Positively astounding what they did for that tiny bit of screen time.

Positively astounding what they did for that tiny bit of screen time.
Not really feeling the drama . . .
To recreate what Buster Keaton did in The Navigator and Fred Astaire did when dancing on the ceiling, and Kubrick did in 2001,
“the set designer had to imagine a way to have seven (!) steel rings rotate (!) via seven 25-hp motors, all sychronized by an incredible computer program (!!!) . . . ” [Wow! Some computer program!]
” . . . and the camera had to be free of the rotation, or in other scenes even fixed to the floor with steel bolts (!) . . . ” [Wow! Steel bolts!]
” . . . and the actors had to overcome the feeling of the floor moving under them, (’cause, you know, they’re in a centifuge they had not noticed), walk on the walls, then on the ceiling, and come up with the brilliant and creative mnemonic “This is the floor, now this is the floor . . . (!) . . . while the director got motion sickness looking at the footage . . . (!)”
Give me a freaking break.
(Not directed at Harvey, but directed at the clip’s producers.)
It’s always the more remarkable that the studio would put up that kind of money for a completely nonpolitical original idea
