That actually happened to me, it was called Star Trek: The Next Generation.

ANYway.  I may check out this "rational Potter" fanfic sometime, but until then, I don't feel my life as a rational person is threatened by the original books.  I enjoy them, but that doesn't mean I think magic is real.  I can even enjoy the occasional Christian-based tale if it's told well, but that doesn't mean I've become a Jehovah's Witness.

Lightwave and Fusion are their weapons of choice.   

However, I did my shots with AE because it's the only comp software I know, fortunately for me they also have AE in-house.

Speaking of rewriting history, the speed limit at AES is 15 mph, and there are signs posted everywhere.

yes, Faith Films is a branch of the Asylum, it's their "family" brand that does faith-based movies, kids movies, etc.

Moby was indeed shot on a Red, my first experience working with one.  Overall, I liked using the Red, especially the flexibility it gave us in post. 

Since Moby was never going to release theatrically, and would only be seen in hi-def at best, we could zoom in on the Red footage more than 100% and still be within hi-def resolution.   There were many times we took wide shots and broke them into closeups, very useful for scenes where I hadn't gotten enough coverage.   (When you're making up the shots as you go and there's no script supervisor, sometimes you miss things. )

Makes me want to try another run at DIF'ing Forbidden Planet...

The original Moby design was much more whale-like, with a blunt snout and smaller teeth etc. But just before production started, the design was changed to the more shark-like beast you see in the movie.  (To some extent, due to this news story.)

Asylum knows the giant sea beast business better than I ever will, so I'm good widdit.

Surely in the history of Zarban.com, there have been few, if any, movies that have had TWO commentaries appear online within the first week of DVD release.

By the way, don't tell me if it's actually happened many times before.  Leave me with my illusions.

I actually knew that, but I was hung up on "violet shifted" because it seemed like that would be the term and it sounded wrong to me.

Shoulda Wikipedia'd it.     Dammit, Trey, think next time...

Oh lord.

Well, I just hope that Tysto is as brilliant and insightful as this reviewer who is my favorite person this week.

Stand back, everyone - Brian will be arriving at lightspeed any moment to respond to that one. 

/for me, would love to do either or both.  Well, maybe one episode of FtEttM, not the whole thing...

It was released today, but has been pirate-able via torrent for at least a week already.   

There's no "official" commentary on the DVD, Asylum doesn't tend to do those.   There is however, a making-of and a blooper reel, both of which contain way too much me.

After they study Bowman they decide not to... instead they send him back as a superbeing to keep us in line.

Not that you can really get that from the MOVIE, o'course, but that's what the starbaby is there for.   In the book the first thing he does is destroy all the orbiting weapon platforms.   

You know, like babies do...

You realize that's the plot of 2001, right?
