Mark and Ian talk about the Donner disaster (too harsh? probably) LadyHawke (pronounced “lady” “Hockey”). Though the film has its problems, it does look quite good in places. And that’s probably because they went to real places to shoot it. Thumbs down to green screen environments.

Any Which Way But Loose review
Taking a break from the “high brow” discussion about technology in film I thought I’d post one of the last Futile Podcasts. There is a few more after this but then things may change a bit so be weary or excited.
