Take A Ride On This Close Encounters of the Third Kind Roller Coaster

Are You Ready To Experience A Close Encounter?

I love Close Encounters of the Third Kind. In a recent post where I revealed my top ten Steven Spielberg movies, the UFO movie came second and could have easily been first. Another thing I love is gaming, especially games where you get to build in a sandbox environment. Planet Coaster from the clever people at Frontier is one of them. In the game you get to create, manage and tinker with your very own theme park and if you're clever enough you can build pretty much anything including mighty roller coasters where you can actually ride your very own creations.

That is exactly what Tommy LaFleur has done. Tommy has his own YouTube channel where he shows off his rather impressive creations in Planet Coaster. He's obviously a Steven Spielberg fan as you will find roller coasters based on Indiana Jones and E.T. as well as other fantastic rides.

I've played Planet Coaster and I can tell you that these kind of rides must have taken many hours to have put something like this together. The meticulous attention to detail such as events being triggered as you ride past is quite simply incredible. In the video below you get to take a ride from the point of view of someone on the ride. You will get to see iconic scenes from the movie such as the police car chase and of course the conversation at the end. You also get to ride on board the mother-ship.

As a bonus if you play the game then you can actually get the ride from the Steam Workshop. A link to the ride is in the YouTube description.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut...
