After a great 10-week run of Season 5 of Game of Thrones, we here at Fond Object are very pleased to keep the Sunday night HBshOws running with the season premiere of the fantastic TRUE DETECTIVE! Last season was completely mesmerizing, so what do they have in store for us in season two? Come on down to Fond Object and find out!
After True Detective, we will switch gears somewhat and screen Harry Nilsson's THE POINT! The Point! is a fable by American songwriter and musician Harry Nilsson about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point.
Harry Nilsson said of his inspiration for The Point, "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, "Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it."
The film version of The Point! first aired February 2, 1971, on the ABC television network as an ABC Movie of the Week. The film was directed by Fred Wolf and produced by Murakami-Wolf Films in association with Nilsson House Music. In this version, there is a framing device of a father telling his son the fable as a bedtime story. In its initial airing, the voice of the father was provided by Dustin Hoffman, but for contractual reasons later airings of the film could not use Hoffman's voice and it had to be re-recorded. This version is narrated by Beatles drummer, Ringo Starr.
