a diary from an angel in disguise: August 2007

Time to say goodbye (stockholm piece of jimmy macelroy)
Sarah:
Quando sono solasogno all'orizzontee mancan le parole,si lo so che non c'è lucein una stanza quando manca il sole,se non ci sei tu con me, con me.Su le finestremostra a tutti il mio cuoreche hai accesso,chiudi dentro mela luce chehai incontrato per strada.

Time to say goodbye. -- Con te partirò.Paesi che non ho maiveduto e vissuto con te,adesso sì li vivrò.Con te partiròsu navi per mariche, io lo so,no, no, non esistono più,it's time to say goodbye. -- con te io li vivrò.

Andrea:
Quando sei lontanasogno all'orizzontee mancan le parole,e io si lo soche sei con me, con me,tu mia luna tu sei qui con me,mio sole tu sei qui con me,con me, con me, con me.

Time to say goodbye. -- Con te partirò.Paesi che non ho maiveduto e vissuto con te,adesso sì li vivrò.Con te partiròsu navi per mariche, io lo so,no, no, non esistono più,

Both:
con te io li rivivrò.Con te partiròsu navi per mariche, io lo so,no, no, non esistono più,con te io li rivivrò.Con te partirò

Io con te.

Continuity: When Will Ferrell (Chazz) goes to see Jenna Fischer (Katie) in the hotel room, the door behind him goes from open to closed to open again.
Factual errors: The newspaper story about Stranz, Fairchild and Katie's parents' death is dated "Sunday, March 14, 1987". March 14, 1987 was a Saturday, not a Sunday.
Miscellaneous: Several characters refer to the National Figure Skating Association as "the International Figure Skating Association." However, all the logos and signs say "National Figure Skating Association" or "National Skating Association."
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The characters appear hell-bent on ruining their skates. In a scene where Coach is sharpening skates, he is grinding the blade nearly perpendicular to the skating direction, which would destroy the blade. Also, Stranz and Chazz's chase at the end would have rendered their skates useless.
Factual errors: When the skaters' scores are posted on the TV, the Van Waldenbergs are listed by their first names, but all of the other skating teams are listed by last name. It should have read Van Waldenberg/Van Waldenberg instead of Stranz/Fairchild.
Continuity: When Jimmy McElroy is stranded by his adopted father, the limousine pulls into the snow on the shoulder of the road. In the next shot, Jimmy watches the limo pull away, but there are no tire tracks in the snow.
Continuity: When Chazz gets onto the escalator, his blades get stuck in the grooves of the step. But when Stranz gets onto the escalator Chazz's feet are pointing outwards and the blades are not in the grooves.
Continuity: During the first pairs awards scene, a woman is seen offering a red bottle of champagne to Will Ferrell's character. In the ensuing shot, the same woman can be seen bringing the same bottle to the characters once again, in the background.
Continuity: When Chazz deliberately rips the shoulder of his costume to show Jimmy his tattoo, we can see that the material is fully ripped and not re-attachable. Seconds later Chazz's costume is fully intact.
Continuity: Just after Chazz and Jimmy are arrested at the ice show, Coach (Craig T. Nelson) sees it on the news and reverses the newscast playback with his Tivo remote. The reversed audio does not match what the newscaster said immediately before he began reversing the playback (the reversed audio says "and disturbing the peace; they are awaiting arraignment", then some garbled speech).
Miscellaneous: Will and Amy watch video of Chazz and Jimmy skating. Several seconds of footage is shown, but the on-screen timer never advances.
Continuity: When Chazz Michael Michaels is kidnapped by Stranz Van Waldenberg, Stranz hits him over the head with a hammer on the right side of his head. For the remainder of the movie the mark left by the hammer is on the left side of Chazz's head.
Continuity: While Chaz and Jimmy are practicing the lotus move, Jimmy's skate cuts Chaz's leg through his costume and into his skin. In the following scene where the coach is asking Jimmy and Chaz if they want to continue practicing, the cut in the skin and in the costume is no longer visible.
Revealing mistakes: When the stalker is showing the rule book, you can see that is actually a music book.
Errors in geography: You can't see the Olympic Stadium in Montreal from Habitat 67. It is also on the wrong side.
Continuity: When Chazz is being chased by Stranz, he has one ice skate on and looks back at Stranz. In the next scene both skates are on and Chazz is able to skate away
Continuity: When Jimmy sits down for the finale of his skating routine in Stockholm, his position is in the lower part of the tournament logo in the skating rink. But when he stands, he is already in the center of the tournament logo.
Continuity: When Chazz Michael Michaels pulls himself out of the frozen waterway after falling in at the end of the chase scene with Stranz, his hair is wet but his coat and gloves are clearly quite dry.
Revealing mistakes: Stranz and Fairchild are supposedly winning the gold medal with only Chazz and Jimmy left to skate. However, when standing on the winner's podium at the end, they are actually standing the 3rd place position meaning they were only guaranteed a silver medal. Second place is on the right hand side of the first place spot and third place is on the left hand side with Olympic podiums.

Jon Heder broke his ankle while training to ice-skate.
1980 Olympian Lisa Marie Allen was not only the assistant skating choreographer on this movie, but she also appears in the film as the blond "Sweater Mom" who gets licked on the face by Will Ferrell's character during his Stockholm solo.
Will Ferrell's made a cameo in Wedding Crashers as "Chazz Reinhold". His character in Blades of Glory is named "Chazz Michael Michaels".
According to the flags being raised, the four medalists at Worlds were from the United States, South Korea, and Sweden. South Korea has never medaled in men's singles at the World Championships, and Sweden has not medaled in that discipline since 1929.
All of the scenes at the World Figure Skating Championships were shot at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.
Many of the lifts Chazz and Jimmy perform are dance lifts, not pairs lifts. These are not illegal in pairs competition and have been performed by many pairs skaters in international competition, and therefore would not be something Scott Hamilton had never seen before. (Unless Hamilton has never watched ice dance.) Despite what Coach claims, there is no specific lift named a "dance lift". Rather, the term refers to a variety of lifts done in ice dancing.
Will Arnett and Amy Poehler (who play siblings in the film) are actually married.
The van Waldenberg name was taken from the family name of one of the writers.
The writers claim that "88.773% of Will Ferrell's dialogue is improvised or changed in some way to suit his persona."
The coach in the movie is played by Craig T. Nelson who also starred as Coach Hayden Fox in the sitcom "Coach."
The hotel that Jimmy and Chazz stay in when they're in Montreal is actually a famous building called "Habitat 67", designed by Moshe Safdie in honor of Canada's centennial. In reality it is not a hotel, but a privately owned condominium complex.
Chazz Michael Michaels' skating style was inspired by the skating style of Elvis Stojko.
For a hint to where Coach got the idea of two men ice dancing, note the stained plastic artwork in the kitchen of his cabin.
In a webisode online, Johnny Weir comments on the fact that Jimmy and him have the same style. The peacock outfit was actually based on Weir's swan outfit from the 2004 Winter Olympics. Both of the costumes incorporated the skaters' arms as the necks and the hands as the beaks of the birds.
Ben Stiller was considered for the role of Chazz Michael Michaels but he decided the character was too much like other roles he had played.
Real skaters making cameos include, Sasha Cohen, Scott Hamilton, Peggy Fleming, Brian Boitano, Dorothy Hamill, Nancy Kerrigan, Kyoko Ina, Yuka Sato, Jamie Sale, and David Pelletier
Due to problems with the 6.0 system, Chazz and Jimmy are forced to share a gold medal, a reference to the 2002 Olympic Winter Games figure skating scandal.
Stranz and Fairchild plot to injure Chazz "below the knee and above the ankle", references Tonya Harding's attack on Nancy Kerrigan.
The Iron Lotus is a parody of the Pamchenko from The Cutting Edge.
Adult film star Avy Scott makes a brief appearance as a sex addict at Chazz Michaels' help seminar.
The "loophole" at the center of the movie does not actually exist. International Skating Union regulations state that a pair team on the senior (Olympic) level is made up of a man and a lady (note that "lady" is the official terminology for a female skater).
Both Jon Heder and Will Ferrell learned how to ice skate for the movie. They trained extensively with the Michele Kwan's coach Sarah Kawahara.
Directed by the same duo who are responsible for the Geico "Caveman Commercials."
Shipped to theaters under the name "Partners"
Jon Heder spent two years in Japan as a Mormon missionary, and learned to speak Japanese fluently. He showcases this talent during the press conference when he responds flawlessly to a reporter's question posed in Japanese.
Jon Heder came up with the idea for the peacock costume after watching Johnny Weir's "Swan" routine. He apparently made an offhand suggestion and was surprised to find that the costume was being created for him
During the opening of the movie, when Jimmy is discovered skating as a child, the song that is playing is "Time to Say Goodbye (Con te partirò)", a duet by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli, which was also featured during an ice skating routine performed by Katarina Witt in Ronin (1998).
Jimmy: So, Coach, I was thinking about the music for our routine. Coach: Oh, really? Chazz: We're gonna dance to one song, and one song only: "Lady Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas. "What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I’m a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps." Jimmy: [disgusted] I'm not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don't even know what that means. Chazz: No one knows what it means, but it's provocative... Jimmy: No, it's not, it's gross... Chazz: ...It gets the people going!
Hector: I totally want to cut off your skin and wear it to my birthday... It's coming up...
Chazz: I swear to God, I couldn't love a human baby as much as I love this comb.
Chazz: This guy could not hold my jock sweat. Jimmy: I could hold it all day long, try me! Chazz: Maybe I will. Jimmy: Maybe you should. Chazz: You challenging me, princess? Jimmy: I'm not inviting you to the Skating Federation's annual Christmas party. Chazz: Then bring it on! Jimmy: It is on!
Jimmy: Get out of my face. Chazz: I'll get inside your face.
Chazz: [while Jimmy is giving a speech] That’s retarded
Jimmy: I see you got fat. Chazz: I see you still look like a fifteen year old girl, but not hot.
Jimmy: Watch my icy hot super slide. Chazz: Do it.
Hector: [to Jimmy after he's told him of a loophole in the rules of competitive figure skating that will allow him to skate again] I'm still going to kill you someday.
Coach: You're the girl. Jimmy: What? Chazz: You're my pretty lady, MacElroy. Jimmy: Wait, why? Coach: Because you whine like one! [turns to Chazz] Coach: And no one can lift your fat ass, you're on a diet starting now.
Chazz: Personal philosphy? Clothing optional.
Jimmy: I don't share rooms. Chazz: I don't share SHIT...
Chazz: Whoever invented rope was a real a-hole!
Stranz Van Waldenberg: Remember how they used to be alive?
Chazz: Did you carve up any ice... with your weiner?
Chazz: I'm a sex addict. It's my cross to bear. It's a real disease with doctors, and medicine, and everything!
Chazz: I'm a sex addict, and I'm attracted to women.
Chazz: Troubled childhood? If you consider a 9 year old kid with a 35 year old girlfriend troubled.
Chazz: [talking to the press] This is my brother. And this is my brother's new girlfriend, and she is NOT a whore!
Jimmy: I'm getting sick, you smell like aftershave and taco meat!
Hector: I sent you a cup of my blood! Did you get my blood?
Chazz: [to Jimmy's voice mail] If we went to a Halloween party dressed as Batman and Robin, I'd go as Robin. That's how much you mean to me...
Chazz: I think I see the Virgin Mary! Jimmy: No, that's not her.
Chazz: Mind-bottling isn't it? Jimmy: Did you just say mind-bottling? Chazz: Yeh, mind-bottling. You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle?
Chazz: Nancy Kerrigan. You an official here? Cause you've officially given me a boner!
Chazz: Ahh, my nutsack!
Chazz: Don't make me kill her!
Stranz Van Waldenberg: Not only did we embarrass Marky Mark, we let down the Funky Bunch.
[In front of enormous "Capture The Dream" sign] Chazz: Let's capture the dream. Jimmy: Capture the-wow I love it. Where'd you come up with that? Chazz: I have no idea where I came up with that. Jimmy: Cool. Chazz: Let's kick some ice.
Chazz: She's as cold as the ice she skates on. She's like dry ice. No, wait! She's colder than that. What's colder than dry ice? Jimmy: I don't know Chazz: I'll tell you what is, Oksana.
Chazz: We love you Denver! City by the Bay!
Chazz: [shoots fire out of his fingers at end of performance] Jimmy: Was the fire really necessary? Chazz: Ask THEM.
Chazz: Better step aside homeschool, there's a new Sheriff in town.
Chazz: [Referring to his program] I hope you’ve brought your silver polish, MacElroy, 'cause that was gold. Jimmy: That was disgusting. Chazz: THAT, young man, is how babies are made.
Stranz Van Waldenberg: Who's gonna save you now, Chazz? Is Little Lord MacLeroy gonna come and meet ya down here? [Chazz flips him the bird]
Chazz: I permanently call shotgun. Jimmy: You do not get shotgun every time!
Stranz Van Waldenberg: [referring to Jimmy and Chazz] Those two are nothing but a couple of freaks.
Katie Van Waldenberg: Great! That'll give me time to get my jugs waxed.
Grublets On Ice Manager: Are you drunk? Chazz: No, but this oughta do it [smashes open a bottle of liquor and drinks] Grublets On Ice Manager: I'd fire you... if you weren't so goddamn beautiful out there. [pause] Grublets On Ice Manager: You smell like urine. Chazz: A lot? Hector: Jimmy! I sent you a cup of my blood! Did you get my blood? Jimmy!
Coach: You getting a lot of satisfaction from those 15 dollar hookers? Chazz: I am NEVER satisfied! It's a curse.
Fairchild Van Waldenberg: Nothing breaks up a team faster than... Stranz Van Waldenberg: Herpes!
Jimmy: You ruined my dreams! Chazz: Dreams? Shit, I haven't had one of those in years. Jimmy: Zip it Chazz, just zip it, or I'll punch you in your crap-lousy face! Chazz: Hey, this ends tonight! Jimmy: It's daytime, you douche!
Random Guy: You mean, that blonde chick's a dude?
Hector: It's embarrassing stalking a has-been.
Chazz: I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to fall asleep cause I miss you Jimmy, and I don't wanna miss a thing.
Co-Anchor: Jimmy may be renowned for his personal hygiene, Scott, but after that performance, he's starting to reek... Of gold.
Darren MacElroy: [referring to the fans] They may look cute and innocent, but they're nothing but a beehive for germs and bacteria.
Chazz: Hey, MacElroy, was that your routine or a performance of Cirque de So Lame? Besides, you're too late; they already handed out the girls' medals this morning. Jimmy: Shut up, Michaels. That was textbook execution. Same scores I beat you with in Oslo. Chazz: I was on quaaludes, I don't even REMEMBER Oslo.
Co-Anchor: [Describing Chazz] Chazz Michael Michaels: an ice-devouring sex tornado.
Co-Anchor: [about Chazz] The only skater to win four national championships and an adult film award.
Chazz: [referring to his program] Eat THAT, MacElroy. Jimmy: Those were the same scores I got, Einstein. We're tied! Chazz: You're high.
Sports Anchor: [Referring to their medals] And how heavy is that gold around your necks? Fairchild Van Waldenberg: Scott, this may be solid gold, but to us it's lighter than air, because dreams never weigh you down. Stranz Van Waldenberg: No. Dreams are in your sleep.
Chazz: [backstage at "Grublets On Ice"] I hate my life.
Chazz: You're living in the past, Sammi. Me and the Woodland Fairies, we're living in the HERE and NOW.
Chazz: [drunk while performing in "Grublets On Ice"] Hey! Hey, you little forest creatures! None of you sons of bitches try to be heroes! Chazz: [drunk while performing in "Grublets On Ice"] I just threw up in here, people. That's the reality. Just another layer to the legend. I am nothing but a human onion! In fact, we all a... Ugh, encore! [begins throwing up again]
Chazz: [the crowd is booing and throwing garbage onto the ice] Oh, bring it on! Let it rain down on me!
Coach: Figure skating? Give it up, Jimmy! It's like a cruel bitch mother!
Chazz: Two men skating? That's a riot. A laugh riot. Coach: I don't see what's so funny. Chazz: If you were as drunk as me, you would.
Chazz: What're you, the rug doctor? Jimmy: Maybe I am. Chazz: Well, I'm the rug MASTER. Jimmy: What does that even mean?
Jimmy: [Jimmy walks in on Chazz and Katie getting intimate] Y-y-y-you sex demon! You sex fiend! Chazz: This isn't what it looks like. [Grabs Katie's breast] Jimmy: Impure! Impure! [Runs out of the room] Katie Van Waldenberg: Jimmy, wait! Chazz: Brother man!
Stranz Van Waldenberg: [realizing he's about to lose the gold medal to Chazz and Jimmy] It's over. All the endorsements, everything gone. Oh my God, I can't get a real job; it'll kill me!
Chazz: [a the Figure Skating Association hearing] Maxim Magazine, last issue: "Chazz Michael Michaels IS figure skating!" BOOM!
Darren MacElroy: [watching a young Jimmy skate at an orphanage] I'll take him.
Chazz: Help yourself to the Mane n' Tail all you want, but don't even look at the Verticoli...
Jimmy: Dude, your hand's gotta be on top. Chazz: No way, the girl's goes on top. Chazz: Yeh, ergo, chick. Jimmy: I'm not the girl, I'm stronger! Chazz: No, I'M stronger, and don't have a vagina.
Co-Anchor: These two put the "bone" in Zamboni.
Chazz: [while attempting the Iron Lotus] I swear to God, if you cut my head off...
Chazz: The night is a very dark time for me. Jimmy: It's dark for everyone, moron! Chazz: Not for Alaskans or dudes with night-vision goggles.
Hector: He likes food and dreams and whispers... his favorite movie is Short Circuit... and Fried Green Tomatoes.
Hector: I wanna wear the gold medal... naked.
Coach: What do you guys have that all other teams don't have? Chazz: Twin dongs?
Darren MacElroy: I'm un-adopting you. Jimmy: What? Darren MacElroy: Well, legally I'm disowning you.
Jimmy: Hi, you've reached Jimmy, if you can dream it, you can do it!
Jimmy: I call top. Chazz: Sorry, I already called it in my head... Jimmy: No, you can't do that, that doesn't count. Chazz: Yes it does.
Chazz: It makes my hair shine like Orion's Belt out on the ice.
Chazz: Chazz Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy *are* figure skating. [shouts and raises left arm] Chazz: Boom!
Chazz: I am never satisfied! It's a curse...
Chazz: But I remember Boston, and that victory was as sweet as the cream pie for which the town was named.
Jimmy: They're laughing at us. Chazz: Hey. They laughed at Louis Armstrong when he said he was gonna go to the moon. Now he's up there, laughing at them.
Darren MacElroy: Banned for life. That's a long time.
Chazz: I see you have learned to work the Google on the internet machine.
