Hey guys; what are some of your favorite movie clichés that are completely unreal?
One of my favorites is the detective that sees some suspicious substance on the floor; tastes it, and immediately knows what it is, sometimes even giving you the exact chemical composition!
Who would taste anything from the floor, first of all, but also, I don't know about you, but I couldn't tell if something is gasoline or battery acid by having a taste!
Hey guys.
I've been listening to "Behind the Screen Door" since the first episode and love the show.
My question is this.
Have you guys seen Kevin Smith's horror/thriller flick "Red State"? If so, what did you think of it? And what do you think of the way Smith has gone about getting the movie to people, such as his "Red State Tour" and the direct-to-video option? Do you know of any other big-named directors that have tried this method of distribution?
In prepping for a lengthy car trip I decided to go through my Blu Ray collection and transfer a few digital copies onto to my PC to stock up my iPhone for the monotony. Much to my surprise most of the movies that I owned had digital copies that had expired.
Copies of the film that exist as actual physical media on a real DVD in the case that I bought and purchased. As a digital download I can understand maybe removing them from servers to make bandwith for newer films but to say that the data on a DVD has expired and is useless because I didn't activate a code on something I own just seems super shady to me.
I ended up going through all my movies that included digital copies and some studios didn't have fine print expiration dates while others have printed dates on them yet don't enforce it. And on the other hand studios like Warner Brothers have ensured I'll never watch any of their films on the go by having dates mere months after the films release. What do you guys think of this, do the studios have a right to sell you a product on physical media then deactivate it because you didn't use it fast enough?
Out of the four Directors (Michael Bay, Chris Nolan, Alfonso Cuaron, Rupert Wyatt) who are being approached to Direct the new Twilight Zone movie, who do you think is the best choice? Also do you guys have any opinion on the upcoming Three Stooges movie?
Hey guys! At what point do you start to consider someone to be "box-office poison"? Your conversation about Anna Faris' less than great movie career has me wondering if it's time to place her in "B.O.P" territory, of if there are other things to consider that would prevent that from being the case. Also, on the last podcast, Alex mentioned that he would like to hear someone like Mastodon do a soundtrack, and I wanted to know if he was aware that they did the score for Jonah Hex? (It also featured a cameo from Brent Hinds)
David Warner will always be best known by me as Jon Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2, but I understand that he has quite a respectable film career as well. On the other hand: he was in the MST3K classic exercise in fantasy misery Quest of the Delta Knights playing not only the Obi-Wan Kenobi-type mentor, but the main villain as well!
What are your guys' favorite examples of a well-respected actor shamelessly slumming it?

Hey guys love the podcast keep it up.
So I also write for a website where I write video game reviews and features. I have found that sometimes I have trouble concentrating unless I am wearing headphones and playing music. Generally something without words my most frequent choice is the Tron Legacy soundtrack. My question is do you two have things you have to do before or during your writing to keep yourself focused and less distracted?
Also thanks for answering a previous question of mine it was great feeling and your responses filled me with confidence.
