Trek, maybe? Matrix?

Over 8 billion dollars generated in sales & merchandise I think qualifies it as a modern myth. If myth is too classy a term, how about epic?

I do not know what this EU is that you speak of...

I'm too busy teaching 6th & 7th graders what to buy at the grocery store so they can make soda balls;

Then I have them go around and sell them as 8 balls to the gullible casts and crews of all the VH1 & MTV reality shows...

I am much too rich and busy from this prosperous enterprise to be reading the further adventures of Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Jeez....I need Hayden Christensen to never be photographed again in any way if such a mundane snap shot in an airport inspires so much animus and pontification about the prequels sucking.

Just the same, he's a total douche bag.

You're totally misreading that expression. It's actually a look of delight and anticipation. He just found out he'd have way more time to spend in the airport restroom.

@jason1007: It's BAPE (Bathing Ape) and it's a Japanese clothing / gadget line.

Re: Star Wars, all I can think of when I see that picture is Eric Foreman on That '70's Show always trying to use the Jedi Mind Trick (or do you....) to get out of a situation.

I was hoping it was a BAPS hat and he was paying respects to New Line's memory and Halle Berry's pre-Oscar star vehicle.

Did she really? I have no idea at what stage of their interaction this picture was taken but I hope her ass got fired if she talked to Hayden (or ANY customer) that way.

And fuck all you haters. He's a good actor and a nice person.
