The whole premise of one guy to the moon with a robot?! *C'mon, what
happened to the buddy system? *They don't even want people to hike
alone on maintained trails in the Grand Canyon. So how does a lone guy
get sent to the moon on a three year contract?

* * * * Well, how *else* are they going to get commentary on the worst
movies ever made? *

Okay, okay, good point...

Why, by going to the Badmovies.org website of course!:http://www.badmovies.org/
It must be pure hell to be Mothra and have to lay an egg that large:http://www.badmovies.org/movies/rebi...rthmothra1.jpg

I always thought that was a watermelon.

Sort of the Kiwi bird of the Japanese monster world.
Meanwhile, back about "Moon"... which seems more likely? One guy stuck
in a helium 3 mining outpost on the far side of the Moon, or one guy
getting sucked down the inside of a giant monolith in Jupiter orbit, and
then... oh man, it is such a trip! You just _have_ to drop acid before
you see it! :-)

At least Dave Bowman started with a partner before HAL killed him
(Frank Poole).

Yes, and also when listening to the "Dark Side of the Moon" album by
'Pink Floyd' while watching "Wizard of Oz".

World-class cost structure?

Actually, when you think about it, using the absolute minimal crew at
the station makes a lot of sense over that period of time due to all the
food and water you can avoid having to send to the Moon.
By weight, the total amount of helium 3 being sent back to Earth won't
be that much, so keeping cargo costs and weight to the Moon down lets
you use fairly small spacecraft for resupplying the base and returning
product.

You mean he doesn't grow at least some of his food in the film?
Wouldn't a lunar greenhouse garden make sense?

Haven't seen it yet, so don't know.

Don't forget the black light, incense and munchies~

May see it anyway. Just because I like Sam Rockwell. The same reason I
went to see "STAR TREK". I am a big Simon Pegg fan, and I was surprised
that I actually liked the movie itself. The real problem I had with the
movie was they did not try to recreate the Enterprise's engine room to
something resembling the original series. The engine room looked like a
brewery.

Back to Sam Rockwell. Here is a couple of SciFi clips of him.
