Yeah, Vermeer is a really odd guy.

No but seriously, listening back.. maybe we could have edited out thew hole "shit on balloon animals" segment. It got kinda... strange. Apologies, I blame it on Jetlag and nervoursness in prepratation for talking in front of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences the next morning.

Thanks for the hospitality Teague, Chloe and Trey.

Awesome as always.

Next time we do a movie Trey may actually *like*

/Z

I do have a Teague in my phone, and unless you changed it since 2010 it should work....

One detail, some time - undefined when - between e.g. 6PM and midnight.... I probably need to eat something Maybe we could do a post-recording (or pre-recording, either works for me!) trip to some "insert the local eating thing you want to subject poor zap to here", like e.g. in-and-out burgers or whatever

(Note: Freddie Wong already introduced me to Churros. LOL. No need to do that.)

But I'll touch base later today, mkay?

Is Trey on for an evening Dark Crystal evening tonight then? The movie isn't terribly long, so I don't think it will be that much of an ordeal. And the better you guys can keep me awake, well... the better

/Z

Really? I read that as Walt making sure it's Jessie that puts the bullet in him to put him out of his misery.... to activate him.... the same way Jane's death was to Activate Jessie...

/Z

Teague, what time suits you?

/Z

So... what time? How? Where?

/Z

So aaanyway... are we doing this, or are we not?

I'll be in the Best Western Hollywood Hotel starting from late Tuesday night...

Best Western Hollywood Plaza Inn Hotel
2011 North Highland Avenue,
Hollywood CA 90068

I have no idea if this is near or far from WYDM microphones or not

/Z

So I rewatched the pilot the other day, to see where this ride started. Does anyone recall what happened to the video tape walt records in the first few seconds? Where he tells his family he loves them and whatnot. If nothing was done to that in the series (I can't remember) I bet Skyler will find it after Walt is dead in Trey's explosion, or something?

However, the flash forward is very puzzeling to me.

/Z

Ok, whatever, wasn't the point. The point being... it's one of the few movies in a style where most people would be tempted to put in a human or two (e.g. "Labyrinth") but Henson didn't. And I'm happy for it....!

Okay? Better?

Though of course there are borderline shots (notably the one with Jen running from behind) that is clearly a child in a costume...

So.... are we doing this?

I don't want to inconveniate y'all. If you can't you can't. Just let me know sooner rather than later!

But Wednesday next week would be when I a) have (some) time and b) need to be kept awake . . . unless my schedule changes. Which... it may. Sadly.

/Z

Trey, I was hoping not to have to use this line on you but... "Those aren't puppets, those are marionettes"

But I give you "meet the feebles".

/Z

Uhm... not so much, no

/Z

Okay, screw the beer. I don't like it anyway.

Mineral water is fine

So, let me float a retarded idea. Wednesday, whenever you have time (probably the evening, with me zoned out into Jet Lag land) ... we do a WAYDM for the "Dark Crystal"?

But only if Trey can, of course.

I've wanted Trey to do Dark Crystal since the dawn of DiF. It happens to be one of my favorite movies...

Just an idea!
