Produced by Paramount, shown on PBS, starring Jane Alexander, william Devane and featuring a very young Lukas Haas ( with a young Kevin Costner and Rebecca Demornay in very small roles as young couple ). Much more emotionally involving and moving than "The Day After" could ever hope to be.<br /><br />Dep1701Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-71733191380572249512014-07-17T09:12:29.556-04:002014-07-17T09:12:29.556-04:00The reason Logan and Jessica strip in Box's ic...The reason Logan and Jessica strip in Box's ice palace, is that they are soaking wet and they don't want their clothes to freeze on them. Hence the grabbing of the furs. There is a deleted scene that was filmed of Box wanting them to pose in an embrace so he can sculpt them nude ( also further forming the beginnings of their attraction to each other ).<br /><br />P.S. If you don't already own it, the complete score was released on a limited edition CD by Film Score Monthly. It's well worth picking up.<br /><br />Dep1701Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-60322176521134085632014-07-01T22:29:30.400-04:002014-07-01T22:29:30.400-04:00The opening credits to Soylent Green were created ...The opening credits to Soylent Green were created by Chuck Braverman.He made some films that appeared on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

Someone did a similar film in the mid '80s called "Night of the Comet" (viewable <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRrniG0RWsA" rel="nofollow">here</a> -- man, I love this age of YouTube!). But the whole gimmick of empty clothes with powder in place of bodies was done before either of those, in a Star Trek episode called "The Omega Glory" written by Gene Roddenberry himself (viewable <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgFtWmtirtI" rel="nofollow">here</a>).<br /><br />There was another notable disaster film in the early '80s called "Virus", aka "Fukkatsu No Hi" (more info <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukkatsu_no_hi" rel="nofollow">here</a>). I caught the last 10 minutes on cable as a kid and it scared the crap out of me. There are 2 versions: a Japanese cut and an International cut, and there are some sequencing differences between the two, as well as a difference in length (the Japanese version is longer). Here's the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4unFUNAXOs" rel="nofollow">Japanese cut</a>.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978517118599802301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-65811658264272458412014-06-22T01:20:16.415-04:002014-06-22T01:20:16.415-04:00Quickly becoming my favorite podcast!Quickly becoming my favorite podcast!Ponchhttp://www.barnrunner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-28111151077482628222014-06-20T08:01:45.832-04:002014-06-20T08:01:45.832-04:00This is one of the most entertaining, funniest sho...This is one of the most entertaining, funniest shows you guys have ever done!
