One of the few DIF movies i know nothing about and don't plan to see any time soon but it was an entertaining conversation. If it's as bad as all that, the filmmakers should be kind of flattered that such a thoughtful fan commentary exists - even if it ends up being negative. There used to be a religion thread here and i can't remember if this was ever discussed, but i wonder what Dorkman's favorite movie dealing with religion is. The Passion of the Christ? (What a well-made movie that is.) The Life of Brian? THX-1138? ("Buy, and be happy.")

I thought it was interesting when American Gods was mentioned (in response to someone in the chat) because in my mind that book is The Sting, or Die Hard and has nothing to do with religion. Odin you trickster!

This'll look awesome on my newton.

Time to get medieval on AI's ass.

/likes the ending

Fornicatin' Flappers was really good though.

Is there any actual connection to the real canceled apollo 18? That's a pretty small budget. As long as it's better than that old stinker Moontrap.

Hey! Capricorn One wasn't that bad (well, when i was 14.) Elliot Gould, James Brolin, Sam Waterston did a great job. OJ Simpson dies in the desert. A great 4 aircraft chase. It looked like Peter Hyams was going to be a great director.

It's interesting how the action is split between Gould (doing All The President's Men-type snooping) and Brolin (doing the hero stuff). Kind of like a transition period from The Long Goodbye to Die Hard.

edit: Oh. It just dawned on me that Invid meant respect-wise. Never mind.

Speaking of tone poems, has anyone seen Daft Punk's Electroma? Think of the first few minutes of 2001: ASO staring 2 robots from THX-1138 with not a word of dialogue. That's the whole movie, all 70min of it.

There's a 'face melting' scene that goes on a little too long but other than that it was beautifully shot and really good.

31yrs struck me as being a really long time. It just seems like you get a 'best editing' nom automatically thrown in with 'best picture', and that bugs me a little. It devalues the prestige of the award.

The next year On Golden Pond got an editing nom. Why? That movie occasionally cuts from one scene to another, that's about it.

So there's 7 clips and each is 20min long, right? I'm just curious: how big is the crowd, and how many are civilians? Is it free admission? Is there a podcast of the Q&A?

I've never seen it but i'll say Death Race 2000 until i can think of something better.
