Penguin always teases me when I play with his tauntaun action figure (complete with a little trap door) and shout “And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!”
Naturally, I geeked out when I saw Courtney Clark’s AMAZING dead tauntaun wedding cake commissioned by Chris and Julie Trevas.
Thanks for the tip, Ray

I’m serving grand jury duty today. Thank you for all the fun stories, advice, and this 30 Rock clip.
But I think I’m just going to take my chances by dressing nicely and acting professionally. ^_____^

Star Wars: Uncut is a collaborative film project. They took Star Wars: A New Hope, cut it into 473, 15 second clips and letting the internet reshoot them. At the end, they’re going to piece them back together for a final film.
Brilliant!
I can’t way to see the final. It’ll be atrocious and awesome all at the same time.

Everything in movies is fake. That’s understandable considering the nature of the medium. But in order for a story to work, it needs to be believable. That’s where knowledge comes into play. This is especially true when you look at your premise.
Take Iron Man for example. The key to powered armor is energy. The solve this problem early on with the mini arc generator. They don’t even bother explaining how the arc generator works because if they did, all the engineers would be able to poke holes in it. Just by telling us, and then showing us that it generates massive amounts of energy is enough. We buy it.
Then you look at something like Untraceable. The premise is a killer who can’t be traced through the internet. Even basic understanding of how the internet works would show that it could never happen.
But “reality” is different in every movie. Something that could work in Star Wars may not work in Apollo 13 because they have different rules because they exist in different universes. Certain things like physics, math, etc, are still true because we accept them as universal. But there are aspects that we believe because we understand that Star Wars is a fantasy.
The moment your audience says, “No way!” with disdain, you’ve lost them. Any credibility you’ve built is out the window and they’ve written off the entire film. This is especially true with your premise. If no one will believe your premise, you’re fighting them the whole way.
So do your research. Make sure you stuff makes sense so your audience will believe the lie.
