Month: July 2014

I’m surprised we had to wait a whole 21 minutes for Will Smith.

We’ve reached our first OH SHIT moment, folks!

I just realized you can sing the words “TRUMPEEEEETTTTS OF DOOOOOOM” to the horn motif in these cutaway scenes.

Personality: RECYCLING GOOD, SMOKING BAD

I love you, Jeff Goldblum. I love you, movie.

Just the SCALE of the mothership in this movie astounds me.  I love this shot of the satellite as it approaches, moves past the camera, then on towards the ship, and all the time, you’re thinking “MAN how far away is it going to get?"  Then it disappears into the shadow, and STILL a few seconds later, there’s a teeny tiny fireball as it crashes into the hull.

Also TRUMPETS OF DOOM in the score.

I am fascinated by the little UI quirks of the various computers in this movie. This is merely the first one.  WHO programmed the little blinking SIGNAL SOURCE: MOON window into SETI’s software?

ALIENS YEAAHHHHHH

YOU BLOT OUT THAT EARTH

GO YOU

Being all big and stuff
