After much demand and many, many emails I've decided to make a FAQ page. Believe it or not, I answer every email I recieve and yeah, it gets tiring to write the same thing over and over again. Not to mention the fact that I just type too fast and make to many tyops typos. So just to save us all some time let me do a run down of some frequently asked questions.
About the Movie
What is the SSBSTS? Bam mentions it early in the film::
More like what is it. Switch Stance Back Slide Tail Slide
What is Sweet Lou's last name? ::
Singer. You can catch it at the end of the movie before the team hits the ramps.The annoucer calls out all their names in full.
About the Actors
Has any of the cast worked together before or after Grind?:: For sure, Adam and Jennifer both appeared in the 2005 summer blockbuster "Mr and Mrs Smith". They didn't interact on screen however.
Does Vince ever play serious roles? :: He did in "Firewall". You won't believe it's him. He made me proud with his bad ass-ness.
Is Vince Vieluf on Madtv?:: No. That is Ike Barinholtz. The two favor somewhat at first glimpse but if you watch them both long enough you won't believe that you thought that they'd looked alike. I was shocked myself at first when channel surfing one day and I spotted the guy.
Is Adam Brody single?:: Sorry my manic teen boppers. Adam is rumored to be dating or to have been with his O.C. costar that plays 'Summer'. However, word on the street is that they have since split.
Is Mike Vogel single?:: Are you crazy??!?! No. he's been happily married to his lovely wife, Courtney, for a good while now. Congrads on that by the way.
Is there any hope for Vince then? is Vince married?:: Wishy-washy subject. He is for sure in a serious relationship with a envy-licious girlfriend. I don't know the status of the marriage thing though, But to tell the truth, don't hold your breath waiting for them to split. I just don't have the heart to ask so I think we should all move on.
Do the actors have pets?:: Yeah. Vince has a cat named Groovy and Mike has two pugs.
Is Adam Brody sarcastic in real life? Is he really that big of a smartass?:: Hmmmm, I wouldn't complain if he were. He does seem to play those roles a lot doesn't he? well, you can't really tag him as anything. I don't know him personally so I can't really say, sorry.
I heard Adam Brody was in "The Ring". Was he? I don't remember him in it:: Why yes he was! It wasn't a major role, but he was at the funeral for the young teenage girl that passed away in the beginning of the movie. He has a speaking line. He sort of points the reporter/leading lady in the way of the video tape.
About the Site
How long did it take you make this site? ::
Well seeing at how it'll never really be 'complete', I guess I can give you a rough time of about a week continuously. The first layout was made in 24 hours but it had not content. So with about 2 or 3 hours after school everyday I managed to collect a few things. It totals to about a week (168 hours) to get the site completely updated as far as layouts go.
Why doesn't your site have more about the movie? ::
Grind stuff I actually hard to find. It's not exactly Lord of the Rings. I try hard though. I put as much stuff about the movie I could find. There is still plenty I have ideas to do, But I just haven't completed or uploaded them. I'm lazy like that. And I have dial-up so...
Why does it take so long for the pages to load? ::
It is a matter of the page and your browser. Gallery pages of course take a good second, but other pages should actually load rather quickly. I'm trying to keep these pages as basic as possible, but if you have any problems just email me. I'll break the page down or something.
Some of the links don't work. ::
When links don't work for a few minutes, then I am working on that page and it'd be back online after a few minutes or so. If the page doesn't work for days, then let me know. That's a big problem.
What do you mean the site will never really complete? ::
Well there are always new things I could add or update. The skate teams, new screencaps, scripts, quotes, photo fun...things like that. I can't be satisfied (and neither can viewers) with just the content I have now.
Why do you have a star shift on the index? It takes forever to go. ::
Cause I want to and I'm sorry it goes slow on your computer, it loads just fine for me and other people.
Can I use your pictures? ::
Sure. Just make sure they are not watermarked by 'Adorkable Adam'. Then no, you can't use those. But if you download like more than twenty and use them on your site, I just ask that you let me know. For personal use and editing, I could care less.
Why is there just a just a Vince gallery and no Mike or Adam? ::
Because 1. I forgot the Vince one was even there and 2. I forgot to find pics of the other guys. Don't worry, they'll be there...someday soon. Actaully they are there now. Go look.
Can you add some more interactive things? ::
ABSOLUTELY! As soon as I realized how many people actually come and visit, that idea crossed my mind quiet a few times. Message boards, chat rooms, whatever I can manage to get control of yes, I will add it.
About/For the Creator
Do you know any of the guys for real? ::
face to face, no. Email and myspace and all that yadda ho hum yes. I won't say which but he's a great guy.
Will you share his email?
No because I respect his privacy.
Who is Nataley? ::
Nataley was co-coder. She helped with a lot of the HTML and JAVA stuff when the site first started.
Do you do hosting? ::
I can't host, sorry. I'm already a hostee. Talk to Gertie about that.
How many times HAVE you watch Grind? ::
I saw it in the theatre (1), rented it with some friends twice (3) and then after I got the movie I lost count. Maybe about fifty times so far.
Who is your favorite character? ::
Without a doubt MATT. He's just so carefree and downright cute. I'm just a HUGE Vince Vieluf fan so...yeah. My heart melts for him.
Who is your least favorite chararter? ::
Hmm...that's a hard one. Maybe Jamie. I only say that cause I agree with Matt about girls tying the team down. But mostly maybe Jimmy Wilson. He seemed like a bum at the end of the movie. Not very enthused.
Do you skateboard? :: Not very well.
