8 - Problems With the Tanks

Your helium delivery may be late this week.

Director's Commentary:

7 -An "Indoor" Kind of Weekend

A fond tribute to the most beautifully dumb movie every made: The Core.

Director's Commentary:

• True story: I saw The Core in the theater. At the end, our heroes are rescued from the ocean floor off Hawaii by attracting the attention of a pod of Orcas (I am not making this up). At this point I leaned over to my buddy and said "It wouldn't be Orcas--they're cold water." We both though about this for a second, then busted up laughing at the thought that, after all the pseudo-science and absurdist hand-waving of the previous ninety minutes, I was finally roused from my popcorn-infused stupor by a perceived cetacean inconsistency(1).

• And for the record: The Core used the term "unobtanium" way before Avatar.

(1) As it turns out, Orcas are found around the Hawaiian islands, so who's laughing now, eh?

Director's Commentary:

• I put in the mention of alcohol as an homage to a pretty obscure 1950's moving featuring a young Frank Gorshin (TV's Riddler). Now I remember that alcohol was the alien's weapon, and that their fatal weakness was light, leading to their destruction by the headlights of the cars gathered at the local lovers' lane. Ah, they just don't make 'em like that any more. Or maybe they do...
