I wasn’t a fan at all of Napoleon Dynamite but the fact that this stars Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) and Sam Rockwell makes me optimistic.
Let’s get something out of the way right at the start: I think this film is flawless. Please continue reading after you have picked yourself up off the floor.
1 commentWhen I saw Moon there followed a Q&A session with the film’s director, Duncan Jones. What follows is a bit of a brain dump of some of what I felt were the more interesting things raised. Spoilers throughout, so don’t read until you’ve seen the film.
2 commentsSam Rockwell goes crazy on the moon. Looks excellent; reminds me of ’70s SF like Silent Running.
There is a phrase that is often used to describe a point where something is no longer worth watching. That phrase is ‘jumped the shark’, and has its origins in an episode of the tedious sit-com Happy Days. During the screening of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy I realised that there was room for a new phrase with a similar meaning, and that phrase is ‘switched the windscreen wipers on’.
