He occasionally drops a little science on various subjects. It may not sound like much, but if you’ll look very carefully you’ll see visiting the page is well worth the effort. No, I’m not gonna tell you why. [Go look](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU-l9dTKVpc&feature=watch_response_rev). ---

Am I supposed to be looking very carefully, or listening very caarefully? I’ve watched it one and a half times, and while I think your BIL does a fine review, I’m not seeing anything particularly remarkable. ---

Well that was… very neat and very underwhelming at the same time. Rambling incoherently, yet taking a 10 second pause to consider between every… single… … word… Is the man senile or something? I had no idea what he was trying to say. ---

I didn’t get any huge pauses in his monologue. He speaks deliberately, but he’s hardly rambling or off point. ---

> [@astro](#): > > Seriously? I didn’t get any huge pauses in his monologue. He speaks deliberately, but he’s hardly rambling or off point. Perhaps the very first part is a tad slow-starting, but I agree, the rest is deliberately worded, and seems like it was spoken off the cuff rather than scripted. He’s obviously moved both by the review and the movie-making experience, and pleased to be able to speak directly to others over the Internet. ---

OK so the big thing is that Decker/Roy or whoever, some bigwig in the film, was supposed to have wrote in the comments, but I don’t see it. I’ve only seen this movie once and I think I wasn’t paying enough attention to really grasp it’s masterpiecefulness. ---

I’ve only seen this movie once and I think I wasn’t paying enough attention to really grasp it’s masterpiecefulness. Not the typed comments. Check the single video response. That is Rutger Hauer, who played Roy, responding directly via webcam, to the comments in the video review. He leaves a rather touching and lengthy commentary, talking about a few points brought up in the video review, and some side notes on how wonderful being able to communicate over the Internet is. ---
