"Den Wissenschaftlern Lillian Reynolds und Michael Brace ist es mit dem Projekt Brainstorm gelungen, ein System zu entwickeln, mit dem menschliche Empfindungen und Gedanken übertragen werden können. Staatliche Instanzen wollen jedoch die Entdeckung für militärische Zwecke missbrauchen und die Erfindung gerät in falsche Hände. Als das Gerät den Tod eines Forschers aufzeichnet, wird Brace klar, dass das Projekt lebensgefährlich ist."
Paul and Amy look to the skies with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Steven Spielberg's awe-inspiring follow-up to Jaws and one of cinema's most influential visions of alien contact. They unpack the film's ambitious production, from Spielberg's growing creative confidence, Douglas Trumbull's groundbreaking effects work and the casting. Along the way, they explore the movie's themes of obsession, faith, communication, and government secrecy, and why its sense of wonder still feels so powerful nearly fifty years later.

Nachdem die Multiplex-Platten-Enterprise nach gefühlt 7 Stunden die Bedrohung für die Erde erfolgreich abgewehrt hat, kommen unsere drei Stümperer langsam wieder zu sich …
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's Project Hail Mary is an exceptionally audience-friendly adaptation of Andy Weir's novel of the same name, offsetting the story's doomsday scenario with lots of jokes, a charismatic lead, and most especially the buddy dynamic between Ryan Gosling's human protagonist and an alien engineer named Rocky. The film's light touch has made it a hit, but it also left some of your Next Picture Show hosts wanting more, as we break down in our discussion of the new film before turning to Connections and a companion film that's as prickly as Project Hail Mary is cuddly: Douglas Trumbull's 1972 directorial feature debut, Silent Running. Sure, both films explore the idea of a lonely man finding human connection in a non-human companion, the threat of worldwide ecological collapse, and the question of what we owe the Earth and what causes are worth dying for, but each takes a very different approach, to very different effect... as do the several other films we considered pairing with PHM, which we collectively recommend in Your Next Picture Show. Please share your thoughts about Silent Running, Project Hail Mary, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

It's tough out there for old sci-fi movies, as their once-cutting-edge visuals can feel dated and even silly. And then, if you are SILENT RUNNING, you have to also deal with the uncanny-valley-esque experience of watching a young Bruce Dern mugging the camera non-stop. Critics - and the Tomatometer - didn't care though, and Douglas Trumbull's directorial debut got a suspiciously fresh score.

Already the biggest blockbuster of the year so far, Project Hail Mary has proven itself about as audience-friendly as a story about looming worldwide ecological collapse can be. That makes it an interesting point of contrast with 1972's Silent Running, which approaches many of the same basic narrative beats — a man in space on a solo mission that threatens his sanity, who finds his most human connection in a non-human companion — with a melancholic tone and deeply unpleasant protagonist. So this week we're looking back at one of just two movies made by pioneering special-effects artist Douglas Trumbull to consider how Silent Running functions today as both an environmental parable and a counterculture story about fighting The Man, how it tests our sympathies for its supposed hero, and whether that supposed hero knows anything about growing plants, in space or otherwise. Then in Feedback, a listener prompt inspires us to revisit some of our most memorable interruptions to the theatrical experience.

The Bride! is already a certified box-office flop, but does Maggie Gyllenhaal's ambitious but deeply flawed sophomore feature as a writer-director have potential for a second life as a cult film? We consider that possibility as we run through the highs and lows, both intentional and unintentional, of a movie that, if nothing else, offers a lot to talk about. It also offers the opportunity to revisit an unambiguous classic via Gyllenhaal's stated inspiration point of 1967's Bonnie and Clyde, which we bring back in for Connections to consider how The Bride! stacks up, in both conception and execution, in its ideas about lovers on the lam, outlaw media sensations, and empowered women empowering women. Then for Your Next Picture Show, we offer a recommendation for another film about coupled-up criminals that predates Bonnie and Clyde, the 1950 noir Gun Crazy.

What if the secrets of a 1968 masterpiece were hiding in plain sight—just waiting for modern color tools to reveal them? We dive into 2001: A Space Odyssey with a forensic eye, exploring how a carefully mastered HDR release lets subtle artifacts surface: matte lines stepping in eight-frame rhythms, hand-painted star fields, and reflections that whisper clues about the set. Instead of diminishing Kubrick's vision, these discoveries deepen our respect for Douglas Trumbull's team and the analog ingenuity that still holds our gaze at 24 frames per second.From there, we pivot to the craft of color as a science. Our guest, Paulo Martins of Alchemy Color, breaks down how to treat your camera like a measurement device. He walks us through building rigorous profiles with thousands of color patches under D50 and tungsten, navigating metameric pitfalls from spiky LEDs, and establishing a dependable baseline inside Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw. Then we get practical with a methodical, 32-bit approach to inverting color negatives—rooted in open-source insights—so the “print-like” result honors the negative without baking in an arbitrary lab look.If you've ever wanted film's character without surrendering control, this conversation maps a path. We talk chart-driven emulations, creating accurate 3D LUTs, and exporting Cineon log for seamless grading in DaVinci Resolve with print film and halation treatments. Whether you're reverse-engineering a spaceship window to glimpse a soundstage or building an end-to-end digital film pipeline for stills and motion, the throughline is the same: use precision to serve the illusion. Tune in, get inspired, and see how curiosity, calibration, and careful workflows can bring the texture of cinema to everyday images.Enjoyed the show?

We're back after 3 years!! In this episode, Film Detective dives into two iconic 1970s sci-fi films that explore dystopia, ecology, and the human condition: Logan's Run (1976) and Silent Running (1972). The show examines the sleek futurism and hedonistic nightmare of Logan's Run, where society eliminates anyone over 30 to maintain a utopian illusion. Through its vibrant production design and social commentary, the film reflects fears of overpopulation and loss of individuality. Then, the episode shifts to Silent Running, Douglas Trumbull's directorial debut, which swaps sleek cities for a lonely spaceship harboring the last forests of Earth. Bruce Dern delivers a haunting performance as a botanist who defies orders to preserve the natural world. The show explores the film's environmental message, minimalist storytelling, and groundbreaking visual effects. Including the precursor of the AI technological surge we are currently experiencing in 2025. Together, the films paint a picture of early '70s sci-fi's moral concerns—questioning progress, control, and our relationship with nature.

Astronaut Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) muss in Douglas Trumbulls ebenso spannendem wie poetischem Science-Fiction-Film „Lautlos im Weltraum“ (USA, 1972) eine folgenreiche Entscheidung treffen, um die letzten Flecken Natur des Planeten Erde vor der Vernichtung zu bewahren… Der Blick hinter die Kulissen dieses Kultfilms mit starker Öko-Botschaft gewährt faszinierende Einblicke in die Arbeit des Special Effects-Genies Trumbull bei dessen erster Regiearbeit. Quellen: Specials der Bluray von “Lautlos im Weltraum” (2016) "Da merkte Kubrick, dass wir Probleme lösen konnten": Gespräch mit Douglas Trumbull; In: Filmbulletin: Zeitschrift für Film und Kino; Heft 334 (2013), S.16-23.
Programar los Retro Tuesdays de Caribbean Cinemas fue uno de mis mayores placeres del 2024, por lo que me llena de muchísima emoción poder anunciarles que el proyecto de cine de repertorio continúa y se expande en el 2025, con más películas, más cines y más clásicos proyectados en la pantalla grande. La cartelera arranca el próximo 14 de enero con la presentación de la obra maestra de Stanley Kubrick, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Estrenado en 1968, el filme fue producto de una estrecha colaboración entre el renombrado cineasta, el autor de ciencia ficción, Arthur C. Clarke, y el visionario Douglas Trumbull, cuyos revolucionarios efectos especiales cambiaron para siempre el séptimo arte. Esta proyección marcará la primera vez que hacemos una exhibición en una sala CXC, con la mejor imagen y sonido posible, para ofrecerles una experiencia verdaderamente inolvidable. Dos semanas después, el 28 de enero, conmemoramos el 35 aniversario de uno de los principales largometrajes de la década del 1990: Goodfellas, de Martin Scorsese, un nombre que prácticamente es sinónimo del arte cinematográfico. Con las actuaciones estelares de Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro y Joe Pesci, las película se inspira en la verdadera historia de Henry Hill, un hombre de ascendencia irlandesa que se involucró con la mafia italiana y terminó colaborando con las autoridades federales. Luego, en febrero, celebramos el “mes del amor” con dos películas para los enamorados. El martes 11 se proyectará The Notebook, el fan favorite del 2004, que conquistó los corazones del público a través del tumultuoso romance protagonizado por Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner y Gena Rowlands. Y más adelante, el 25 de febrero, la pantalla grande brillará con dos de los rostros más icónicos del cine, cuando Humphrey Bogart e Ingrid Bergman nos cautiven con sus inolvidables actuaciones en el clásico de 1942, Casablanca. Los Retro Tuesdays regresan nuevamente a las salas Plaza Las Américas, los martes a las 7:00 p.m., y este ciclo se expandirá a los teatros de Plaza del Caribe, Arecibo y Western Plaza, para el disfrute de los cinéfilos de otras áreas de la Isla. Tal y como hicimos en las pasadas seis ediciones, las funciones de Plazas Las Américas -en las que estaré sirviendo de coanfitrión junto a Marcial Feliciano, de Caribbean Cinemas- serán proseguidas por un juego interactivo de Movie Trivia, para poner a prueba el conocimiento del público sobre los filmes que acaban de ver, y habrá premios para los primeros tres lugares. Los boletos ya están a la venta en www.caribbeancinemas.com. Y esto es solo el comienzo. Tenemos reestrenos MUY nítidos planificados para el 2025, así que separen desde ya los martes en la noche para que no se pierdan ninguno. Nos vemos en el cine. This is a public episode.

This month, I was pleased to welcome back Dan Mecca & Conor O'Donnell, two friends & the hosts of The Film Stage's excellent podcast The B-Side, which covers movie stars in a fascinating way, by focusing not on the films that made or kept them famous but on the ones that actors made in between. Equally skilled at coming up with highly original show themes for their guest appearances here, Dan & Conor joined me in Season 4 to discuss the role of work in the films of director Ron Howard & in 2022, we focused on the transition that gifted crew members such as Jack Fisk & Douglas Trumbull made to the position of director. This season, they're back to celebrate the '90s to early aught renaissance of old-fashioned Errol Flynn-style swashbuckler pictures. Charting the resurgence in genre popularity after the surprise success of ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES (& the Bryan Adams theme song), Dan & Conor walk listeners through the changes '90s filmmakers made from not only the '20s & '30s but also the sword spectaculars of their more fantastical '80s counterparts. Focusing primarily on the films FIRST KNIGHT, THE MASK OF ZORRO, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, & PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, we dissect the style, actors, productions, & filmmakers of these films & others in this same genre or old-fashioned adventure epic mold from A KNIGHT'S TALE to THE MUMMY to CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON & beyond. Along the way, we coin a new catchphrase in "buckle some swash," I tell a story about a dude I went out with once who didn't realize that Keith Richards & Mick Jagger were two different people, & we go on several memorable tangents. It's a delightfully spirited feature-length chat that's fun for all... who are all for fun. Dan & Conor's Bio: A producer & filmmaker living in Pittsburgh, Dan Mecca started The Film Stage with Jordan Raup in college at Buffalo & Conor O'Donnell is a post-production supervisor based in New York City & also serves as a critic for The Film Stage.

La película “Encuentros en la tercera fase” fue la gran fantasía que Steven Spielberg siempre quiso realizar. Ya desde niño, contempló una lluvia de meteoritos que le impresionó y le inspiro para realizar su primer largometraje como aficionado: Firelight. Las pasiones y aficiones de Spielberg son la ciencia ficción y la ufológica, y eso se nota en su trayectoria como director de cine. Pero hoy, vamos a centrarnos y analizar su película “Encuentro en la tercera fase”. Análisis de “Encuentros en la tercera fase” I. Introducción “Encuentros en la tercera fase” (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) es una película de ciencia ficción dirigida por Steven Spielberg, estrenada en 1977. Con un enfoque innovador sobre la vida extraterrestre y el contacto humano, esta obra es considerada un pilar del género y una de las contribuciones más significativas de Spielberg al cine. La película no solo se destacó por sus efectos especiales y narrativa visual, sino también por su profunda exploración de la curiosidad humana y la búsqueda de lo desconocido. II. Sinopsis La trama sigue a Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), un trabajador de líneas eléctricas que tiene un encuentro cercano con un objeto volador no identificado (OVNI). Tras el evento, Roy queda obsesionado con visiones de una montaña, lo que lo lleva a enfrentarse con su familia y a buscar respuestas desesperadamente. Paralelamente, una serie de fenómenos inexplicables y avistamientos de OVNIs en distintas partes del mundo captan la atención de científicos y militares, culminando en un contacto directo con extraterrestres en la Torre del Diablo, Wyoming. III. Temáticas Principales 1. La Curiosidad Humana y el Misterio del Universo La película explora la innata curiosidad humana y la atracción hacia lo desconocido. Roy Neary representa al hombre común cuya vida cambia irrevocablemente tras su encuentro con el misterio del universo. Su obsesión con la montaña es una metáfora de la búsqueda de respuestas y el deseo de comprender fenómenos más grandes que nosotros mismos. Este tema refleja el eterno deseo humano de descubrir y entender lo desconocido, una característica que ha impulsado tanto la exploración científica como la espiritual. 2. La Comunicación y el Lenguaje Universal Un aspecto central de la película es la comunicación entre humanos y extraterrestres a través de un lenguaje musical. La utilización de sonidos y luces para establecer un puente de comunicación refleja la idea de que, más allá de las barreras culturales y lingüísticas, existen formas universales de conexión. La película sugiere que la música, como expresión matemática y emocional, puede servir como un lenguaje universal, capaz de trascender las diferencias y fomentar el entendimiento entre diferentes formas de vida. 3. El Impacto del Encuentro en la Vida Cotidiana Spielberg retrata cómo un evento extraordinario puede alterar la vida ordinaria de las personas. La obsesión de Roy lo aleja de su familia, mostrando el conflicto entre la vida cotidiana y la búsqueda de algo más trascendental. La película cuestiona el sacrificio personal que a menudo acompaña la búsqueda de la verdad y el conocimiento, y cómo este conflicto puede llevar a una transformación radical en la percepción y las prioridades de una persona. IV. Estilo Visual y Efectos Especiales 1. Diseño Visual y Cinematografía “Encuentros en la tercera fase” es conocida por su innovador uso de efectos especiales y su cinematografía. Douglas Trumbull, encargado de los efectos visuales, creó secuencias que siguen siendo impresionantes décadas después de su estreno. El diseño de los OVNIs, con su compleja iluminación y formas, añadió una sensación de maravilla y misterio que contribuyó a la atmósfera del filme. Las escenas en la Torre del Diablo, con sus juegos de luces y colores, simbolizan el clímax del contacto extraterrestre y han quedado como imágenes icónicas en la historia del cine. 2. Música y Sonido La banda sonora, compuesta por John Williams, es una pieza clave en la película. La secuencia musical utilizada para comunicar con los extraterrestres es uno de los elementos más memorables del filme. Williams creó una melodía simple pero poderosa, que se convirtió en el tema central de la comunicación y simboliza el encuentro entre dos mundos. La música no solo acompaña la narrativa, sino que también desempeña un papel activo en el desarrollo de la trama, subrayando la idea de la música como un lenguaje universal. V. Influencia y Legado “Encuentros en la tercera fase” tuvo un impacto significativo en el género de la ciencia ficción y en la cultura popular en general. La película influyó en cómo se representan los encuentros con extraterrestres en el cine, alejándose del enfoque tradicional de invasiones hostiles para explorar una perspectiva más optimista y abierta sobre el contacto con otras civilizaciones. Su enfoque en la comunicación y la curiosidad resonó con audiencias de todo el mundo, y su legado perdura en la forma en que se percibe el misterio del universo y la posibilidad de vida más allá de la Tierra. VI. Conclusión “Encuentros en la tercera fase” no solo es una película visualmente impresionante, sino también una profunda exploración de la curiosidad humana, la comunicación y el impacto del misterio en la vida cotidiana. A través de su narrativa, efectos especiales innovadores y una banda sonora icónica, Steven Spielberg creó una obra que sigue siendo relevante y fascinante. La película invita a los espectadores a reflexionar sobre el deseo innato de descubrir lo desconocido y la capacidad de trascender nuestras limitaciones para conectar con algo más grande que nosotros mismos.

Acaba de cumplir 75 años la que para muchos es la mejor actriz de las últimas décadas y probablemente una de las tres o cuatro mejores intérpretes de la historia del cine. En este episodio celebramos el cumpleaños de Meryl Streep contándoos sus primeros años de carrera, el camino que le llevó a convertirse en la gran diva del cine que es hoy en día. También recordamos que hace 40 años fallecía Joseph Losey, director de películas como “El mensajero”, “Eva” o “El sirviente” y una de las víctimas de la infame “Caza de brujas” del comité que presidía el senador McCarthy, lo que hizo que desarrollara casi toda su carrera en Europa. Hemos charlado también con el actor Lamine Thior y la película de ciencia-ficción de esta semana es “Naves misteriosas”, un film que marcó el debut como director de cine de Douglas Trumbull, responsable de los efectos especiales de títulos como “2001, una odisea del espacio”, “Encuentros en la tercera fase” o “Blade runner”.

Welcome back to another episode of The Video Store Podcast, where we dive deep into the shelves to bring you some of the most intriguing, thought-provoking, and often overlooked gems in cinema history. Today, we're venturing into the realms of science fiction and the boundaries of human perception with four films that, each in their own right, challenge our understanding of reality, humanity, and the universe at large.First up, we have "The Quiet Earth" from 1985. This New Zealand sci-fi classic explores the profound and eerie calm after a scientific experiment gone awry seems to leave a lone scientist as the last man on Earth. The film is celebrated not just for its intriguing premise, but also for its breathtaking final scene, which has had film fans arguing for decades. The solitude and desolation captured in the film are palpable, making it a must-watch for those who appreciate the more introspective side of science fiction.Next up is "Enemy Mine," also from 1985. This film stands out for its exploration of themes of racism, camaraderie, and survival under the most unlikely circumstances. Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr.'s performances are the heart of this story. They portray two soldiers from opposing sides of an interstellar war, stranded on a desolate planet. Their journey from enemies to friends is a powerful commentary on understanding and tolerance that resonates just as strongly today.Moving on to a slightly earlier film, I am recommending the mind-bending world of "Altered States" from 1980. Directed by Ken Russell and based on the novel by Paddy Chayefsky, this movie takes us on a psychedelic journey through the human psyche. In it, William Hurt's character experiments on himself with a mixture of sensory deprivation and hallucinogenic drugs. The visual effects used to depict his experiences were groundbreaking at the time and remain impressively evocative, painting an often disturbing picture of the potential and peril of pushing the boundaries of human consciousness.Lastly, we have the environmental cautionary tale "Silent Running" from 1972. Directed by Douglas Trumbull, who was known for his special effects work on "2001: A Space Odyssey." This film tells the story of a botanist on a space station dedicated to preserving Earth's last natural environments. It's a poignant, ahead-of-its-time commentary on environmentalism and loneliness The highlights are Bruce Dern's compelling performance and the unforgettable presence of the small, yet endearing, service robots, Huey, Dewey, and Louie (love em).Each of these films explore themes that are as relevant today as they were when they were first released. From the solitude of "The Quiet Earth" and the unlikely alliance in "Enemy Mine" to the exploratory depths of "Altered States" and the environmental message of "Silent Running." Like all good SF films, they invite us to question, reflect, and marvel at the possibilities beyond our current understanding.So, whether you're a long-time fan of the genre or just looking for something different to watch this weekend, these films should provide plenty of food for thought. Thanks for joining me on this journey through the stars and the depths of the human mind. Until next time, keep those VCRs powered up.Subscribe to the Video Store Podcast* The Video Store Podcast* Apple Podcast* RSS This is a public episode.

Special effects wizard Douglas Trumbull hoped to bring his mind-bending 2001: A Space Odyssey visuals down to earth with Brainstorm, a 1983 sci fi thriller starring Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood. Unfortunately Wood's tragic death by drowning cast a pall over the film, delaying its release and resulting in a muddled narrative and baffling special effects sequences that failed to live up to Trumbull's lofty ambitions along with any hope of box office redemption. Join Sebastian and Troy as they don their psychic headsets, record their innermost fears and seek answers to the afterlife by discussing this cursed mess of a production.
Today, we talk about the proto-cyberpunk film, Brainstorm. Directed by a SFF cinema luminary, Douglas Trumbull, and with Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood in lead roles, this is a movie that asks what if Online was your feelings made fact?

This week we talk about one of the most iconic Sci-Fi films of all time. 1968s masterpiece created by Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke and Douglas Trumbull.
datum: 1 december 2023 gast: Jonas Govaerts Na de film samen te hebben bekeken in de Cinema van de Studio in Antwerpen bespreken we met Jonas Govaerts dit "meesterwerk" van Stanley Kubrick. We hebben het over die apen, de Iphone from space, de grijze balzak make-up en een dixi op de maan. Meer weten? FOKCAST 355 gaat over Douglas Trumbull. Correctie: Waar ik over Shelley Long roep bedoel ik natuurlijk Shelley Duvall van The Shining...
Cody, Robert, and Nat dive deep into the mind with a look at 1983's BRAINSTORM. Time tracks: 0:00 - BRAINSTORM Discussion 1:02:29- Next Movie and Outro
Tim and Jen review a film of great technical genius and great vacuity of story: Natalie Wood's final film, Brainstorm. But Jen liked at least half of it. Also, please send Tim all of your uneaten candy corn.There's a rundown on the Showscan process originally intended for Brainstorm from Douglas Trumbull himself on YouTube. Too bad it's in 360p. This fine Japanese documentary on Trumbull is in much higher quality, though.If you're super into the dialectic and want to go beyond Noguchi's and Lambert's account of the death of Natalie Wood, former prosecutor Sam Perroni has written a well-researched look into the case called…Brainstorm!And if you want more mind-bending visuals that weren't appreciated by the public at the time, listen to our episode on the Wachowskis' update of Speed Racer!

Late last year, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights announced their next flight. Dubbed the Enterprise mission, it will see the remains of several Star Trek luminaries journeying into the final frontier on the Vulcan Centaur rocket. Since the announcement, I've had the pleasure of interviewing friends and family members of the late, great cast and crew who will be blasting off next month. Throughout the months of April and May, I'll be releasing those interviews. Douglas Trumbull is a special effects legend, getting his start on Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and moving on to films like The Andromeda Strain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Trumbull is going to space on the Enterprise mission and his widow, Julia, joined me to talk about his legacy. The Enterprise mission is looking to blast off in June or July, and you'll be able to stream it live. For the latest on the flight's schedule, head over to their website.

This episode we interview Yasha Firooz from Sydney UFO Hunters. They are a small intimate group of friends that utilise night vision to image and record UFO sightings. Just like the late Douglas Trumbull (2001, Brainstorm) they realised that our ability to look into the infrared spectrum can be increased with technical assistance. Yasha generously supplies us with some footage and stills to show what they have recorded and some of the concepts behind their research. Sydney Ufo Hunters have a presence on Facebook and YouTube.
Recién coronada como la mejor película de todos los tiempos en la encuesta de directores, publicada por la revista Sight and Sound, cuesta separar a 2001 del estatus poco menos que olímpico al que se ha encaramado en poco más de cincuenta años, pero la pregunta es válida: ¿qué hace de esta película el actual parangón audiovisual contra el cual los directores más grandes se miden, se enfrentan, se arrodillan? La perfección. La ambición. La increíble riqueza temática que deriva de las secuencias e imágenes creadas por Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke (guionista), Geoffrey Unsworth (director de fotografía) y Douglas Trumbull (efectos especiales). Es indudable que bajo esa superficie inmaculada corre el fantasma de la frialdad clínica, de la falta de emoción, pero ante lo grandioso del despliegue puede que ese factor corra por parte del propio espectador, cuya capacidad para maravillarse ante este objeto no ha disminuido y, probablemente, no lo hará. De eso y más se habla en esta podcast.
After my last episode with the wonderful, artfully creepy 'The Dead Zone'...I wanted more. More Walken. More Sci-Fi. More 1983. And then Louise Fletcher died. And it was all right there: BRAINSTORM. Douglas Trumbull's 1983 science-fiction passion project-turned-albatross. On the surface it has it all: a killer cast, a great premise (what if you could experience the thoughts and feelings of other people through a breakthrough of computer technology), and a proven special effects commodity in its director. But as always seems to be the case with the not-quite-great films that start so promisingly...there were in retrospect warning signs. Trumbull intended to film the movie in his groundbreaking film format 'Showscan' but the studio balked at the expense and need for theater owners to install expensive new equipment. Then, various screenwriters took stabs at the script. And infamously, Natalie Wood, filming her return to the big screen after taking a break to be a Mom, died during filming while on a mysterious overnight yacht trip onboard husband Robert Wagner's boat, with only Christopher Walken along. The case was never solved and was last reopened in 2018. So, for all that sturm und drang...how is 'Brainstorm' as a film? Listen to the episode to find out.
This week, I was so pleased to welcome two friends and the hosts of The Film Stage's excellent podcast The B-Side, which covers movie stars in a fascinating way by focusing not on the films that made or kept them famous but the ones that actors made in between. The delightful show just celebrated its four-year anniversary and I had such a fun time joining hosts Dan Mecca and Conor O'Donnell to discuss a handful of films starring Marisa Tomei last year.A producer and filmmaker living in Pittsburgh, Dan Mecca started The Film Stage with Jordan Raup in college at Buffalo and Conor O'Donnell is a post-production supervisor based in New York City and also serves as a critic for The Film Stage.Joining me to celebrate four former crew members turned directors and the diverse films that resulted from their work, in this episode, we tackle Douglas Trumbull's Silent Running, Jack Fisk's Violets are Blue, Ava DuVernay's Selma, and Jesse V. Johnson's Avengement.Originally Posted on Patreon (8/26/22) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/71068857Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music ArchiveLogo: Kate Gabrielle (KateGabrielle.com)

A BIGGER BOAT: CLOSE EMPIRES OF THE THIRD SUNTheme song maestro and cinema expert Ryan joins us to talk two of his favorite Spielbergs. One is about a man willingly leaving his family and the other is about a kid unwillingly leaving his family. 1977's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND was Spielberg's big swing after the cachet JAWS bought him. After numerous versions of a script were commissioned (including one by pod fave Paul Schrader) Spielberg eventually Dick Cheney'd the whole thing and ended up as the sole screenwriter (one of two times in his career he would have this credit). Spielberg loved Kubrick and 2001 and so he enlisted Douglas Trumbull to do the FX for Close Encounters - FX that still cooks more than 40 years later. Despite going way over budget and shooting schedule, all of the effort is on the screen with some of Spielberg's most beautiful shooting of his career on display. The story has its hiccups, to be sure, but the essential nature of the film, searching for meaning and connection, still resonates. 1987's EMPIRE OF THE SUN was based on the memoir by JG Ballard and adapted by podcast fave Tom Stoppard. Young Bruce Wayne learns about life the hard way as an English boy in a Japanese internment camp. Some of Spielberg's strongest-ever sequences, filled with beautiful narrative and visual austerity are mixed with his penchant for explicitly telling you what is happening and how you should feel. It's an odd tension, some of his best with his flaws also on bold display. Still, as Ryan tells us, it is one of Spielberg's very best. Two good films this week in our penultimate Spielberg episode!THEME SONG: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralJack: jackk1096

The late, great Douglas Trumbull was known primarily for his groundbreaking visual effects work in films like 2001, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Blade Runner - but he was a visionary director as well, and though he only made a couple of films, their striking imagery and heartfelt messages have become a formative part of many young science fiction fans' lives - especially ours here at MG! Join us tonight as we take a look at his first effort, the cli-fi classic Silent Running, starring Bruce Dern as a spacebound eco-terrorist!
