Meh. I don't watch it, but I think most shows with laugh tracks would fair no better. Don't movies use music pretty much the same way, just a bit more subtly?

That scene was set in the Nixon White House. It was a travesty of set design. I mean, what is a china cabinet doing in what is clearly the Vermeil Room?! Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

/Did not read your post at all.

This was great! Thanks for getting it out so quickly! I'm listening to the answers to the rest of the individual questions now.

I directed the Star Wars/Star Trek mashup question at Ryan because he's a big Star Wars guy and JJ Abrams said that his new Star Trek movie was partly meant to be more Star-Wars-like. If you can have Harry Mudd in Trek, maybe you can have a Han Solo; it would just be a very different kind of movie or series.

Also, to Eddie's reply... My dad was never a movie guy, but my best friend treasured watching the spaghetti westerns with his dad when he was growing up, even tho they were kind of secondary for him as he got older. His dad died recently, and he and I sat down and watched For a Few Dollars More in honor of him. Good times. And I've treasured watching movies with my nieces and nephews, especially the one Star Wars/Batman geek among them.

Re: Cloe's reply, I'd never heard of Jhonen Vasquez. That's cool. In the chatroom, I mentioned that Comic Book Outsiders is a great place to learn about non-superhero comic books.

Good night, good night!

Thanks guy! Congratulations on 2 years!

Also: one for anyone...

If the BeeGees somehow took over a small, third-world country around 1982, where would Barry Gibb have ranked among the world's worst despots? 3rd? 6th?

But in that film, the main characters don't use the n-word or commit murder, do they? So for that commentary, the DIF panel should be allowed no more than three preposterous close-shave airplane take-offs.

For Raiders (back on topic), the panel should kill no more than 20 Arabs and Nazis and raid no more than two ancient relics during the commentary.

Oh, I heard he's good.

He's often called "the Robert Rodriguez of Mexico."

Oh, I heard he's good too.

He's often called "the Tartan Quentintino of the Internet."

Well, it WAS black history month. And the n-word IS a big part of black history....

MASH is so strange. I saw it after years of watching the TV show, probably even after the TV was over. It's like the TV show... and then they play a big football game. Like, WTF?! They have uniforms and pads and everything!

Has any panelist opted out of a movie strictly for disliking the movie as opposed to availability?

Have you ever considered doing commentaries for any television shows? For example: Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab.

Trey is usually barefoot during recordings. Does this seem gross to anyone (else)?

Eddie suggested doing some classic movies at one time, but DIF has never done any movie older than any panelist (Dr. Strangelove = 1964). Is this because Trey and Eddie are the only ones who understand how movies were made before electricity?

What does the Down in Front International Recording Studio smell like?

• Pine-Sol

• Pizza

• Doritos/feet (indistinguishable)

• Victory

I saw Jeff Goldblum on the BBC show Top Gear. He drove around their track in 3rd gear the whole time because he misunderstood the instructions from the racing driver. This has never happened before, even with Doctor Who's Billie Piper, who took a wrong turn and cut off 1/3 of the track, or Tom Cruise, who nearly rolled the car (and still topped the field). Does this seem normal for Jeff Goldblum?

That explains a lot about what goes on in David Lynch's head. It's not all that different from the schizophrenic hallucination simulator.
