Thanks for a great podcast episode. And Astrid knowing about Peter’s death IS a HUGE deal 😉
Darrell, I think you need to soften the Fringe piano music during your recap.
Also Darrell, that “handicam” effect you spoke of I think is popularly referred to as a “dislocated camera”. I remember it as far back as NYPD Blue. To a different effect granted but quite similar. I’m taking Clint’s side as far as Creed is concerned. Pearl Jam wannabe’s.
The JJ Star trek DVD has a very nice feature on the shaky cam. When you see it, you will be amazed how simple the technique is.
The Forbidden Planet scene is where the daughter is requesting Robbie make her new clothes. Robbie wants to know if it is to protect from radiation, but the daughter replies “No, prying eyes.”
From an effects perspective, Forbidden Planet was ahead of its time. Some of the scenes are replicated in Star Wars Ep 4. I beleive George Lucas credited this movie as his inspiration.
