The Martin WooHoodStock Thread

[starlover]

Achaja, you aren't the only one...but I always notice other annoying little things...like a clock that is incorrect because the one scene will, according to the clock, last for a few hours instead of a minute or so.

Yay for Martin pics

*walks of to do more homework*

I want these weeks to be over!!!*pouts*

[Jumble]

You're right.
I appreciate that directors makes these tricks with cameos very gently (however Woohoos wanted to see more Martin), it means they are professionals

They are. Yes, we wood love to see more of Martin........ but I really prefer his DS and MD's, because it's almost entirely him without the 'stars' blocking my view

There was a thing in EDM where Martin had a problem with the floor numbers in the lift. Because the scene was so short, the numbers couldn't be counted down properly, so he did it so that we saw the number 3, then the camera moved a bit so that Daniel's shoulder was blocking the number so we didn't see that it suddenly jumped to 28 Because we all know that the lifts as the SGC don't actually work, don't we? They just change the numbers and then open the doors onto a different scene by moving fake walls about

That's just the sort of 'cheat' that Martin loves to point out Although of course it's not a 'cheat', it's just a very simple but clever way of getting around the problem without most of us even knowing about it

Hehe so you've got good eye Jann
I only see the iris monitors - sometimes closed while in that time iris is opened - but I noticed it only one time

Oh wow, very well done then! Watching stargate we didn't think of such details, right? Good that Martin cares for them for us

He's really very meticulous about getting the detail right. And if it didn't work out the way he wanted, or he isn't happy with something, he always says so. So honest, because really most people woodn't have seen anything wrong

It's great this commentary thing, it's like being taken by the hand and guided through the Stargate and shown exactly how it all works and why things are done the way they are.

And by such an entertaining and informative.......... not to mention gorgeous ..... guide

Well said Jumble!

Guess who fell asleep in the bath

...... and had a dream.......

A few weeks back, this pic .....

.... sparked a discussion because I said something about how giving your man a shave can be sexy..........

Spoiler:

I dreamt that I was at the Sanctuary studios. I'd been watching Martin direct a scene and telling us (there was a group of us, but I didn't know anyone) lots of interesting stuff about the green screen and such. Then we went to see him in his office. There was a lady there introducing us all, and when she said my name Martin said "Ah! I heard you were coming.......... hang on......" He was searching through all the pockets on his shorts, taking out pens, bits of paper, gum, coins etc and putting them on his desk. And I'm thinking "What the...??"

Then he found what he was looking for and said to me "...... so I brought my razor!" and held out one of those 'cut-throat' razors that barbers use He rubbed his hand around his beard and said he'd been letting it grow specially

And then......... the phone rang and woke me up.......... and finally the thing I've been dreading for months happened..........

Spoiler:

Hey Babe, how you doing? (Yes, he calls me 'Babe', despite my constantly reminding him that Babe is a piglet )

Hi Martin! Doing fine, just fell asleep in the bath. Good thing you woke me up, the water's getting cold

*silence*

Michael? You still there?

I'm here....... just wondering who you were talking to.....

Er... what?

Ok, I'm going to hang up and ring you back, and we can both pretend you didn't just call me Martin!

*listens to dialling tone* Ooooooooops!

[Achaja]

you fell asleep in the bath??? Are you crazy! You could drowned!
...
for the razor very interesting dream
dubble for the call
Oops
You think M. gets angry?

Oh, the circumstances are funny - you - taking bath - sleeping - Martin....

[Jumble]

you fell asleep in the bath??? Are you crazy! You could drowned!

No, I'm too tall to drown. Either that or the bath is too small.........

for the razor very interesting dream
dubble for the call
Oops
You think M. gets angry?

Which 'M'?

Which of course is the problem

He's not angry, just surprised to hear my sleepy voice calling him 'Martin'

I'm only surprised he hasn't heard it before.........

And at least I didn't tell him off for ruining what could have turned into my best dream yet

Oh, the circumstances are funny - you - taking bath - sleeping - Martin....

Although I now have a few more wrinkles than usual

[EH-T]

That's an interesting thought to send me to bed with

btw, what does your name mean, if you don't mind me asking?
Edit: Time to sleep, Woodnight (((((WooHoos)))))

Not at all. I'm a big AT fan and I started lurking in the Sam's a great character thread. I'm also Canadian. My name is a bit of a play on both those things. The stereotype is that Canadians say "eh" a lot although we don't really. "Eh" is pronounced like the letter "A" so "EH-T" sounds like Amanda's initials "AT". Amanda asked us at lunch about our online names so I had to explain it to her as well. However, it was funny because SamJackShipLover was too embarrassed to give her name so PengYn yelled it out.

What is the origin of "jumble"?

He even admits when he makes mistakes or if he thinks he directed a scene poorly. Love his commentaries, especially those with AT. I'm hoping we get a lot of that combo for the Sanctuary DVDs.

Ah, that makes perfect sense now I say it out loud

Er, Jumble? Hmmm. Long boring story..... I used to play a lot of pc games, and used my initials (JPM) as my player name. One day I mistyped it as JUM, so I became JUM. Most games, if you want to start again without deleting your finished game, they make you choose another name. So I started adding different letters.... Jump, Jumper, Jumpster..... one day I ran out of p's, so I asked Suz (daughter) for a suggestion, and she said why not 'Jumble' because it fitted me she said

So from then on I was Jumble..... my grandsons always make a point of calling me that when I see them at the school (loudly ) or in front of their friends. They find it amusing

I actually prefer it to my real name, which I dislike intensely, so I'm pretty much Jumble to most people

He even admits when he makes mistakes or if he thinks he directed a scene poorly. Love his commentaries, especially those with AT. I'm hoping we get a lot of that combo for the Sanctuary DVDs.

He does, which I think speaks volumes about him both professionally and personally

I actually can't remember the last time I watched an ep of his without the commentary......... in fact I can't remember when I last watched an ep that wasn't his

You remind me that I should listen and watch and episode soon again!

Ah cheating that's good And Martin should point it out...he should be proud of it! and we need to know it!

The lifts don't work I thought the SGC was real I always find it cool how they direct everything and it's fun to find out how stuff fits together!

He even admits when he makes mistakes or if he thinks he directed a scene poorly. Love his commentaries, especially those with AT. I'm hoping we get a lot of that combo for the Sanctuary DVDs.

I like that as well. That's a good characteristic IMHO!

The commentaries with AT are really good; my favs' actually!

*waves to Jann* Having a good week-end?

I wonder where Sarai has got to? Last we saw of her she was off to the Ball, and I think that was Friday night?

Maybe she lost her glass slipper and the Prince found it and tracked her down and whisked her off to his castle

No? Ok

[Luvnjoe]

Wood afternoon, Woohoos!

[Jumble]

Hey LJ

Did you enjoy your week-end? How's Mom?
