Blah blah blah, whimsy.

Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
This was really good. Nicely balanced between fan nerdery and film analysis.

Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
Thanks man.
Also, sorry for how hot my mic is. Recently it's gotten tricker, trying to balance webcam-levels with Audacity-levels. It smooths out about fifteen minutes in.
Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
Very nice timing, was just wondering when you guys were going to tackle the Potter films.
Before I listen, I will say, I'm a bit o fa defender of this one. I know some don't like Columbus' Potter films, but I like the intro to the characters.
Whimsy is a good word for it I guess.

Haven't listened to it yet. But why did you Americans rename it?

Because the publishers assumed that American kids would be too dumb to understand what a "Philosopher" was.

Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
I thought it was because Philosopher has a different definition in America than in Britain. In Britain it means essentially "wizard," while in America it more means "guy who thinks about stuff for a living" and would invoke images of Socrates or Plato rather than Merlin.

Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
I'm pretty sure it means basically the same thing over here.

Careful, braedan. As someone who has fielded many Britons' comments on the subject of UK vs US spelling, believe me when I say the English (the Scots are all right) don't have a sense of humoUr about this sort of thing.

Yeah, but I think we did it wrong.

Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
We did this one the same way we did TRON, right? Watching/writing/rewatching?
Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
We would watch the movie from the beginning, get up to a certain point, stop, and then when resuming, start from the beginning. As a result, we've seen the first five minutes of Harry Potter like 15 times.
I think we did Tron the same way, we just muscled through that one.

Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
My understanding is that, for MST3k, they'd have all the writers in a room watching through and making jokes on the fly, that would be written down on a timecode sheet. They'd repeat the process a couple times, and then pick the best joke for every five seconds or so.
Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
But I don't think they start and stop as much as we did and don't reset to the beginning each time they do. They watch it start to finish a few times, where as we watched the beginning of Harry Potter (and Tron) no less than 10 times and the end quite a bit less.

Re: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Whatever
WHAT?! Chris Hanel is Disembaudio?! Are you fucking my mind on purpose Matt????!?!??!??! Does it feel good???!?!??! Now I'll get brain-pregnant!!!!
On a side note, this commentary needs some Levelator. Trey and Michael are mixed way lower than Anthony and Teague. It's hard to listen to.
And I'm listening for two now that Matt has gotten me brain-pregnant.

Ha, no, Hanel is not Disembaudio.
