At 00:01:33,760, Character said: When I think of science fiction,
I think of stories in any medium

2
At 00:01:38,848, Character said: that tell us what we could be

3
At 00:01:42,435, Character said: and warn us about where we're going.

4
At 00:01:47,690, Character said: Every piece
of science fiction

5
At 00:01:49,234, Character said: that I enjoy works as pure entertainment,

6
At 00:01:53,655, Character said: and it also works as a social commentary,

7
At 00:01:57,033, Character said: philosophy or inspirational ideas.

8
At 00:02:02,038, Character said: It was always a genre that carried with it

9
At 00:02:05,083, Character said: a sense of taking the
temperature of its own times.

10
At 00:02:09,838, Character said: It's a ripe genre,
it's full of interesting

11
At 00:02:12,841, Character said: twists and offshoots.

12
At 00:02:16,286, Character said: I can get you diseases.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?

13
At 00:02:20,306, Character said: There are so many sub-genres
that are available to us

14
At 00:02:24,102, Character said: and I think really give
this kind of rich landscape.

15
At 00:02:27,981, Character said: Science fiction storytelling
exists from the beginning

16
At 00:02:34,737, Character said: of film-making,
and persists through

17
At 00:02:37,365, Character said: two centuries.

18
At 00:02:40,535, Character said: Images

19
At 00:02:41,578, Character said: that we see in cinema
today are built on images from movies

20
At 00:02:45,165, Character said: like 2001, A Space Odyssey,
Metropolis and Things to Come.

21
At 00:02:50,461, Character said: In the '50s,

22
At 00:02:51,880, Character said: sci fi was an extension of science,
and science was all about the atom,

23
At 00:02:55,675, Character said: and the atom was all about,
they're going to blow us up

24
At 00:02:58,428, Character said: or we're going to have a wonderful future
because of our friend the atom.

25
At 00:03:05,018, Character said: The people doing these
science fiction films in the '80s,

26
At 00:03:07,145, Character said: they cut their teeth on '50s sci fi,

27
At 00:03:11,024, Character said: but what they did is they said,
we love sci fi for what it represents.

28
At 00:03:14,694, Character said: The post atomic scare that stimulated
so many of these low budget Saturday

29
At 00:03:19,449, Character said: matinee type movies.

30
At 00:03:21,075, Character said: They really impacted us as children.

31
At 00:03:23,411, Character said: But in a different way than
films now in the '70s,

32
At 00:03:27,874, Character said: films tend to be more socially conscious,
more artistically presented.

33
At 00:03:32,879, Character said: But let's take a B movie

34
At 00:03:35,840, Character said: and just do it as though we're doing
an art film, without a happy ending.

35
At 00:03:43,640, Character said: The twist towards the dark, nihilistic sci fi,
I think, was largely a response against

36
At 00:03:48,311, Character said: technology, government, war,
especially in the Vietnam era.

37
At 00:03:53,316, Character said: A lot of those dystopian films

38
At 00:03:55,777, Character said: were warning about global warming

39
At 00:03:59,614, Character said: and the arms race.

40
At 00:04:01,848, Character said: You maniacs!
You blew it up!

41
At 00:04:07,038, Character said: Things that I think made
people feel very small

42
At 00:04:09,874, Character said: and very out of control.
And that seems to really be

43
At 00:04:13,002, Character said: what science fiction is about
until Star Wars.

44
At 00:04:20,718, Character said: The whole tone of science fiction
and films really changes

45
At 00:04:24,681, Character said: with Lucas and Spielberg
in the '70s and '80s,

46
At 00:04:27,517, Character said: and it starts showing us the
positive possibilities in our world

47
At 00:04:32,355, Character said: as opposed to constantly warning us
about all the ways we're messing up.

48
At 00:04:38,569, Character said: Spielberg said,
"Can't we go back to what

49
At 00:04:40,530, Character said: "I grew up with, which is the beauty
of sci fi and imagination?

50
At 00:04:43,700, Character said: "Let's not dwell on the corrupting
influence of technology."

51
At 00:04:53,751, Character said: For the next decade
or so across the '80s,

52
At 00:04:56,010, Character said: that amalgamation of science, fiction,

53
At 00:04:59,757, Character said: and fantasy,
seemed to be the driving force.

54
At 00:05:04,387, Character said: Science fiction became direct,

55
At 00:05:07,015, Character said: straightforward, provocative, clear.

56
At 00:05:11,519, Character said: Any idea that anybody had
if you set it on another planet or

57
At 00:05:16,107, Character said: set it in the future, set it in dystopia,
you could get the money to do it.

58
At 00:05:21,696, Character said: Now, sci fi was viable box office.

59
At 00:05:24,615, Character said: And now the studios are
throwing money at the genre

60
At 00:05:29,037, Character said: and you're getting the best filmmakers
and the best actors,

61
At 00:05:32,123, Character said: and they have the funds
to take you to other places.

62
At 00:05:35,084, Character said: Sci fi truly came of age and exploded

63
At 00:05:38,463, Character said: in the '80s.

64
At 00:05:57,774, Character said: We are creating machines
that mimic human behavior.

65
At 00:06:02,445, Character said: The human body, human intelligence.

66
At 00:06:06,574, Character said: In Saturn 3, you see
the bio-mimicry of Hector,

67
At 00:06:10,078, Character said: the machine taking on its human
creator's ideas and psychopathy.

68
At 00:06:21,297, Character said: Certainly, the way Saturn 3 was sold,
leaned heavily on Alien, robots, science.

69
At 00:06:26,010, Character said: All that kind of stuff, but it leaned
even more heavily on Farrah Fawcett

70
At 00:06:29,639, Character said: and that absolutely stunning smile of hers,
in the fact that all of us

71
At 00:06:32,683, Character said: were enamored of Farrah
from Charlie's Angels.

72
At 00:06:36,187, Character said: I had that poster,
everybody had that poster.

73
At 00:06:38,189, Character said: And the idea that Farrah Fawcett
might be wearing something s***y or

74
At 00:06:41,859, Character said: nothing at all, definitely g***t my
young self out to see Saturn 3.

75
At 00:06:45,738, Character said: The movie you g***t, however,
was a completely different movie.

76
At 00:06:48,390, Character said: You're quite an event in our lives.

77
At 00:06:50,414, Character said: Well, I guess you don't
get many drop-ins on Saturn 3.

78
At 00:06:53,438, Character said: Hardly ever,
especially not from earth.

79
At 00:06:55,623, Character said: We are on a space station that is slick,

80
At 00:06:57,792, Character said: and designed and shiny and colorful,
and all the edges are smoothed out.

81
At 00:07:02,130, Character said: All of the ideas
that might have been initiated

82
At 00:07:04,841, Character said: by Alien are gone by the time you get
to the finished product of Saturn 3.

83
At 00:07:08,761, Character said: We get to see
Kirk Douglas n***d a lot,

84
At 00:07:12,682, Character said: but not Farrah Fawcett.

85
At 00:07:16,769, Character said: That was kind of
forward thinking.

86
At 00:07:18,854, Character said: Doesn't it disgust you
to be used by him?

87
At 00:07:20,878, Character said: To be touched by an old man?
Can't you feel the decay?

88
At 00:07:24,068, Character said: The notion that he wanted
to express his virility,

89
At 00:07:26,946, Character said: that he's still a leading man,
that he was still an action star.

90
At 00:07:31,159, Character said: Kirk Douglas was very particular about that.
About that in terms

91
At 00:07:33,661, Character said: of the notion of men,
of male movie stars and actors

92
At 00:07:36,914, Character said: and the way that they
should come off in film.

93
At 00:07:39,900, Character said: Abort!

94
At 00:07:43,516, Character said: Glad you didn't ask
him to shake hands.

95
At 00:07:46,174, Character said: It's a complicated film, you g***t

96
At 00:07:47,592, Character said: you g***t Stanley Donen,
the Singin' in the Rain director, directing

97
At 00:07:50,761, Character said: this sort of science fiction opera
with this crazy, oversexed robot.

98
At 00:07:54,680, Character said: No! No! No!

99
At 00:07:58,519, Character said: He's probably not the
right director for that.

100
At 00:08:01,898, Character said: The production designer, John Barry,
he was probably the correct person.

101
At 00:08:05,526, Character said: The scenario was based on his stories.

102
At 00:08:07,487, Character said: But Kirk didn't like John and so g***t him
fired and had Stanley Donen hired.

103
At 00:08:12,074, Character said: So you have Kirk Douglas, who doesn't
like John Barry. He gets rid of him.

104
At 00:08:15,495, Character said: And then you have Stanley Donen,
who doesn't like Harvey Keitel's voice.

105
At 00:08:18,080, Character said: Now we have this weird

106
At 00:08:19,123, Character said: sort of quasi British voice
coming out of Harvey Keitel's face.

107
At 00:08:23,401, Character said: Why won't you talk?

108
At 00:08:27,025, Character said: Why not? What have
I done wrong?

109
At 00:08:29,884, Character said: All of these decisions just sort of led

110
At 00:08:32,220, Character said: to something of a mess of a movie,
except for Farrah Fawcett.

111
At 00:08:37,308, Character said: Kudos to
Farrah Fawcett

112
At 00:08:38,434, Character said: for dealing with all those boys
and what was going on there.

113
At 00:08:40,895, Character said: It just didn't seem to connect

114
At 00:08:42,688, Character said: with the bigger universe
in the way that the Star Wars films had....
