  2. Just watched #TheArtificeGirl #movie. Excellent. No action, mostly just dialogue, but great performances (esp. #TatumMatthews) and lots to think about.

    I was happy to see some ideas vaguely similar to ones in my #AI in #Education #ShortStory (at osugisakae.com). (Happy because I'm not totally off-base, I guess.)

    Reminds me of #TheManFromEarth. It feels like a stage play translated well onto the big screen. I would pay to go see both on the stage.

    Also #LanceHenriksen.

  3. CW: Star Trek actor death

    Sad to hear #TonyTodd passed away.
    I mostly know him from his roles of Kurn, Worf's brother, in #STTheNextGeneration and #STDeepSpaceNine, as well as adult Jake Sisko in The Visitor.
    But he was also great in one of my all-time favourite films, #TheManFromEarth, in which he played anthropologist Dan.
    His deep baritone (I think?) voice is very recognisable, and recently made my face light up when I suddenly recognised him as the voice of #Slyrak in the #DOTA anime.

    See memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/T some more of his roles.

  4. Want to watch a film starring the actors who played the following #StarTrek characters?

    as well as #AnnikaPeterson, #AlexisThorpe, #EllenCrawford and #WilliamKatt?

    Then here's my periodic reminder that #TheManFromEarth exists and is proof you don't need a big budget and a lot of sets to make a brilliant film.
    Just a great story (in this case a screenplay by #JeromyBixby, who also penned several #STTOS episodes) and good actors who can portray that story.

  6. #TheManFromEarth review:

    First, it was written by the author of #StarTrek’s “Mirror, Mirror”, and stars #Phlox and #Kurn / old #JakeSisko. So I’m already sold.

    It’s zero-budget, and shot in SD DV, so it looks pretty bad. Esp in low light, which is a lot of it.

    It really felt like one of those 1 act plays stretched into a 90min indie film. It prob would work better on stage actually. It’s 99% just a handful of characters in a single room, talking.

  7. Jerome Bixby: «The man from Earth»
    di Diego Rossi

    Jerome Bixby è stato un grande autore di fantascienza. Per uno strano gioco del destino, la sceneggiatura di “The man from Earth” è stata la prima che ha immaginato e l’ultima della sua carri
