I can haz chatroom?

*Poof*

I'm sure we'll do Right Stuff eventually; don't know if we'll ever do From the Earth to the Moon, as much as I love it and as big of an influence as it's been, I don't know if I have twelve some hours of space talk in me (let alone anyone else), especially since the basis of most of what I know is from Earth to the Moon and the book it was based on, A Man on the Moon.

A couple choice episodes might be fun though, I'd love to do That's All There Is; it'd be great to introduce people to the coolness incarnate that is the crew of Apollo 12.

Just read Chapter 7, where Harry shows Draco pictures of the Apollo program and explains to him the power of scientific progress.

I'm just going to go ahead and pretend that this is the actual Harry Potter, if that's cool with everyone.

Oh?

They're in the dick room. Seriously guys, it's crazy in there.

Inquiring minds want to know...

...did you plug us?

I'm not sure what exactly you want us to say. It's a movie a guy made for seven something grand. It's an indie science fiction do-it-yourself film. The story is such and such and such and such (copy and paste from whatever website you prefer).

Would you like our thoughts on it as a movie and a story? Because we have that. In podcast form.

It's a notable film of modern cinema. One we feel deserves some attention. If you value our judgment in these areas, then check it out. If not, *shrug*

It is a remarkable anomaly. Every movie the man has made has "absent father" issues and yet Close Encounters has a father actively abandoning his family as a completely incidental and uncommented on aspect of the plot.

I saw it at the New Bev not too long ago (no one ever comes to see old movies with me), but it was the extended cut or some such. I was amazed to see all these additional scenes from Truffuat's and the government's point of view that completely destroys the suspense of the gas mask scene and AND show the INSIDE of the spaceship at the end. Amazed I tell you, amazed.

No, no, it's Mike's idea. Too many cooks and all that.

With regards to adapting stage works for the screen, Sydney Lumet talks about filming "12 Angry Men" in his book, "Making Movies" by using lenses, composition, staging, and so forth to tell the story.

Don't have it in front of me to quote, but well worth the read.
