The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

[coaster]

If you are not in the biz? I've been into photography, video editing, and everything photoshop my entire adult life, and I see nothing. It's called pareidolia richard, not some trained eye..

[trostol]

politics...eh..if thats tonights steering i'm out

[TigerLily]

My eye is uneducated.    Geometry

If those two weren't here was thinking I would call in just to represent but already getting too sleepy to put together a coherent question

[SaucyRossy]

YAY ROSS..sticking up for us...of course he just said you were uneducated lol

bahah of course I am not, and he didn't say that, he said I am not used to looking at images of rocks in space. which is true, but I have a degree in film and photography....

[ShayP]

I hate when I burn out my magnatron. 

[coaster]

I just hate how he talks down to people who don't see what he sees. Some people don't live in a fantasy world.

HE TOTALLY DID!!! lol


cmon Dick stop pimping out this thing...

[SaucyRossy]

all that said, I have seen the geometry in some of the photos that many of you said you see nothing, especially the photos of pluto itself, not it's asteroid moon

[Zenman]

No Commie Sandra or Braapsfly. Looks like a tame night.

Not that you guys aren't stimulating or anything.    But you know what I mean.

It's an "edge" thing.

Sister Warrior Princess Sandra may still be miffed over the (non)open lines last time. She didn't get a birthday call-out either
Yup - Barfly is probably working.

Hey, did you guys see Dave Distler was in the room this morning ?

[trostol]

i think you are developing Stockholm Syndrome lol

[Rix Gins]

I have a degree in film and photography....

I'm impressed, Ross.  Proud of you.

[SaucyRossy]

You feel like he's talking down to you? I don't feel talked down to when we are discussing these things, trust me, I wouldn't roll with that haha

I think you guys are a bit sensitive and take it the wrong way. It's like me saying to him, which I did, that he knows nothing about filmmaking in regards to how you shoot a film like the Martian, he doesn't take that personally.

[TigerLily]

how did you survive the wrath of his hair 

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

It's an "edge" thing.

Yup, they do bring a certain charm to the room. 

[SaucyRossy]

Richard is super nice haha you guys would enjoy chatting with him

[coaster]

I'm sure I know far more than he does in image and film, so yes, it does seem like he is talking down to me. Maybe I am putting too much into what he says.

[trostol]

these are fantastic open lines

[ShayP]

I love the word "thrust."  Hoagie is stimulating me with his words.

[pate]

Resupply mission is in order.

Burritos and Beam...

MISSION FIRST! SAFETY ALWAYS!

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Archologies

Drink   

[Catsmile]

I see geometry everywhere I look, that doesn't mean it was created by aliens.
I see geometry looking at galaxies... I'm not sayin' it was aliens ... but aliens.   

[ShayP]

these are fantastic open lines

LOL!

[Étouffée]

...but there's "a moonlet named Nix". I like that.
We should petition for a moonlet named "Braaps". 

[coaster]

Remember, this is a guy who thought there were glass domes on the moon because of scratches and beard hairs on his scanner.

[trostol]

so we have crazy RCH...Dick Cavett RCH and now Jerry Lewis telethon mode RCH

[ShayP]

Richard is super nice haha you guys would enjoy chatting with him

I believe so.  His emails are friendly enough.  I want to have breakfast with him at some out of the way desert diner.  One can dream. 

[SaucyRossy]

I'm sure I know far more than he does in image and film, so yes, it does seem like he is talking down to me. Maybe I am putting too much into what he says.

he knows a lot more about photography then he ever says on air, he knows more than a few professors that taught me, that's for sure. It's hard to judge who knows more about what, the jist of what he was saying is that I don't have 30 years of experience staring at pictures of other planets geologic features, and I don't. So, yeah I don't know why anyone would take something like that as being talked down to or personal
