Re: Announcement! Things!

Sounds awesome to me! If anything, I think this would make DIF more accessible to newcomers.

Re: Announcement! Things!

YES!!!! I've been hoping you guys would shift to this kind of format for awhile now, the Intermission seemed like a really cool step in that direction. Really excited to hear you're doing this, I really think you guys can compete with and do a better weekly show than FilmJunk and SlashfilmCast. Also that LOTR cast sounds amazing, I've actually never watched the extended editions (and recently bought the blu-ray set), so I'll really have to hurry up and watch them now.

Leveling up in Pong? I... what?

What you're doing seems exciting though, so I'm looking forward to that.

Trey killed a guy?

Anyway for commentaries I would appreciate to see done include Clockwork Orange, Escape from New York and the gruesome 1986 blood bath Transformers The Movie... Predator would also be nice if there's time.

With science!

Re: Announcement! Things!

I would suggest a Wes Anderson commentary. I've always liked the textures, soundtrack and film, of The Darjeeling Limited. It almost seems like a sequel to The Royal Tennenbaums (sp?), but with a slightly different family.

Re: Announcement! Things!

I'd like to offer one quick correction to my lovable Teague. I will not primarily be making LOTR themed mixed drinks for 10 hours straight.  This is for two reasons: 1) If I stuff 12 people full of booze for 10 hours straight, I will be charged with multiple homicides and 2) I don't make mix drinks very well.

What I offered was to make LOTR themed FOOD for the entire time.  Mainly because I didn't think it would be good to have multiple people making Sharkey's and 7-11 runs throughout our commentary, but also because I love to cook, have been told I'm decent at it, and thought it would be fun to provide snacks that sort of go along with the movies.  I've already started putting the menu together and I'll offer these previews.

Bilbo's Cheese and Eggs
Sam's PO-TA-TOES
Riverfolk Baked Clams Casino
Blackened Balrog Beef Skewers
Gollum's (forgot the taste of) Bread

THis all sounds wonderful, will the live LOTR thing be avaliable in a format to listen to later? (Because I'm on holiday) Anyway I can't wait and this all looks awesome big_smile

Too much garbage in your face?  There's plenty of space in space!

Sounds cool. I love The Intermission.

Just don't stop commentaries altogether. I love those things, man.

Re: Announcement! Things!

I'm psyched as all hell.

Also, we've moved the date to Saturday, instead of Sunday. This way the other-side-of-the-world people have a better ability to stay up late, or wake up early and nap later, if so inclined...and we have a day to recover before going back to work.

Re: Announcement! Things!

Slight changes:

Balrog Burgers now, blackened by shadow and flame.
Bilbo's Cheese and Eggs will also come with a side of butter scraped over too much toast.

And although I will do my prep work at home, I plan to make most of this at the DiF kitchen.

Re: Announcement! Things!

Very excited about the LotR commentaries!

And I'm really happy you moved it to March 10 and not the eleventh, because that would probably have been the least convenient day for me this entire year. So thanks for making me much happier than I was when I first saw this announcement a few hours ago.


In other news: I haven't listened to a commentary in months, I should probably do something about that soon...

Re: Announcement! Things!

Gotta love the Balrog Burgers.
