The link also mentions which episodes get commentaries, whee!
The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Huh. No one called me and Kristen to do commentary on Safety Canary. How odd.
It says "Cocktail Bunny" is noirish. How noir is it, on a scale from How the Grinch Stole Christmas to Sunset Boulevard ?
I've not seen either flick. It has many noir elements in the final act, especially.
I've not seen either flick.
I recommend Sunset Boulevard. The other one, not so much.
The other one, not so much.
You're talking the Ron Howard one, right, not the Chuck Jones?

You're talking the Ron Howard one, right, not the Chuck Jones?
Oh God yes.
Oh God yes.
Phew.
eta Also, I can second the Sunset Blvd. recommendation.
Late for the "Green Hills of Earth" love, but,
I do still love The Green Hills of Earth. Makes me sniffly.
The Green Hills of Earth is so good that it should have been written by Bradbury instead.
Gods, yes. I still wish someone would write music worthy of those lyrics. I think of them--well, thought of them--every time we launched a shuttle. Rhysling would have been a right bastard to know, but he was a wonderful harkback to the blind Irish harper working for passage and meals, commenting on society's graces and foibles, pretty much exempt from official retribution. The lyrics still give me chills.
I'm thinking of both Green Hills of Earth and The Man Who Sold the Moon today, what with SpaceShipOne being successful. The MwStM is evoked because Mike Melvill is over 60.
Since the ship wasn't made by teenagers, I think the flight can't really compare to Rocket Ship Gallileo.
On the other hand, I'm also thinking about Salvage One.
