According to Jacob Cote, the plan is to film "most of Steven M. Paquin's remaining scenes, at a park in Alexandria, VA" this coming weekend, February 27 - March 1. For being just a supporting actor, Mr. Paquin is sure in a superfluous amount of scenes. Allegedly, "they're all gold, and these scenes will be the cream of the crop." That is, of course, how Mr. Paquin envisions it. Nicholas Cote was far more pessimistic:
"Whatever we film, and whenever we film it, all I know for sure is that it will be terrible."
It is unclear if this is just because none of the three co-creators really know what they are doing or of because of the economic situation. Last time filming took place, Mr. Jacob Cote explained that because of the economic situation they had to operate with a "skeleton crew." Mr. Nicholas Cote would not clarify if they or the economy was to blame for everything being terrible, but he did add that he was planning on "ask[ing] Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, but" decided not to because "[Secretary Geithner] can't even get his taxes right." Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Jacob Cote stated:
"The economy is even worse. But we didn't get a cut of the 'stimulus.' Thanks, Savior Obama."
Mr. Paquin claimed he would "foot the bill with [his] obscene amount of money generated through [his] business ventures," but it should be noted that Mr. Paquin is a college student; therefore, by definition he is poor because he is probably spending money to fund a sewer of no morals.
Regarding how much filming remains, fans studio executives, the honoree Rachel Paquin, and probably everyone else except the co-creators are worried about whether or not this film will completed for its projected premiere on June 7, 2009.
"After this weekend, the filming should be approximately 2/3 completed. The movie will definitely be ready for June 7. That is not the projected premiere date; that IS the premiere date."
This according to Mr. Jacob Cote, who, according to Mr. Nicholas Cote in a previous report, cannot properly run a filming schedule. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Mr. Nicholas Cote has broken ranks with the co-creators. While Mr. Jacob Cote is fearlessly trekking forward with production, and Mr. Paquin is obviously not paying attention, Mr. Nicholas Cote admitted that:
"They tell me it'll be ready. I have my doubts. Sorry, Rachel."
Definitely a serious blow, since Mr. Nicholas Cote, though certainly an amateur filmmaker, has the most education in film making.
Aside from 2 - 1 third of filming remaining, other setbacks include a lack of a title. When asked if a title had been selected within the past week, Mr. Jacob Cote responded curtly stating that "[he] still [had] no comment on the title," and asking us to "stop asking [him] that question and get a new hobby." Mr. Paquin revealed that one of the titles they did try out was "The Greatest Movie Ever", but ultimately, "those other two yellow bellied cowards [Mr. Jacob Cote and Mr. Nicholas Cote] thought it would piss off [Miss Paquin] too much."
In addition to the title, there is also post production, which within Hollywood circles, is regarded as the most grueling and time consuming part of the production process. According to Mr. Jacob Cote, preliminary editing has already begun, and he "will continue doing the easy editing," while "later, Mr. Paquin will do the difficult editing." Mr. Paquin, doing something difficult. We smell disaster, and so does Mr. Nicholas Cote.
"Some shoddy editing has begun. George Lucas is a better editor than our people."
Even though Mr. Jacob Cote maintains that his last film in collaboration with Mr. Paquin, "Nick: A Talkie", was an "Oscar caliber production," and that Rachel's Graduation Gift will be just as good, early analysis indicates that Rachel's Graduation Gift will miss the Oscar train and head straight to the Razzies.

Not to take away from the filming issues re: schedule, title, and timing, but it is very important that we all note that as of today, February 24, 2009, Mt. Paquin is no onger a teen-ager, and is only 1 year away from , "Your cheapest scotch on the rocks, hold the ice," an event that I certainly want to witness.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sue
Excuse the typo, MR. Paquin!
Yeah, happy birthday and thanks or that serious {ly funny} update. As far as Sue goes, don't ask her to proofread either because she missed [l]onger, in addition to the most egregious error of Mt. vis a vie Mr. I use the word vis a vie here to pay hommage to your French ancestry and throw in another word just to show off.
Please reserve a chair for me at that celebratory event....the one where you order a cheap scotch on the rocks...and I'm guessing followed up by a glass of white zinfandel.
Best,
Kevin (& Charlie, too)
