Hey there The Film Talk listeners, (and hopefully members!), I’ve been very impressed, like you I’m sure, with the good Dr.’s posts of late – blogging from a film set in New Zealand, his prose inspires; these musings on the transcendence of our experience on this tiny globe is some of the best writing I think he’s ever done for the site.
Which puts me in a quandary. My posts seem shallow and short-lived in comparison – especially the one I had planned for today, involving my award for “The Decade’s Most Contrived Plot Device”, (see image above of AMEE – folks who’ve seen Red Planet will know what I mean).
So, what do to?
Well, I’m going to think laterally here – instead of a regular post that would have a hard time competing with Gareth’s, I’m doing something unique in the history of the show. You see The Film Talk is edited – we often have problems while recording, (on occasion we’re too heated in our arguments – other times we just don’t make any sense).
Yesterday we had a different problem – with Gareth down in New Zealand the broadband access was irregular, so we had a hell of time getting a decent ‘line’ to record on. In fact, this episode, 104, wins the prize for most failed attempts at doing the show – the ‘line’ kept dropping and we must have recorded bits and pieces of the episode a dozen times over.
This was so frustrating in fact that when we finally got a decent connection between us, yours truly could not keep it together. So for your interest and amusement, I present to you a short clip of a never revealed ’TFT – Behind the Scenes’, (warning – the link is NSFW):
