Scifi Buddha

A starwarzy trek through the Dharma one 10 second mindfuling breath per episode.

SFB#037 Microfiche 09/30/2022

SFB#037 Microfiche Ok, we are back, though this was recorded seemingly aeons ago. 6:00-6:10, there is some more tasty sounds and still a bit of practical effects mystery. How did our poor cabana man get thrown, exactly? No pause unless you had a version on 8mm. The snore and organ are SFB special effects, though Frederick insists there is a snore embedded in the chocking scene. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/24547272

SFB#036 ChickenCrispyAdam 07/22/2022

SFB#036 ChickenCrispyAdam Wow, starts with an effect of surprising crispness. We are at 5:50 - 6:00. Vader has his left hand on two sorts of apples! I guess the poor elevated one is an Adam of another origin. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/23832713

SFB#035 H is for Behoove 06/16/2022

SFB#035 H is for Behoove Obi Wan... wow, now that was a sidetrack, but a very edifying one if not silly. 5:40-5:50, we get there but we neglected to talk about the weirdness that was the norm of '77 when copies were rare, I mean, if they made copies of the plans the whole Vader thing about where are the plans inquisition would be mute. More of a choke than a strangle, but still a pretty effective special effect by way of editing. Accents and the alphabet. I have dropped and relocated the Dhammapada inclusions, tune into my other podcast Now, Dhammapada for a whole lot of serious looking at the Dhammapada. Here is a link: /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/23449190

SFB#034 Squinchy That 04/15/2022

SFB#034 Squinchy That No dialogue in this 10 sec of Star Wars 77, 5:30-5:40. Interesting marching pan! Special choke effect. Birds! It's Spring and we are getting close to a Two Year birthday for SciFi Buddha, and still pandemic people! Orville popcorn series, really leaning into it. March! No it's April, the silliest of months. Now, heartmind precedes all experience. Heartmind leads all experience. All experience is heartmind molded. If witha distrubed heartmind we speak or act, discontent follows like the back wheels follow the front wheels of an earth bound vehicle. Now, Dhammapada Ch.1,#1 ! /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/22804421

SFB#033 DiscoSpiceBuns 03/14/2022

SFB#033 DiscoSpiceBuns Audible worrier. Lowriding warrior. Buns to spin the mirrorball. A lot in this 10seconds of 5:20-5:30. Intrigue. Red light energy. Resolute The untrained of little wit are their own worst enemy as they stumble about unskillfully, the fruits of their action bitter. Dhammapada Ch.5, 66 /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/22448915

SFB#032 LowRiderD2 01/31/2022

SFB#032 LowRiderD2 A very fast paced ten seconds, 5:10-5:20, because of the five edits! R2 rolling for about 3seconds. Conditional character, Boba Fett, episode uno discussed. Nice. Worm throat. Was he, is he, really a Mandalorian? Inhale...Exhale.... Hey, not all Sandpeople are the same... Avatar? Shreks. Unnamed sandbeast. Now, better than a thousand irrelavant words is one useful word, bringing peace of mind. Dhammapada Ch 8, #100 /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/21969587

SFB#031 HALowed GetBack Buns 12/07/2021

SFB#031 HALowed GetBack Buns 5:00 - 5:10 of Star Wars '77. This ten has the most concise C3PO robot dance. HAL! presiding over all! White robed buns. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/21409964

SFB#030 Handsome R2 You 11/01/2021

SFB#030 Handsome R2 You 4:50-5:00. Wow, Shatner is a mindful astronaut and she had a nice hand. Colors and spaceships and an introductory insertion. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/21015773

SFB#029 Busty Breath 09/30/2021

SFB#029 Busty Breath 4:40 - 4:50 seconds. Breath becomes the object of great focus. Calm like a Jedi. Vader Bust in detail. Pretty creepy sculpture. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/20666066

SFB#028 Akimbo Gong! 08/29/2021

SFB#028 Akimbo Gong! 4:30 - 4:40. The big intro. Splashy and less flashy than perhaps expected. Definitely creepy. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/20300801

SFB#027 aVersion 07/28/2021

SFB#027 aVersion We are at 4:20-4:30, but boy it seems like we already covered this trot! Hmmm, Disney or moi? Energy reflex, strangely energizing. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/19959092

SFB#026 Eno Noise Opera 06/28/2021

SFB#026 Eno Noise Opera More smoke and lasers and noise. Brian Eno was in the air. How many camera's and what did that rig go for at auction? God Save the Rebellion. We are at 4:10- 4:20". Smoke and mirrors? Your breath awareness lets you peer through, regardless of the conditions. Bubble Yum! The Chosen One. Glam bam thanks you R2. The seventies editing rate was slower than today... /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/19636610

SFB#025 Lugubrious Headdress 05/04/2021

SFB#025 Lugubrious Headdress We are at 4:00 to 4:10". Smoke is back in the editing of vantage points. Mostly troopers and a whole lot of anticipation. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/18975089

SFB#024 Sizzlin Smoke Stew 04/13/2021

SFB#024 Sizzlin Smoke Stew Smoke monster of a sort, tripping stormtroopers through the 10sec of 3:50 - 4:00. Quite a fun sizzling stew... /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/18700802

SFB#023 Shhvarski Thunder Sparkles 03/24/2021

SFB#023 Shhvarski Thunder Sparkles So slow, we are 10esconds at a time 3:40-3:50. Sally Spahklahs. Grogu is nonlinear. Explosions and fizzle. Doors opening, blasting through. Stormtroopers plastic entrance. Falling Down. Are they robots? Move like Jaggah. Dark forces dressing in white. Pew! Pews! Too. Breath awareness for a few seconds, letting go of the static. Humanoids. Like fine dust tossed against the wind unskillful acion blows back upon the foolish who offend the innocent. Dhammapada Ch9 Willfully Unskillful #125 (not #124!) /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/18441494

SFB#022 Sparks and Replace 03/07/2021

SFB#022 Sparks and Replace Star Wars seconds 3:30 - 3:40. TieIn Fighters. Feed and follow endlessly. Moogalicous. Product replacement. Favorite Jingle. Sparks. Earworm Deodorant /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/18220361

SFB#021 Ruddy Moon Bear 02/08/2021

SFB#021 Ruddy Moon Bear No dialog in these 10sec: 3:20-3:30. Mostly the Princess's dudes, waiting... agape. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/17859773

SFB#020 Alien Relic Sale 01/31/2021

SFB#020 Alien Relic Sale But don't get all attached. Relax, things will munge. Lots of sizzle and fry and cake. Cake is almost as grand as pie. Dinosaurs. Chickens. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/17758907

SFB#019 aLive 01/01/2021

SFB#019 aLive Recorded Live to Bits. Oy. Oh, man in good hands. Did you hear that again? Quite the dent on R2. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/17387639

SFB#018 Be Destroyed 12/09/2020

SFB#018 Be Destroyed C3PO offers a assessment, a prognostication that is perhaps glamorous in its doom. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/17130260

SFB#017 Did You Hear That 11/30/2020

SFB#017 Did You Hear That Finally some dialogue. Well, sort of. AI that talks in the past but it's like the future this Star Warzy 77 thing. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/17008937

SFB#016 Hey Humanoids 11/15/2020

SFB#016 Hey Humanoids Realism and Star Wars. Finally a space ship interior (the Tantive IV Runner) and its run by droids! Awwwe no, at the end of 10sec there are the pasty humans, the resistance, clearly under equipped. Devo! /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/16814687

SFB#015 Trying Times 11/08/2020

SFB#015 Trying Times Spaceships brushing our face. And Han can really point! /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/16725317

SFB#014 OoeyGooeyHowling 10/31/2020

SFB#014 OoeyGooeyHowling Finally some real laser cannons, space harmonica and howling Doppler for very close to the time the Spaceballs ship extends across film-time. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/16628690

SFB#013 Blurt 10/25/2020

SFB#013 Blurt Finally a space ship and sound design reborn! And look at Harrison's hair toss! /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/16536068

SFB#012 Cloaca Moon 10/18/2020

SFB#012 Cloaca Moon Ok now we start to see some heavenly bodies. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/16445021

SFB#011 Purple Space Sandwich 10/11/2020

SFB#010 Order of Sorcerers 10/04/2020

SFB#009 SeaMent DotDot DotDot 09/28/2020

SFB#009 SeaMent DotDot DotDot Custodian of the stolen plans. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/16189352

SFB#008 False Dichotomy Trek 09/20/2020

SFB#008 False Dichotomy Trek Still we are in the crawl/scrawl/wall of surreal words. The humans' heartmind penchant for false choices. /episode/index/show/scifibuddha/id/16081181
