Finally got around to listening. I agree it was more of a "watching with your friends" vibe then actually talking about the film, but that's OK. It's an excuse to watch the movie again 
I had never noticed the Sanctuary manga in his apartment before- it's a great book, if you can track it down, as well as a good live action film. Two child survivors of the Killing Fields grow up in Japan and decide to jointly remake society from both ends- one runs for public office and the other joins the yakuza.
I think this movie is the reason for my love of the music genre 'Opera Metal'- fantastic female singers with a great metal band behind them (and often a male death metal singer for a fun counterpoint). If you haven't heard Nightwish, check them out
Going to various web sites that list podcasts and making sure you're listed on there would be a good idea (googling 'Podcast directory' brings up a bunch of sites). I freely admit I'm too lazy to do it, but if you give us the actual feed address maybe some of us can get it done. Often those using these sites subscribe using links there and never bother going to the podcast's own homepage. In fact, it should be possible for someone to subscribe to the podcast RSS feed right from your homepage without going through iTunes. No reason to turn away Apple haters
But we've heard that before. I mean, there's the old Lenny Bruce line about how weed will become legal by the 80's because all the law students were smoking and they'd have to protect their ass once they became lawyers and judges.
There's two aspects of this. On the one hand, it's a way for a preacher to reach a greater number of people over a greater distance. What before required years of travel and trying to draw crowds can be done from home. On the other hand, that wacky message isn't hidden in a church where only those who bother to go to the meetings will hear it. 20 years ago you would never have discovered him.
I think in the end the main effect will be in fact fewer "successful" prophets, as there will be less need for regional cults and the most effective can draw followers from the marginal ones.
I've never bothered to have a drink because I figured I was screwed up enough as it was without adding alcohol, and legal drugs would have gotten the same response when I was younger. It would have helped my mom, though, as chemo really did a number on her.
It would be interesting to hear you go over some of the old live action Disney stuff.
Actually speaking of old classics, the new "as uncut as we're ever going to get it" print of Metropolis is playing in Buffalo this week. Any chance of you guys doing something that old school?
"It's people like that who make you realize how little you've accomplished. It is a sobering thought, for example, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years."
-Tom Lehrer
It's very possible it's an accidental PG-13. That is, they just wrote and filmed what they wanted to and that's the rating it happened to get. They would have been happy with an R, but didn't feel like going back and adding some F-bombs or nudity to get it.
I think it's clear in the first movie Kyle doesn't know he's the father. He just developed a huge crush on this mystery woman that's probably akin to someone really getting into Joan of Arc and then finding themselves going back and meeting her. As Bill and Ted would say, this is a historical babe!
As for what to do with the sequels, I think you have to go all out with the time travel. The first three films are about attempts by the robots to change history. Start with the scene they were going to start T2 with, Conner captures the Terminator's last stronghold and discovers the time machines. After sending back Kyle and the second Arnold, they look around and find evidence of... alternative timelines. Or time loops. Maybe they find footage of them all dying in the assault they just made (or even the bodies). Some indication that in fact they don't always win and in fact they're just reliving a choose your own adventure story where at the end time travel starts the whole process over again in 1984. How can they actually END the war?
There will be bonus points if someone mentions the similarities with the first segment of the animated movie Heavy Metal
He does remind me of the babe....
I was going to complain that the regular version wasn't even in the feed, but I see it's there now-must have been a delay while Teague played with trying to insert the enhanced version. I'm enjoying it, mostly as I'm usually watching the movie on my computer and can have the small iTunes window next to the film (not sure if having playback controls in the cover view is new in iTunes, but I like it ^_^). It is an addition that opens up lots of possibilities. For example, comments on what's being said as in Stephen Colbert's "The Word" segment when someone goes off on an un-researched tangent.
No, I think GB2 would have a hard time counting much past three even if you spotted it the 1 and the 2.
Yes, but that talks about episodes 10-12, his ideas for sort of in universe movies (a droid movie, a wookie movie, etc). I'm more curious about what if anything we're currently getting in the post-Jedi novels was intended for the last three films or if whoever the over all editor is has free reign. That may be in the Secret History of Star Wars book, but it doesn't seem to be on the site itself.
I'll mention the commentary. Having listened to Dorkman's reading of the first draft, someone has to do a fan film using that script
Also, is there any real idea of what Lucas originally planned for episodes 7-9? Obviously, he changes his mind and personal history every time he's asked (which I feel has to be intentional humor on his part), but all I personally know is a comment in the 1987 Starlog magazine celebrating the 10th anniversary of Star Wars. When asked why Luke doesn't get a girl by the end of Jedi, Lucas comments "You haven't seen the last three movies!"
/it's easier to think outside the box if you've never seen a box
ACC is in general smaller, and to be honest even without the enhancement I wouldn't mind a conversion of older stuff to save room given I tend to keep all the episodes. I'd been thinking of combining and compressing some of them as audiobooks as it is. Some of the episodes are unusually large, with 300 at 121 MB while Titanic is only 69 MB. Naturally the enhancements will eat up most of those savings though
Nobody has commented on the actual episode, so I'll be the first to say it was your usual quality job. Not your best, but I may just think that because I was listening to it having been up for 22 hours I was also bummed to find out the first part of my old letterboxed Empire tape was a bit wonky.
As for the enhanced episode, I'm downloading it now and will probably love it. Hopefully you'll get them into the regular podcast feed, or maybe set up a second one if there's still a need for mp3's by some people. Heck, if someone has nothing better to do older episodes could be "remastered" with this...
