The Flight of the Navigator always left me twisted because it always pissed me off that he came back to Earth and his younger bro was older than him. That shit is fuct and violates everything I know about being a sibling...
If E.T. every made me younger than my kid sis, I'd stomp some phoning-home ass
Also, Greg I'm close enough to hang,I thinks...so let's do it. CO to LA, how many hours you think?
Oh, you so need to. It's been more than a year, and last time was fucked!
Yea, traveling faster than the speed of light is a bitch. I just finished the movie. I love how they use the same animation of the ship every single time. This movie used to disturb me when I was kid.
It's always been a fantasy of mine to collect a bunch of clips of computer animations from movies from the mid 70's to mid 90's - like the ones with the green grid lines, alien typefaces, etc and put them together. From Star Wars to Weird Science. There is a lot of technobabble too. I'm intrigued by the idea of creating something alien or futuristic. Futurologists are the closest thing contemporary society has to wizards because "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." (Arthur C. Clarke's 3rd Law). And aliens must think differently than us - like Chet is always saying - try to think of something you would never think of... Art that attempts an impossible task has a high chance of being great.
I just read something yesterday about HD-TV and how it's changing the way people have to design sets. (EFF, Your sci-fi collection idea above made me think about this). Basically, HD cameras capture insane amounts of detail, so now instead of just having papers on a cops desk for instance with dummy latin text on the page like "lorem, ipsum dolor...", they're hiring people who;s job it is to make actual police reports to put on the cops desk, etc. I think I read it in wired.
Cops' realistic papers for imaginary crimes - perhaps someone will start a spin-off by reading the papers. Perhaps it will also be a story of li'l Mr. Cockroach who lives in the top drawer of the cop's desk. They don't have to show it at different times - just weave the bug into the story and we can kill two target audiences with one sitcom.
Like with how nature shows are getting better - more detailed, more accurate, more hyperdramatic, more meaningful - as we slowly kill off all life. The real world is getting flat and the fake world is getting facinating. As Logan always said, "simulation is the ecstacy of the real" (OK - it's actually our late friend Baudrillard). Art is like that too - ever increasing detail, ever depleting resources - the thought-replicators in our minds are slowly destroying the old paradigm of DNA-replicators. That's why I say, "PAVE THE WORLD!" It's inevitable - robots will learn to suck up our minds for breakfast before they learn to walk. They need a flat world for their little wheels.
When you create a new post the "link" blank makes the TITLE a link.
It's a little confusing. Here's how to
create an HTML link like a pro. Copy and paste this crap into your
post/comments:
<a href="http://www.address.com">TEXT </a>
Replace the complete URL (web address) between the quotes and TEXT with what you want to appear as text in the blue link.
Congratulations...you're a nerd.

Come to cali.
flight of the navigator is scary but not as scary as cocoon
I think you're right. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen it, because I was so terrified by the fucking trailer.
if you're scared of wilford brimley and old people having fun (i know i am), it's the scariest movie ever.
I'm mentally much younger than Henry.

Chet's such a ball-buster!
there is a great mid-90's hardcore acid track called "only those who attempt the impossible will achieve the absurd". i like that.
THAT'S.... ABSURD!!
