Return to “Great Materials in the Movies”: Part II: Beyond Transparent Aluminum James J. Robinson
WHY A SEQUEL? A long time ago, in a reality far, far away, I wrote the article, “The Reel Thing: One Editor’s List of Great Material Moments in Movies,” for the March 2004 JOM. It was enjoyable to contemplate and write, and it generated more feedback than anything that I’ve ever written for JOM. I even get the occasional request to pen a sequel—what PLJKW,GRGL൵HUHQWO\":KDWGLG,PLVVWKH ¿UVWWLPH":KDWZRXOG,LQFOXGHVLQFHWKH RULJLQDOSUHPLHUHGLQ" Yes, I could write something that would answer those questions but is 16 years too ORQJDWLPHWRZDLWIRUDVHTXHO"3UREDEO\ QRW:HZDLWHG\HDUVIRUDVHTXHOWR Blade Runner to arrive in the form of Blade Runner 2049. That turned out pretty well according to fans and critics alike. So, let’s give a sequel to “The Reel Thing” a go, especially as I suspect that we could all use something pleasantly distracting right about now. During the pandemic, I anticipate that many of you have been scrolling through a lot of streaming service menus. I know that I have. Rather than scrolling, try using WKH³VHDUFK´IXQFWLRQWR¿QGVRPHRIWKH
