Strange Conversations: Part One Hundred and Forty-Two

Posted 27 May 2009 in by Catriona

ME: In what Defamer calls [paraphrased, because I’m forgetful] Defiling Your Childhood’s Grave Part 27 . . .
NICK: Yes?
ME: They’re remaking Flight of the Navigator.
NICK: Hmm. Well, I’m torn on that. One the one hand, it was just a little ahead of its time, visually. But on the other hand, no one knows how to make children’s movies these days.
ME: It’s the same exec. producer. And the writer was a writer-producer for Arrested Development.
NICK: Really? Which one?
ME: I want to say Jon Osterman, but I don’t think that’s right.
NICK: No. Because that’s Doctor Manhattan.
ME: Oh. I don’t think it’s being written by Doctor Manhattan, no.

Although, imagine what a Flight of the Navigator movie would be like if he had written it.

Nope, I don’t have a clue.

Well the spaceship would be blue and everyone would be naked and it would be set on Mars

Partly set on Mars, at least.

And it wouldn’t have a linear narrative.
