I may have said it in another thread, but it's one of those musicals that, as I was watching, I thought couldn't be adapted into a movie. There is a lot of fourth wall breaking: that's the entire structure of the thing, these guys telling their different points of view. It was written to take advantage of the entire format of live theater, and removing it from that either requires massive changes to give the audience the same feel, or just ends up feeling a bit empty.

I wish they would just film more live broadway shows, in front of an audience. That's how they were created to be seen.

Nope. There is an episode, however, where the unit's computer wiz has created a program to guess probability using which colored panties the main character is going to wear that day as a test, and it ends up having real world applications. Also lots of evil plants. (It's actually a rather good show, the comedy relief characters becoming fleshed out as the serious plot lines kick in).

Doesn't invalidate it, but it should make you go over each point more thoroughly. If two people come at an issue with different definitions, they're likely to end up talking past each other, or not realize they actually agree/disagree on certain points.

My favorite of the third wave of films is Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla. Probably mostly due to the female lead, and the one kid who keeps trying to set her father up with said female lead. The humans in Godzilla films often aren't that good, so it made a nice change.

Put a James Bond logo under it just to fuck with people.

That was one of the joys of watching Blake's 7 years after it first aired. Our PBS station just ran all four seasons straight through, and given the number of cast members who were killed at the end of a season the tension really increased as you got the feeling you were getting close to that episode...

S4E08 won't play unless you go to youtube, apparently.

And... Anaconda is funded. Whee!

Well, that's always going to be a factor. If some unknown musician wants money to produce a rock opera, fundraising may be difficult. If RUSH says they need some upfront money, the floodgates will open.
