You Want To Know What July At South Pole Is Like?

[funranium]

Then Hollywood has provided the means for you, The Consumer, to experience it. The method is simple:

1 - Get a bottle of robust spirits. I recommend something like Jamesons. Begin drinking.

2 - Watch "Moon". Pay close attention to the desperate, sad and resigned end-of-contract eyes on Sam. Continue drinking.

3 - Realize that the experience, much like a winter in Antarctica, is not over yet. Watch "Dark Star". Continue drinking until the pain and consciousness go away.

Congratulations! You have just had the South Pole Winter Experience!

Seriously, awesome movie. I suspect many more viewings of "Moon" are in my future.

Man, I haven't see Dark Star in years.

It is South Pole Station traditional viewing during the doldrums of August, just as John Carpenter's "The Thing" is mandatory on station closing.

H and I saw it yesterday. I liked it but was also a little disappointed: as soon as I knew the premise - lone man on lunar base finds another man who looks like him - the entire plot of the movie was foreknown. There were no counterintuitive but logical consequences and nothing much was said, meaning it had to rely on acting and atmosphere. Fortunately it had plenty of both, and quality.

PS Wednesday is a go.

So, um, I guess this is a delicate question, but have you left and/or shot 15,000 clones of yourself at Pole? If so, are they conscious? Will the world soon face an invasion of the Phil Army? And does that make you Jango Fett? And...

I must report, with disappointment, that I do not have a clone army at Pole. Nor are their alien storage tunnels full of cryogenically stored alien embryos.

HOWEVER, based upon the sheer number of reports that people have "seen this guy who looks just like me" there may in fact be a Phil Army scattered about America.

I can neither confirm nor deny this allegations.

I saw Moon before it premiered, here at the DGA and was constantly reminded of your Antarctic tales. Although an au natural 15 yard sprint in space would be a little more taxing I imagine.

I have tried to retell the tale of Jesse vs. The Horrible "Film Project" In The Desert, but I find there are gaps in my memory of this seminal event in your Hollywood career.

Please, as the Teleltubbies say, "Again!"
