Midnight Movie At The Bagdad

[Fatboy Roberts]

forumers get the headsup first:

The Midnight Movies will now have commentaries included. They'll be made available the day before the screening (so people who download a day late can still play along) and will also be broadcast on pdx.fm at 11:05pm the night of the Midnight Movie - they won't be terribly scene specific so the differences in timing won't be noticeable much.

The inaugural commentary will be missing The Captain - I believe he had some sort of Brew appearance he had to attend (I think) so I basically moderate a panel consisting of

Erik Henriksen - Film Editor, Portland Mercury
Mike Russell - The Oregonian, Culture Pulp.com
Dawn Taylor - Cinematical.com, Ham-Fisted Radio
Dave Walker - Badazzmofo.com, MSN.com

All talking over the theatrical cut of Terminator 2: Judgment Day

It looked like this when we were done:

Sounds cool!

[annosuperstar]

nice!

It'll be weird to see how many other people at the theater will be listening to their mp3 players.

You've assembled a Dream Team of portland film commentators right there.

(BTW: I'm one of the few people using a Zune to listen to the podcast)

[Fatboy Roberts]

ZUNE!

We gotta start promoting this more, I think. I feel like not enough people are knowing.

when my zune was working i used to send your pods to friends to get them listening

[Hyperion]

You didn't send them man you squirted mediocrity into the their waiting ears.

I've listened to a commentary track when Big Trouble in Little China was playing and it was an awesome experience.

My Zune actually doesn't have the ability to "squirt" I have new HD model that lacks that ability strangly.

The Kurt Russel / John Carpenter commentaries are great because the two are obviously friends and had a good time making the movies.

I think the Zune is the official MP3 player of the Cort and Fatboy show. I remember you guys talking about the Zune a while back and a lot of people on the old forums said they had a Zune. It's actually the reason I bought mine. lol

Bagdad it's nice place,Midnight movie at Bagdad Rising Arizona it's good movie and Nicholas Cage's good,you watch it i think you like it.and also some scary part in movie.

So I wanted to bring up the fact that TNT is once again trying to steal the nerd shine of the midnight movie. They are showing Terminator 2 as I type this. By the way, I was the idiot that started that whole zune craze on the old forum. I was listening to the podcast in iraq via zune over the headsets in my stryker thanks to a cheap pair of headphones I spliced into the communications box. I believe we decided that the "squirt" sharing option was a stupid name and we came up with "speu" instead if I remember correctly. Oh, and........ Nerrrrrrrdz

[Big J]

Yay! I get the night off tonight, so I can attend this month.

[Prod!gy]

Unfortunately I have to work tonight. Also, the dog is getting it's nuts chopped off, so he's going to need to be looked after.

[elementalmw]

I shall be attending. But my nine months pregnant wife wont be.

If you see a guy rushing out of the theater with a mix of panic and elation on his face that means I got the call that she just went into labor.

[axle_the_viking]

what will it take to get Akira as a midnight movie?

[Big J]

Hey guys, guess what movie they showed on USA today? I'll give you a hint.

[axle_the_viking]

i love Spider-Man!

[Adrian]

Hey all

I'd love to see the following as midnite movies:

The Mist
Shaun of the Dead
Purple Rain
Terry Gilliam's Brazil
Fight Club
Any early Jackie Chan adventure... Super Cop, Drunken Master
Total Recall
Team America: World Police
That animated Transformers movie from the '80's

apologies if I've already mentioned some movies they've already shown.

[ROFLcopter]

I think the audience reaction for Goldblum was amazing. I can't recall any movie where a character got that many cheers. Nearly every line had people in a frenzy.

[Big J]

That first T-Rex attack was amazing to watch on the big screen. Had me thrilled even though I've seen this movie a lot, but never on the big screen.
