• Silent Runnung (1972)

    One of my absolute favorites as a kid, which we would have seen at the engineering marvel Edens Theater, world's largest paraboloid.

    Nobody does stark raving mad but quietly nuts like Bruce Dern. He just
    turned 90. He has a, er, dispute at the office and solves it in a way he shouldn't have.

    Douglas Trumbull directed, then went on to help develop IMAX as a film
    process. Didn't remember "Mike" Cinimo's writing credit, nor "Steve"
    Bochco's.

    Peter Schikele (PDQ Bach) scored the film and wrote two songs for Joan
    Baez that found a larger audience than the movie.

    If you don't have a better source, it's on YouTube.

    Cimino

    Has Arthur ever done a watch party of his movies?

    Peter Schikele (PDQ Bach) scored the film and wrote two songs for Joan
    Baez that found a larger audience than the movie.

    "Silent Running" and "Rejoice in the Sun" were the two songs, the latter
    used over opening credits as an instrumental and sung over closing
    credits.

    A classic. I am shocked, but JustWatch confirms it's not available on
    "free streaming" (outside of YouTube, which has ads), only as a VOD rental.

    I gotta say... Unless the ad is integrated or edited into the video,
    YouTube rarely serves me an ad. If I get one, it's a single ad ahead of
    the video. I don't get interrupted video.

    In a box in storage. But I still have it!

    Baez singing. :D

    A pre-spellcheck prequel actually. Bruce Dern had a terrible time
    trying to properly mispronounce his scripted dialog.
