A Frame Apart

The podcast where, every episode, we compare two films, whether that comparison is obvious or not!

Contact (1997) dir. Robert Zemeckis

“You’re capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you’re not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.”

          watched in 2016:   CONTACT (1997) dir. Robert Zemeckis

          When I was about 8 years old, I was watching the sunset and I asked my dad: “What’s that bright star over there?”           And he said that it wasn’t really a star at all. It was actually a whole planet called Venus. He said, "You know why they called it Venus? Because they thought it was so beautiful and glowing. But what they didn’t know is that it’s filled with deadly gases and sulfuric acid rain.”           “Wow,” I thought, “This is it! I’m hooked.”            You know, there are four hundred billion stars out there just in our galaxy alone. If only one out of a million of those had planets, all right, and if just one out of a million of those had life and if just one out of a million of those had intelligent life there would be literally millions of civilizations out there.

“I wish that everyone, if only for one moment, could feel… that awe, and humility, and hope. But… that continues to be my wish.” [ Contact // 1997 ]

This week Bob and his big sis, Jackie, discussed some of their favourite flicks as kids. Namely, Empire Records. . . Part of that involved talking about the 90's myth of the record store as the ultimate bastion of cool, rivalled only by the video store, which was really its equal. We discussed what made Empire Records so astounding as this hyper-reality, this otherworldly place that never really existed, and now exists almost exclusively in an oral tradition. . . Warren, then, represents us all; the outsiders, the civilians. The people who looked in, noses pressed against cold glass, essentially creating the myth that these humans who got to work at the Empire Records were some of the coolest people on the planet. . . It's a shame, then, that his name isn't f@*king Warren. . .
