Nice shout out! I laughed, at any rate.
I, for one, was glad to see Palpatine as the punchline. I have been missing JLCM too, and while the Crappy Movie Podcast is pretty neat, it doesn’t have a regular update schedule like The Triple feature.
“My God, It’s Full of Stars” is from 2010, not 2001.
I think I got the movies and the book mixed up.
Doesn’t Dave say that when he enters the monolith at the end of the book?
It’s been a while since I’ve read it and/or seen Kubrik’s version.
HAH…. nice shout out to Joe, I read Joe Loves Crappy Movies too!
Great cameo, and I enjoyed reading the blog post as well. I miss the golden days with you three!
“Golden days?” But it was only a few months ago!
That said, I’m sad that a lot of the contemporaries I came up with aren’t updating anymore or have moved on to other projects. Zach Miller, Mitch Clem, Joe Dunn… they’re mah boys!
At first I though that guy was Jack Nicholson and I figured that maybe he narrated the film (who would hire jack to narrate a film).
I laughed at the last clip of Palpatine waiting outside the theater door of “are we done yet” on the JLCM site.
Great comic and great homage!
I really do want to see this movie, but I can’t find it playing anywhere near here. Which is strange, since we’ve got a bundle of IMAXs in the area. Even The Tech Museum doesn’t have it, and this would be right up their alley. Just gotta keep looking I suppose.
@Relaxing Dragon, it’s extremely limited. Not a single IMAX theater in Texas received it. if you go to imax.com they list every theater that is showing Hubble.
I’ve really missed listening to you guys while I work. Please do a Top 10 show at the end of the year.
I’m positive “My God, it’s full of stars” is from 2001: A Space Odyssey, not 2010. Here’s a link to the Dr. David Bowman quotes page on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0002896/quotes (which lists it). Dave says that just as he enters the monolith and the iconic lights play across his face as they do across Tom’s in the above comic. 😛 By 2010, Bowman had already entered the monolith and was actually a being of pure energy, which wasn’t really discussed, I believe, until 2061 or 3001.
Anyway, a fine comic, and I like the reference to Joe Loves Crappy Movies, though I admittedly read it less than I did Theater Hopper. 😛 I love references to 2001, though. Keep it up!
I could be wrong, but I think “My God, it’s full of stars” was a line added by Arthur Clark in the novelization of 2001, then used at the beginning of 2010. But it’s been forever since I’ve seen 2010, so someone should double-check me.
Huzzah! Palpatine’s been MIA for too long.
Nicely done, Tom.
… NERD! *punch*
Palpatine! Yes! Nice one. Joe would approve.
So I actually thought Palpatine was Dave Bowman in the comic. After traveling through the Monolith in 2001 Bowman grows old and dies before becoming space baby…:) So sadly inside joke zipped o’er my head…I hate that when that happens.
Is it sad that I got the JLCM reference, but not the 2001 reference?
