Some people on the board a while back noticed that in the previews for "The Core" there were 2 versions. In one version of the preview DJ Qualls says "I'm gonna need a supply of kung fu tapes and hot pockets".

Then in another version he says "I'm gonna need a supply of Star Trek tapes and hot pockets".

I just saw a tv spot, and he says "I'm gonna need SpongeBob tapes and hot pockets".


Can they not make up their minds of what is geeky enough?

What channel was it on? It would be interesting if they did different versions for certain demographics.

BTW, hasn't this guy heard of DVD's?

I find it highly suspicious that despite the changing of which tapes DJ Qualls' character requests, his request for Hot Pockets remains the same! Chef America must be paying a lot for this blatant product placement.

He said "Star Trek" when I saw the trailer before Willard....

maybe they ask him to do 3 seperate tasks, leaving him to state what different stuff he'll need for each.

I find it highly suspicious that despite the changing of which tapes DJ Qualls' character requests, HE STILL REQUESTS TAPES! No self respecting geek would want tapes, he needs DVDs.

The superstorms have liquified all DVD's and left us a VHS society!!

AHHHHHHHHH!
Now thats a horror movie.

Anyway, all the trailers I've seen (at different theaters, so its not the same exact trailer reel all the time) have said Star Trek.

Does it matter though, it'll probably not even be in the movie....then we can bitch about how that scene wasn't in the movie.

Sort of like in one of the deleted scenes from the new version of "The Ring". It shows people in a huge video store with not a DVD to be seen....

The reason... the chick in the ring hasn't figured out how to encode her message on a digital format.

I've heard all 3 versions... And none of them make the movie look less crappy.

I think they're just listing alternatives for the movie going audience. After seeing the trailer i didn't want to see "The Core" but i did feel an urge to watch Spongebob tapes. They're probably way better than The Core anyway.

They showed a clip on Conan last night when DJ Qualls was a guest. The official version is something new!

It's:

I need Xena tapes and Hot Pockets

I just caught a new commercial: "I need a better agent and Hot Pockets."

I'm sure DJ said that on the set quite a bit. I'm sure all the actors involved did.

XENA TAPES??!!!!? The joke was old long ago...but that isn't even funny. What, is he a lesbian?

DJ Qualls, a lesbian?

I'm leaning towards yes.

Was xena tapes the final line?

I'd say the "Spongebob tapes and hot pockets" line makes the movie most promising. I wouldn't bother seeing it if he said Star Trek or Kung Fu tapes.

that's what it was when I saw it tonight.

Yup. Saw it as well, and it was Xena tapes. I didn't think that the movie was that bad, if you knew what you were getting yourself into.
