Tales Of The Telekinetic

Behind The Scenes: Dead Space - A Talk With Andrew

Interviewer: Hello, Andrew.

Andrew: Hi, uhh...  you don't need to be so formal.

Interviewer: I know, but it just seems better. So today, as we already know, we're going to be talking about Chronicle the movie and what your opinion is. Do you think Chronicle is an accurate movie?

Andrew: No, I don't. They cut out at least half of my footage, misused at least 10% of it, and the flying scenes looked tacky. Not to mention all of Matt's stupid added philosophy jokes. 

Interviewer: So what is the worst part or parts that they got wrong?

Andrew: Umm.... Me and Steve. And also my Mom, they kinda made her in the background and stuff, there's way more footage of her. But like, a lot of tiny details were fake, the store we went to was the wrong one, some of the pranks were different. Mom and Steve actually met, so did Richard and Steve but they never would've put shit like that on a PG-13 sci-fi movie. If everything from my camera was released, it would fucking be an X-rated movie no one would ever watch. 

Interviewer: What were the worst of the small goof ups? And the big ones?

Andrew: Small goof ups.... wrong type of camera for the second one, lots of the outfits Steve and Matt wore, my room. Cause like, at one point they show my room completely clean when it's always dirty. And they took out all of Steve and Matt's clothes from the floor of Steve and I's bedrooms cause we slept over someplace almost every night. Big goof ups... they deleted almost everything on my Mom, the movie makes me look like a psycho, and of course everything between me and Steve, like when Mom met him. And the Seattle damage was more, it was almost an hour of fighting. I don't even know how anyone around survived. And the 30 minute dead space. 

Interviewer: Oh yeah, the "dead space", or 30 minutes where everything you did was completely unknown. You were in the hospital. We already did a chapter on that, but is there anything else you want to add?

Andrew: I took a lot more time, like, looking at Richard and torturing him than I did walking around. Like, there's only so much the cameras show, but I did manage to like, get a camera and film myself. But with every camera, only I can see my footage, nobody else. Ever. You can hear it, but never see it, it's mine. And if I do film you, you're either my friend or my prey. I won't film random people just to film.

Interviewer: So what exactly did Chronicle get right? And overall, do you like the movie?

Andrew: Not really, I mean, it's okay. Just a cheap, straight, loser, Hollywood version of the actual story turned into a PG-13 nightmare with only 40% actually correct footage. But the actors are fucking awesome and look just like us, it's so cool! Not a lot of the stuff was correct and shit, but the bullying was under-exaggerated as true as it was. They got my room right, my house, the rave, most of the flying shit and the diner. The diner was the most accurate since they used the actual place and stuff. So uh.... interview over? I don't like people seeing me talk much. It's already weird with the movie. 

Interviewer: Sure thing. Thanks, Andrew!

Andrew: You're welcome. Oh, and uhh...  dinner tonight? My place?
