GWC Podcast #127

[Pike]

Dalton Trumbo

Blacklisted. Wow. He wrote Roman Holiday, Spartacus, and Papillon amongst other things.

Are you guys putting me on?

Oh crap, THAT guy.

Yeah, it was totally a put-on for your sake.

[frakkintalos]

Oh crap, THAT guy.

Yeah, it was totally a put-on for your sake.

Yeah. THAT guy, glad I could help.

Phew. I thot I was losing my gullible appeal.

It was also nice of Audra the reference RMHPH at 1:38:47 in the podcast…

You confused the hell out of me there. I couldn’t figure out how Will Smith’s height was a reference to me.

I think you meant 1:37:47 – if my next avatar is any indication.

There was another film released around the same time called ‘Dreamscape’ with Dennis Quaid in the lead. It was about psychic warfare. Pretty cool stuff.

Loved that movie. That snake demon thing creeped me out, even if the special effects look horribly dated now…

Saw it way back when… I agree good movie. I believe it was Natalie Wood’s last movie before she died.

Actually, she died while making it.

No one listens to me.

I’m sorry. Did you say something? :rolleyes:

I’ll tell you about TBL what an asshole (but right in this case) roommate of mine a long time back told me about reading A Stranger In A Strange Land: I envy you. You only get to watch this movie the first time once, and you get to do it this week. Lucky bastard.

Yay! I’m a lucky bastard too!

It goes something like this:

…“oh, great Deep Thought, please tell us, what is The Answer?”
“I have contemplated for eons, and universes came and went while I pondered The Answer. In the end, I have finally found it. If you know what I mean.”
“I’m afraid we don’t. What DO you mean?”
“No, I mean that is The Answer. ‘IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN’.”

… stunned silence by the crowd…

“So, tell us, wise Deep Thought, you mean to tell us, The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: ‘IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN’?”
“Exactly.”
“Well, so what DO you mean?”
“I haven’t got a clue.”

… And so the hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings went off to design an even bigger and more powerful computer, the Deep Throat, to find out what exactly one means and he says “If You Know What I mean.” …

Brill-frakkin’-tastic.

[Strikitrich]

It drove me crazy so I had to look it up. “Brainstorm” was the name of the Christopher Walken movie I was trying to remember.

Good flick btw. Worth digging up if you can find a copy

Yep, that’s the one.

Ooops, sorry about that my furry friend…

[Audra]

Welcome to the forum, strikitrich!

[Armando]

I’ve known the name since I was twelve. Douglas Trumbull.

BTW, who’s Dalto Trumbo?

Hey, so I just did a quick search through this thread and the frak party’s thread to see if someone else already noticed this, but I couldn’t find any posts. So, did anyone else notice Aaron Douglas as one of the no-dialogue USR Attorney #1? Anyway, check it out!

sorry if someone else posted this info! I was late in my re-watching, and now I’m off to the Lebowski and some white russians!

[Chicken_Pie_Cylon]

That guy is indeed in everything!

[Chronicles]

Another film I would have never watched had it not been for this Podcast, and I LOVED it. (So much that I went to 5 different used book stores to pick up as many Robot books as possible.)

Thank you again, GWC!

I watched The Big Lebowski years ago and didn’t get into it, but I have it ready to go for tomorrow and hope I get it this time around.
