Mike WhiteHOST
Yeah, for sure.
Mike WhiteHOST
Luckily, I was very fortunate to interview the director of that, and he was telling these great stories about how he was trying to get it picked up by Zoetrope, and he's in the Zoetrope offices, and Lucas keeps stopping by and talking about how he's having trouble cutting THX 1138, and Opal is just rattling off all of these instructions, and then he keeps hanging up the phone.
Mike WhiteHOST
He's just like, these fucking guys want me to direct this mob movie because I'm Italian.
Mike WhiteHOST
Fuck these guys.

IsaacHOST

Mike MatthewsHOST
And let's see, where is that big doomsday scenario? Okay, without the regional transit measure that they're calling RTM in the Bay Area, BART could be forced to scale their system back to what it looked like in 1976.
Mike MatthewsHOST
Oh yeah, when they were building the BART system, that's when George Lucas went down there and filmed THX with Robert Duvall because it looked all futuristic.
Mike MatthewsHOST

I was going to call myself that, but it was already taken.
Doug WhiteHOST
UAT-11473, THX-1138, is linked to China, and it's also linked to Volt Typhoon's silent train network.
Doug WhiteHOST
which is a covert access network.
Doug WhiteHOST
Now, this is the same network that was used to exploit a Cisco SD-WAN flaw, according to Lumen Black Lotus Lab.
HaitchHOST
But Merch was there.
HaitchHOST
He did the sound for THX 1138 with Lucas and then was with Coppola through a bunch of this stuff.
HaitchHOST
But he basically, he did the cut himself, did all the sound work and then would have calls with Coppola and just kind of keep working on it to get it set.
HaitchHOST
At the end of the day, the budget, $1.6 million, worldwide, $4.9 million.

The scholarship explicitly points out that this environmental oppression directly paved the way for modern dystopian cinema.

The authors directly compare Room's visual architecture to George Lucas' THX 1138.
