S01-E01 - The Man from Earth
-
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.

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 https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Tony_Todd some more of his roles.

Want to watch a film starring the actors who played the following #StarTrek characters?
- #Kurn's Tony Todd
- #DoctorPhlox's John Billingsley
- Seamus, #JeremyLucas and #Batai's Richard Riehle
- #Zahir's David Lee Smith
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.You can watch it on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAX2RuZm-Fk

#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.
