An Alien Place and Here's To The Future!



Date: January 10, 2016
Who With: KC for An Alien Place/JL for both
YTD Movie Count: 4/5
Snacks: 3 popcorn bowls total - mine had nutritional yeast and sesame seeds (included) 1 Diet Coke and JL got a beer ($6.00)

Reaction:  Well, that first one wasn’t an hour and that second one definitely was. The Fort Missoula Alien Detention Center depicted in “An Alien Place” is forever interesting. This half hour doc is a good intro and had the feeling of those video at national park visitor centers. Not necessarily surprising since it was funded by the National Park Service. Makes me wonder is there’s a new designation heading the Fort’s way…
“Here’s to the Future!” is an experiment. It starts in fits and starts with the lens cap on and sound levels that tear your ears out from the insides. The bulk of the movie is running a scene from “The Cabin in the Cotton” over and over and over with different scene partners. It’s a fun invitation into movie making magic but sometimes the “6 Minutes Staring at a Table Listening to Fleetwood Mac” magic can be cut down.

Recommendation: Let’s Go! | Let it come to you [you may have to find them] | Let it pass
Next Up: Not sure, maybe Carol
