326 - Spaceketball, "The Something Like Science With Mr. Blue Show", Some Memorable Holiday Mam-...Memories, and "What Would Happen If A Megalomaniac Director Met An Unfilmable Script? -- Orson Welles"

11:56 AM Mr. Brown
Ok guys, any thoughts on the Roswell Rock?
11:59 AM Mr. Silver
There is a special rock in Roswell?
11:59 AM Ms. Rose
I'm sorry, I'm way behind. WTF is 'Roswell Rock'?
12:02 PM Mr. Silver
Maybe it's like Schoolhouse Rock for aliens.
12:03 PM Mr. Brown
12:03 PM Mr. Silver
"I'm Just a Probe"
"Hyperspace Conjunction Junction"
"Motherbrain Necessity"
12:03 PM Mr. Brown
It’s a hoax.
But it was on TV with that crazy (Hands up) ALIENS guy with the high hair, so I decided to look up the hoax.
We are a very advanced civilization from space, smarter than you. See my rock?”
12:06 PM Mr. Silver
You know how I love me some advanced alien rocks...
"No one but a person who has a laser etching system can tell how it was carved."
They cut diamonds with lasers...a piece of lodestone wouldn't be much of a chore.
12:16 PM Mr. Blue
Heh… I just Googled "crazy aliens guy"
First result is him: Giorgio Tsoukalos
Wow! The first 3 pages are him.
12:18 PM Mr. Blue
Tsoukalos is a 1998 graduate of Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, with a bachelor's degree in sports information and communication.
So he's perfectly qualified to discuss ancient aliens.
12:18 PM Ms. Rose
Professor Tsoukalos is a god among men. At least that's what my dad says.
12:18 PM Mr. Brown
Yes. Yes he is.
12:18 PM Ms. Rose
All of his power comes from his hair. Like Samson.
12:18 PM Mr. Brown
He will be able to discuss their offensive and defensive play statistics when they come to town and attack the local ball teams.
12:21 PM Mr. Silver
(Tsoukalos) "Then, in 1974, the Air Force’s Project Bluebook agents double dribbled the data."



12:19 PM Mr. Blue
Be sure to check out my new show on the National Geographic Channel: “Quantum and Particle Physics with Mr. Blue”
12:21 PM Mr. Brown
People would watch that.
I created a egg-celerator. It whips eggs at a wall. Boom! SCIENCE!”
singing "THIS IS LIKE SCIENCE WITH MR. BLUE"
12:25 PM Ms. Rose
"This Is Science--With Mr. Blue"
12:25 PM Mr. Silver
"Lets see what happens!" Starring Mr. Blue!
12:25 PM Mr. Blue
*cut to shot of me looking startled by camera* “Uhh... quantum means like... fast or light maybe? And particles are like... little things I guess.. very tiny. And physics is like physical stuff.”
12:27 PM Mr. Blue
*me sweating* "Anyway, today on the show we're going to uhh... find out what happens... (fumbling in box of stuff) if you put this nitrogen and gasoline together!"
12:27 PM Mr. Brown
I’m going to show you how atoms collide.” (pans to structure with two shotguns rigged facing each other.)
12:28 PM Mr. Silver
"This is a demonstration of the...umm...Hindenburg Uncertainty Principle. I'm really not certain what's gonna happen when I set off all the hydrogen in here. AKA the 'Oh The Humanity' test. OK...the kids are telling me the Principal has left the building, so here we go with the...uh...Hindenburg thing. (hits button fwooOOM!) “AWESOME!"
12:33 PM Mr. Silver
(what a mess...lot of editing to keep this stuff)
12:34 PM Ms. Rose
Editing? Who said 'editing'? The 'Preditor' is on the loose. Rawr.
12:38 PM Mr. Silver
(smacks hand) "My blog! Down!"



7:05 AM Mr. Silver
Happy Mrs. Silver's Birthday.
Everyone decorate a tree?
7:06 AM Mr. Green
LOL
No tree.
7:06 AM Mr. Brown
NOPE
I don't even have lights up yet.
7:06 AM Mr. Silver
I'll lie for you.
7:09 AM Mr. Silver
So I ran across this one from Dec 28 2011 this morning:
(Agent with one of the old crap tablets) "I just don't get it. There's no period to put in the email. You know, there's dashes."
(me, singing in my head) "and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen..."
(her) "and commas"
(me) "and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen..."
(her) "and semicolons and stuff, but I can't find a period on this thing."
7:15 AM Mr. Silver
Didn't even have to make it up as a goof...it really happened.
7:22 AM Mr. Silver
Anyway, my Thanksgiving was pretty good. 
I don't usually collapse under the weight of the feast.
But I did.
8:09 AM Mr. Silver
Did I hear right that someone left the TV on a Skin-emax feature during your Thanksgiving, Mr. Brown?
8:10 AM Mr. Brown
No, that happened one time when I was a kid.
LOL
8:15 AM Mr. Silver
Hehe
"What are they doing? Uh...They're...basting the turkey."



8:32 AM Mr. Blue
Watched Touch of Evil and Zero Theorem.
Zero Theorem is definitely Gilliam-esque.
I liked both.
8:44 AM Mr. Silver
Can something be Gilliam-esque if Gilliam directed it?
8:47 AM Mr. Silver
So what was Touch of Evil?
"The Michael Jackson Story"?
Too late?
8:47 AM Mr. Blue
Heh
No, the one with Heston and Orson Welles with the really long tracking shot opener.
8:47 AM Mr. Blue
It was good... classic noir stuff with snappy dialogue and great acting.
8:49 AM Mr. Silver
Cool
8:49 AM Mr. Blue
Heston, Welles, Vivienne Leigh. I even spotted Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Apparently though, the final version isn't what Welles had in mind. The studio cut it up and did re-shoots without him. It was hard for me to tell what was re-shot and what was original.
The story about it is that Welles went to some studio exec that had a pile of unused scripts and he said "gimme the worst one" to prove he can make any script into a good film.
He also let the actors rewrite their own lines as they saw fit.
9:21 AM Mr. Silver
Studio exec "How's that movie going I made the bet with Welles about? 'Touch of Pudding'?"
Flunky "It's a disaster sir. Orson has been drunk for about a week."
Studio exec "Good...arrogant bastard.
9:30 AM Mr. Blue
That's funny, cuz he plays a fat drunk in the movie. And the first time he shows up on screen people are like "boy...you don't look too good", and I was saying the same thing.
9:30 AM Mr. Silver
Doesn't even realize they were filming him and cutting him in...he thought he was directing...
9:31 AM Mr. Blue
LOL
He keeps asking for drinks and food and candy too. The camera just happened to be rolling.
9:31 AM Mr. Silver
Hehe
9:32 AM Mr. Blue
It's hard to tell how much of it is him, and whether or not he's got some outfit on to make him look fatter.
I know he got big near the end but this was only 17 years after Citizen Kane, he was pretty fit in that.
9:34 AM Mr. Silver
(whispering) "Mr. Welles...we're still tracking but we're way off script with this opening shot. They can only walk past the car so many times.  Its starting to get weird. What are we going for here, sir? Mr. Welles?"
"ZzzzzzZZZzz...."
9:35 AM Mr. Blue
LOL
9:36 AM Mr. Silver
(legit LOL)
Yay “frozen peas”!
9:36 AM Mr. Blue
*IN* July....
Welles: Why? That doesn't make any sense. Sorry. There's no known way of saying an English sentence in which you begin a sentence with "in" and emphasize it. Get me a jury and show me how you can say "in July" and I'll... go down on you.
9:40 AM Mr. Silver
9:41 AM Mr. Blue
Ever see the wine commercial? He's sloshed.
9:41 AM Mr. Silver
No, didn't see that one.
9:41 AM Mr. Blue
Paul Masson
9:42 AM Mr. Silver
Oh that's right
There's footage of him hammered, huh?  Have to search that one.
9:45 AM Mr. Blue
Yeah
Just search Orson Welles wine. It's right there.
