Are those clips from the entire season's run? Does he save the president in one of the earlier episodes? When are you guys doing a flashback clips episode?

I wonder if this would fair better as a foreign language version with rewritten subtitles? Could you improve the script but leave the action?

Agree with Dr Sub, I gathered that these would most likely be multiple timelines that Bill restarts at the common point.

I wonder about the day after stories for each version? Are there multiple Bill Murrays that continue into each of the 10,000year threads? Feel sad for the douchey ones living on with the consequences of the reset Bill's actions.

Yeah so awesome to hear Ian introduced... and the again at the end. Like a celebrity appearance on Happy Days. Never heard him so quiet.

So Ozception... could it be that Dorothy awakes in a second dream? Who is the architect and what song is the kicker?

How about "the surrogates",  or has someone already done that?

Meta suggestion.

When do we get another episode? Like an unplugged version of DIF, that is with the DVD player unplugged...

Also there is an interview at TheQandA podcast. Pretty much the same territory covered as the IO9 dialogue from yesterday.
Seems he did think about most of this stuff, my favourite idea from IO9 thread was (SPOILER) Kid Blue was Abe's younger self.

Also I was STUNNED how good that 5year old kid was!

And on a VFX side, those keyed shots in the paddock at the end were amazing, so clean and detailed.

Down side, the hover bikes sucked bad. It's sucha  shame, whenever they appeared the physical and digital effects were just so naff. Oh well.

Tears, tears of joy. Forum makes me cry more than the podcast. Thankyou DIF and all who sail in her!

Prometheus, is that a pejorative term?

On topic, I don't work in Hollywood but do edit TV. The days of 20hr shifts are behind me, good riddance. Has anyone heard the fxguide's VFXshow podcast on KingKong? An honest appraisal of FX piece work.

3pointedit is the name 3 point editing is the game, unless a fit fill is required then 4 points are necessary but I prefer avoiding digital trickery and go with the story cut where possible.

Another thing I like alot has been DIF, when all other podcasts have shrunk to a mere shadow, Down In Front commenataries power on for hours at a time. I can spend whole commute days with one inteligent team, instead of a rambling montage of dissasociated skeptical and humorous podcasts. Truly DIF is a power house of a podcast that knows no equal, illuminating Hollywood's darkest secrets. Walking into the steaming, dangerous alleyways of film making so that we don't have to.

Thank you DIF avengers, thank you.

Enough of platitudes.

I have been absorbing podcasts for almost a decade on my way to work as a TV editor, desperately trying to find that story telling edge (or get juicy Star Wars dirt), and make myself look smart in front of my colleagues. It started out with ripping DVD's directors commentaries. Then I was listening to Filmspotting but couldn't take it any longer, I had to have something harder. I found some Geekza, but it was wrapped. Bummer. I needed something that would make the cravings go away.

I went back to 3D animation and VFX, the stuff I couldn't afford to do when I was a kid. Model bashing is great but shooting it is costly. Along came affordable PCs, even more affordable memory and a way to get it out to screen. I went all home brew with Blender 3D. And thought how hard is movie making really? Then I went back to podcasts and found DIF.

What a revelation, really. I have never listened in sync with a DVD but the story deconstruction rarely requires it, and the insight is fantastic. It all seems so obvious but the question that hangs over most episodes, is this. How on Earth do studios still fuck it up?! I mean don't they want to make more money?

Why not give Trey $30mil, just enough to keep him hungry and not waste it above the line. I would go see that a bunch of times.

P.S. I have Trey withdrawals when he doesn't show. Can't we have some canned "Trey wit" for those occasions?

For more signal less noise check out GavRovs blog. He not happy with Ridley, as designer of Moon should know something. http://www.gavinrothery.com/my-blog/

What was spoilery in my post? But I agree

Hey look at this.

Ridley Scott, same as George Lucas.

Killed a perfectly good (2 ep.) franchise with poor prequel.
