I'm psyched as all hell.
Also, we've moved the date to Saturday, instead of Sunday. This way the other-side-of-the-world people have a better ability to stay up late, or wake up early and nap later, if so inclined...and we have a day to recover before going back to work.
Oh yeah. I'm thinking, unless someone objects, that all three commentaries come out on the same day. But yes, these will be official Down in Front commentaries, in addition to the massive livestreaming party event.
Same with people who don't know classical music and John Williams. Or, well, virtually any musician.
That said, I love me some Williams.
Oh.
I guess it's just gonna be the usual whatever's-in-nearby-bottles, then.
What are your interests and skills?
Hey guys. First, if you haven't heard it, here's an audio summary of this thingy. Anyway.
In just a few weeks we'll be celebrating the third anniversary of Down in Front. Since March 2009 we've put out a movie commentary every week (except for one, shut up), and gotten a great community going here at the forums, as well as some great regular participation in the live chatroom during recordings. Earlier this year we started doing another show, The Intermission, a more free-form discussion show about TV, movies, and anything that interests us that week.
Over the last few years of producing the show, it's been gratifying to see the community and fanbase develop and to start seeing comments on Twitter and elsewhere, when a new film releases, that they're looking forward to seeing what we may have to say about it. It's also been frustrating to have to wait for such films to come out on video, months later...or to have comments and opinions to offer, but not enough to fill an entire running commentary.
So we're really excited to announce that as of our third anniversary, moving into year four of Down in Front, we'll be shifting our focus primarily to the discussion format we introduced as the Intermission, but much expanded. Along with the discussion of various film and TV topics - many of them suggested by our forum community (seriously, sign up) - we also plan to experiment with other content such as, well, effing movie reviews, both for new releases in theaters, and classic films that we'd love to talk about but just wouldn't be able to sustain an entire commentary. Dissection and analysis style, of course. Its our thing.
And what about the commentaries? We know that there will always be plenty of films begging to be praised or belittled for their entire running length, and we will continue doing commentaries for films that demand them. Moving into year four, the commentaries will just be less frequent than the weekly schedule we've had.
Leading up to the anniversary on DATE CHANGED: MARCH 10TH, we will continue to be doing weekly live recordings of some of our most-anticipated and in-demand films, culminating in a live marathon recording of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. And yes, it'll be the extended editions. It's going to be a party and you won't want to miss it, so save the date and plan to pop in at some point in the chat to say hi! More details in the weeks to come.
Whether in the form of a running commentary for a film, or the looser discussion format, Down in Front will continue to be a weekly podcast devoted to discussing the movies you love, hate, love to hate and hate to love with the friends in your head. It's been a great ride with all of you, and we're just getting started.
So, questions? Ideas? Suggestions for the epic movies?
Nobody change the way they're listening! It's cool! I just thought the anecdote was funny!
ZIPing.
This is what I have. Click to enlarge.

Kindred spirit. I refer to or quote DLR so much it's literally sad.
I'm down, I dunno about everyone else. Heh. You can do a search for Chris from the front page sorting thingy and find all the Hanel episodes of DIF pretty easily. Kill Bill 1 and 2, UHF, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Mulholland Drive.
Of those, my favorites are the Bills, UHF, and Pirates.
EDIT: Also, I can't hear "White Christmas" without subbing in the lyrics "with ev-ryyy fan-fiilllmmm I down loaaaaaad."
Oh, this guy is my SHIT.
DLR in the hizzouse.
If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.
It's in the "fake midwestern DIF summit" thread, though. THE ONE TIME I change the naming format. Sigh. I confuse everybody.
Thanks / sorry. My fault. I edited the title of that thread a bit.
The default thing is to say "pop in your DVD or Blurry, press play, press pause." Then, later, "get your mouse or remote ready." Mouse meant to mean "if you're watching this on Netflix or something."
No files. It differs episode to episode, usually, but I don't think we've made too many jokes encouraging piracy.
By the way, we did an Intermission during this, and it's up now.
fcw, that puppet show has become my favorite thing ever. Me and two other girls (ha) have been pissing ourselves watching those all night.
While we're on the topic: Armand Hammer. That's his ACTUAL NAME. It's like naming your kid Dove Bar.
Ohhhhhhhh, ARM AND HAMMER. I thought an "armand hammer" was a kind of hammer or something.
Well done, guy.

At my second viewing last night, the sweet old lady in front of me had two visceral reactions I could hear. One was when the gunshot went off next to Bond's head, she JUMPED. The other was the eviscerated cat. She said OH FUCK
That's also affected by Fincher's propensity to have a throw-away character have the last line of their one scene be something tremendously intriguing. Meaningful look. Cut.
Just saw it again. Had some new problems, and some new appreciations. For instance, notice the way Fincher users inserts when he's dealing with James Bond. He uses them as if to say "this is what he was glancing at / observing," they always seem to follow Craig's gaze. Someone will close a door, and Craig will look up, and then it cuts to the very top of a door closing. Things like that.
