Chillpak Hollywood Hour #176

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #176

from Chillpak Hollywood Hour by Phil Leirness

It’s 112 degrees Fahrenheit at the offices of Rational Exuberance North, as we post this … No matter how hot it gets, and no matter how hot tempers get in Washington, D.C. where Stephen Colbert visited Congress, or in Hollywood, where the Screen Actors Guild held their annual elections, or in bankruptcy court where Blockbuster filed for Chapter 11, or on television, where “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” shines a bright light on the plight of hundreds of thousands of rape survivors who have to wait up to thirteen years to have their rape kit evidence tested … No matter how HOT … You can always enjoy the coolness of your Chillpak Hollywood Hour! Show business. The BUSINESS of show. The politics of running a business AND the politics of putting on a show. Dean and Phil touch ‘em all. Enjoy!

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #175

from
Chillpak Hollywood Hour by Phil Leirness

Dean Haglund tasked Phil Leirness with providing a primer on the work of the late Claude Chabrol, a founding figure of the French New Wave, and a prolific film artist who has often been described as the “French Alfred Hitchcock”. Phil approaches this fulfills this task with his usual thoroughness, so keep that Netflix queue handy! Dean and Phil just got back from a screening of the 2nd edit of their feature documentary, The Truth Is Out There and they share their frustrations, their hopes, their aims and the challenges facing them moving forward. Fall is traditionally the season when it becomes safe for adults (or those youths with discriminating tastes) to return to the cinema, so Dean and Phil continue the cinematic discussion with two films they’re looking forward to, one about to be released AND one currently being cast. Plus they take on the marketing of Never Let Me Go and express their delight over the latest television adventures of Martin Scorsese, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. It’s YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour.

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #174

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #174

from Chillpak Hollywood Hour by Phil Leirness

Dean is back from bicycling, wining and dining his way through Provence in France. He and Phil commiserate on the difficulties in getting LAST week’s installment of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour to you (yes, YOU!) their listeners. The ninth anniversary of 9/11 leads to a spirited and illuminating discussion about the events of that day and the many and varied responses to it, including the evolving attitudes towards the U.S. government and Islam. From a pastor in Florida who wants to burn the Quran to Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, who issued his “Ten Commandments” of the Apple App Store, Dean and Phil take on both controversies and how they are being framed as “freedom of expression” issues. Your friends in podcasting then turn to entertainment to remember the great French New Wave director Claude Chabrol, to express their enthusiasm over a couple of television projects currently in development, and to assess the merits of a handful of forthcoming, current and recent theatrical releases. We thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy.

Skype Files Celebrates September 10th

Skype Files Celebrates September 10th
8 Sep 2010 | 5:41 pm MDT

It's that time of year again. Leaves are falling, temperatures are cooling, and The X-Files is turning 17. You're probably thinking, "Has it really been that long? Am I really that old?". Yes, it has been that long, but no, you are never too old for an X-Files anniversary party.

So join the Skype Philes this Friday, September 10th at 9 pm ET as they celebrate 17 years of great television. The night will start out with the "Pilot" and end with "Requiem", two classically amazing episodes.

If you've never been to Skype Files, click here to learn how to join. And we'll see you in Bellefleur...in the rain and the mud and the rain and the mud.

They had us at, "...in the rain and the mud."

On September 10th 1993, The X-Files pilot premiered at 9pm on Fox and attracted a devoted fan base that would remain loyal, intelligent and vocal for the next 17 years.

Written by Chris Carter and directed by Robert Mandel, the "Pilot" laid the groundwork for a sophisticated and fascinating mythology that would run through the series' 9 seasons and first feature film.  The episode also introduced two relatively unknown actors to the silver screen who would soon become household names.

Fans tuned in week to week to follow agents Mulder and Scully down the rabbit hold of interesting cases and unparalleled physical and emotional chemistry.

With an eerie score from composer Mark Snow, and production values surpassing that of anything else on television, The X-Files began to feel less like a television show and more like a 202 part film. In its 9 year run, The X-Files brought quality entertainment, but what started with manhunts and conspiracies soon gave way to philosophy and life affirming lessons; lessons a devoted fan base took to heart.

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #173

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #173

from Chillpak Hollywood Hour by Phil Leirness

It’s Labor Day here in the U.S. A national holiday, plus a bicycle trip through France for Dean and editorial deadlines for Phil, can only mean that it’s time for a pre-recorded “theme” show. Longtime listeners will remember Chillpak Hollywood Hour #13. The majority of listeners who have come to the show more recently and who have tried to catch up on all the past shows will know that Episode #13 was truly unlucky in that only the first six minutes or so of it still exist! So, after finishing a discussion about movie remakes, started last week and inspired by an email from a listener like you (yes, YOU!), your friends in podcasting finally make amends for that “missing” episode of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour, by spending most of this week’s show discussing the world of James Bond! Dean and Phil compare notes on their favorite 007 adventures, as well as comparing their tastes to those of the viewing public. Here’s hoping this special show all about Bond-age will leave you both shaken AND stirred!

Featured Video- Serenata Immortale

from X-Files News by tiffany_devol@xfilesnews.com (Tiffany Devol)

This week's featured video is a fantastic tribute to The X-Files and one that will set your heart pounding. The vidder has worked on 3 previous beta versions of this video and admits to being inspired by Lyle Goodale who many of you know for his amazing X-Files tributes at exeterstreet.

Narvinek is a new vidder to XFN and this video blew us away. We definitely see Lyle's inspiration in his work butNarvinek's style is also clearly unique.

If you've been away from The X-Files fandom for awhile or if you've gone a few months without watching the series, this video will make you run to your DVD cabinet and frantically post on Big Light begging for a third film.

It is truly breathtaking and given the loud voice of this fandom of late and the amazing fan videos these vidders are churning out, we know the fans are speaking and perhaps FOX is listening.
