Scifi Buddha

SFB#037 Microfiche

September 30, 2022 18:26 - 16 minutes - 38.1 MB

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.

SFB#036 ChickenCrispyAdam

July 22, 2022 22:55 - 14 minutes - 33.5 MB

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.

SFB#035 H is for Behoove

June 16, 2022 19:33 - 29 minutes - 68 MB

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, tun...

SFB#034 Squinchy That

April 15, 2022 14:11 - 9 minutes - 21.8 MB

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...

SFB#033 DiscoSpiceBuns

March 14, 2022 23:58 - 12 minutes - 29.3 MB

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

SFB#032 LowRiderD2

January 31, 2022 21:32 - 10 minutes - 13.7 MB

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

SFB#031 HALowed GetBack Buns

December 07, 2021 20:45 - 13 minutes - 19 MB

5:00 - 5:10 of Star Wars '77. This ten has the most concise C3PO robot dance. HAL! presiding over all! White robed buns. 2001 a Space Ode-it-y. Amazing very human body standing from Ms. Fischer. Dave. Dave, what are you doing princess. "So you need to make it clear that you have been seen..." And now you are a hologram. Smoke, tea, more UK noir. Get Back=1969. 2001 =1968. This is perhaps the most complete 10sec story yet! Get Back! .63"=16mm. Laibach! Wicked Tart. The mindfuling excerpt t...

SFB#030 Handsome R2 You

November 01, 2021 22:59 - 22 minutes - 31.1 MB

4:50-5:00. Wow, Shatner is a mindful astronaut and Wow, Shatner is an astronaut and she had a nice hand. Colors and spaceships and an introductory insertion.! Colors and spaceships and a revealing insertion. Foundation, the best SciFi series! But the lack of humor is a concern. Doomed. Epic. Merry Halloween. When two holidays collide. Start with getting comfy with ten seconds but HA! Delight in extending it for minutes, maybe hundreds of starfish years... All things are non-self— when one...

SFB#029 Busty Breath

September 30, 2021 21:53 - 8 minutes - 19.9 MB

4:40 - 4:50 seconds. Breath becomes the object of great focus. Calm like a Jedi. Vader Bust in detail. Pretty creepy sculpture. Details. Left plane. German, samurai, honey bee drones! The Big Picture, WWII footage explained, originally ran in the fifties and sixties but was in syndicated UHF loops during 1977. Straight white and black plastic. Power guns. Fingers! Calm is heartland, calm is speech a nd calm is action, truly knowing, free and tranquil with wisdom. Dhammapada Ch.7 Sec. 96

SFB#028 Akimbo Gong!

August 29, 2021 23:13 - 12 minutes - 28.6 MB

4:30 - 4:40. The big intro. Splashy and less flashy than perhaps expected. Definitely creepy and do we get the breath in the first 10sec of the Dark one? And Frederick echo locates amazement. Paul continues his Starwarzy scuba driving. Akimbo. CaperE. What is that in that clown's holster? Happy Halloween George, what are you supposed to be? A insanely wealthy hobo? Should on be skillful in action, repeat the action. Accumulation of skillful action is blissful. Ch9 Willfully Unskillful Sec...

SFB#027 aVersion

July 28, 2021 16:34 - 14 minutes - 26.7 MB

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. Drama experienced for real verse today's high def delivery and consumption. Humans! Moving in the company of fools we suffer. Association with fools is painful, like partnering with an enemy. Association with the wise is a happy experience like meeting good kinfolk. Dhammapada Ch. Happiness, #207

SFB#026 Eno Noise Opera

June 28, 2021 22:01 - 21 minutes - 49.7 MB

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...

SFB#025 Lugubrious Headdress

May 04, 2021 20:44 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

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. Fictional people die. Do they live on though? Sounds. Violence in Star Wars. Blood? Cape. Eeyore. Breath Awareness of Vader. Samurai. THX1138. Waiting for Vader and wondering: In his first ten seconds does the breathing show up? Ponderous. All are at some level adverse to violence, life is intrinsic to all beings. Putting ourselves in the place of others we avoid harmin...

SFB#024 Sizzlin Smoke Stew

April 13, 2021 00:42 - 10 minutes - 9.4 MB

Smoke monster of a sort, tripping stormtroopers through the 10sec of 3:50 - 4:00. Quite a fun sizzling stew, considering all the grocery delivery pickup randomness. A lot of casualties is the general feeling, but in reality there are just 1, 2, 3 humanoids on the floor about now. Still quite the comicbook loss and so much blaster animation. Obscuration and barking cleared by breath awareness, going faster miles an hour. Roadrunner. Now, the fever of desire exists not for one who has compl...

SFB#023 Shhvarski Thunder Sparkles

March 24, 2021 16:48 - 8 minutes - 7.78 MB

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 (no...

SFB#022 Sparks and Replace

March 07, 2021 17:34 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MB

Star Wars seconds 3:30 - 3:40. TieIn Fighters. Feed and follow endlessly. Moogalicous. Product replacement. Favorite Jingle. Sparks. Earworm Deodorant. Simple but profound, here on Earth. Babe get hip to the jive. Stops the Worming. Sparklers. Beard Lacquer. Porg Jerky. Tough cookies, old technology. Kaaaaaahhhhhn (sp). Low brain. Like a colorful flower without fragrance, fruitless are the fair words of one who does not practice their meaning. Dhammapada Ch. Flowers, #51

SFB#021 Ruddy Moon Bear

February 08, 2021 04:11 - 16 minutes - 14.8 MB

No dialog in these 10sec: 3:20-3:30. Mostly the Princess's dudes, waiting... agape. Nerds. Geeks. Fans. Care Bears, Smurfs, Cabbage Patch adoptees. Delight in Mindfuling! Watch well your thoughts. Draw yourself out of this quagmire of ignorance just as an elephant extricates itself from the muddy hole. Dhammapada Ch 23 The Elephant V.327

SFB#020 Alien Relic Sale

January 31, 2021 20:04 - 10 minutes - 9.6 MB

"What's that?" Happy 2021. Great. Okay, doing our best to list the 10seconds with each episode: Do the math its not hard: #020= 20. 20*10=200. 200/6=33.3333, which will only confuse... OkOk, the way to figure out the seconds we are looking at, pretty much is: take the base ten version of the episode number, multiply it by 10 which gives you the "up to" or last second. Subtract 10 and you get the beginning second. Convert the seconds to minutes as the Disney counter does this...So this epis...

SFB#019 aLive

January 01, 2021 00:07 - 10 minutes - 9.32 MB

Recorded Live to Bits. Oy. Oh, man in good hands. SPOILER ALERT. But really you probably already heard. Quite the dent on R2. "What's That?" Happy New Year, 2021 can't get here any faster because that would be unnatural... Ya don't remove Hate with Hate. Only Love fixes that. From the Dhammapada, very off the cuff, and paraphrased but very famous this quote is. Live is messy.

SFB#018 Be Destroyed

December 09, 2020 23:54 - 7 minutes - 6.64 MB

C3PO offers a assessment, a prognostication that is perhaps glamorous in its doom. Doomed is the translation for the persnickety one. It easier to say taupe than it is to spell it. And did you know he played guitar? Space Christmas! Where's U3PO at? Curved corridors. Enter through the exit. Since ancient times there are those who are criticized for speaking too much, and for those who speak too little and for those who don't speaking at all. There is no one in this world free of criticism...

SFB#017 Did You Hear That

November 30, 2020 23:59 - 16 minutes - 14.7 MB

Finally some dialogue. Well, sort of. AI that talks in the past but it's like the future this Star Warzy 77 thing. This could be the last mashin of Empire as the density of the 10 seconds is growing... So much Star Wars 77, so little time. Did you hear that? An Arp 2600. R2D2600. Stan and Olly. Forbidden— no its The Hidden Fortress! Dedraggled peasants are C3PO and R2... If for company you find a wise and prudent friend who leads a skillful life you should overcome all impediments and keep...

SFB#016 Hey Humanoids

November 15, 2020 16:12 - 10 minutes - 9.9 MB

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! Water drinking seconds by Moxie. Tranquility. Michigan Mitten. Smitten. Deep in the mitten. Oh, Switch off! Roseanne Barr. Leia. Laya. Chewy can kiss good. Princess tomato. This is a Captain Zafu from Zabuton Docuthing. The world does not know that we must must all come to an end here; bu...

SFB#015 Trying Times

November 08, 2020 17:34 - 10 minutes - 10 MB

We are at 2:20 to 2:30. Spaceships brushing our face. And Han can really point! And Mandolorian returns to THE cantina and a character from the very dark background is up front and so delightfully goofy. These are trying times, earthquakes and all. And so, weeds are the bane of cultivated fields, unchecked desire a bane of humankind. What is obviously apparent to those free of hatred ends up yielding abundant fruit. Ch 24, Craving, #359

SFB#014 OoeyGooeyHowling

October 31, 2020 18:34 - 7 minutes - 6.78 MB

Finally some real laser cannons, space harmonica and howling Doppler for very close to the time the Spaceballs ship extends across film-time. Beware the false ending and the really long beginnings. Universal translator cuts across Universes and through Porg Down. "Well there's a price on my head." Brief is the pleasure of the fearful actor and the consequences can be large and heavy. Dhammapada Ch. 22 Hellish, #310

SFB#013 Blurt

October 25, 2020 16:34 - 7 minutes - 7.04 MB

Finally a space ship and sound design reborn! And look at Harrison's hair toss! The Sounds of Star Wars by Rinzler but its a Lucas Film thing before Disney. A super rich, and heavy, multimedia coffee table book that's worth tracking down on the secondary. Hear this: unskillful traits are difficult to control. Let not greed and unskillful action compound pain to suffering. Dhammapada #246, Corruption

SFB#012 Cloaca Moon

October 18, 2020 15:22 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MB

Ok now we start to see some heavenly bodies. We have completed two minutes with this episode of the 10seconds at a time Star Warzy 77 project that is SciFi Buddha. E-clipse. And a hole lot more... Check rising anger as a driver corrects a runaway vehicle— a true driver, others asleep at the wheel. Dhammapada Ch. 17 Sec.222

SFB#011 Purple Space Sandwich

October 11, 2020 16:48 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MB

It just gets mysterious. The math tells us. Purple Rain. Johnny Williams— Brilliant! Just the faintest smudge of the scroll left, away up top. Radioactive sandwich glass factory tour. Beech. The Star Wars 77 and Empire crossover...mason dot. Unskillfully done is the action which one regrets later, the fruit reaped awash in tears. Well done is that which one does not regret, the fruit reaped with delight and happiness. Dhammapada Ch. 5 The Unschooled section 67 & 68 Convert the code...

SFB#010 Order of Sorcerers

October 04, 2020 16:34 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MB

The scroll recedes. Space the soundtrack to see special effects. Howard. Howard. Mandalorian season two preview is perhaps the best Starwarzy promo ever. Mirth and knowing. Heavy Weight. Though all one's life the untrained associates with the trained, they no more comprehend the Truth than a spoon knows the flavor of a soup. Dhammapada Ch.5 #65

SFB#009 SeaMent DotDot DotDot

September 28, 2020 22:54 - 6 minutes - 5.76 MB

Custodian of the stolen plans. So the scroll finally floats off, well almost. Empire Strikes Back preRoll, a different kinda scroll... a bit lumpy. Well done is that which one does not regret, the fruit reaped with delight and happiness. Dhammapada Ch5, Sect 68

SFB#008 False Dichotomy Trek

September 20, 2020 17:23 - 16 minutes - 15.5 MB

Oh my, the earth bound spirit animal of SFB is... Still we are in the crawl/scrawl/wall of surreal words. The humans' heartmind penchant for false choices keeps on truckin'. As if reality wasn't a HUGE spectrum. We Trek wide and deep and long into the vastness of not ever waiting. 10 seconds anytime amidst anything. Dhamma. Anger is an energy— but that don't make it good in fact anger leads to... . Check rising anger as a driver corrects a runaway vehicle— a true driver, others asleep at t...

SFB#007 Electric Lady Spire

September 12, 2020 16:34 - 13 minutes - 12.4 MB

In this 10seconds you can take in the entire second chunk of the scroll, the crawl, the yellow words that started this fairy tale off. Well gee wiz Wally-E. It just so happened, before video, theatrical release sitting watching the movie as much as I want. Some friends came along but really no one was THAT interested except me in my little world. Armored Space Station. George freakin' Lucas. Other things. A good beat. Noooooo One who clings to nothing of the past, present nor the future, w...

SFB#006 Beach Serial Mantra

September 08, 2020 22:54 - 16 minutes - 15.1 MB

We make it to the second paragraph of the crawl. The Scroll. The whole thing is here— thanks George! Spaceships. Ten Second practice. Inhalation. Strange collage. Eye of the Tigergate. Swimmin' with Captain Marvel 1, 2 and Shazam!! Hey, Rogue Oner, gettin' down in the water. I am one with the Force, the Force is with Me. That'll be five thousand dollars. One who in every way knows the death and rebirth of all being and is totally unattached, fortunate and among the most awake — they I ca...

SFB#005 Empire Weaves Back

August 28, 2020 16:34 - 16 minutes - 15 MB

The density and fabric, the weave of Scifi Buddha deepens. Lush and sound rich. Maybe too rich for the tribble in you? The Empire Strikes Back Talkabout begins— not as slow as '77, quicker than 10seconds at a time but still, we will practice, we will incorporate, collage and take our time. I mean, with this first dip into the Empire Talkabout, the show on the screen and in the podcast hasn't even started! And it is only with this episode do we get the first Star Warzy words. Remember, Popcor...

SFB#004 Ant Nibbles

August 19, 2020 21:43 - 20 minutes - 19 MB

A very dense soup is best consumed with little nibbles. Wait. Maybe that's popcorn. With the fourth set of tens we make it to the receding Star Wars Logo and a certain point of view! That title, A New Hope, was not apart of the original release in 1977. Talk of The Day the Earth Stood Still (the original) is jabbered about. Fear, the base emotion, is recognized. Heavy theremin howled about. Beyond first contact, matter of factness is still a mindblower. Paul, the movie, not the host is reca...

SFB#003 DirtyLine

August 04, 2020 22:00 - 15 minutes - 14.4 MB

Gah! Mistakes and rumination and Dirty Line making it all too real as we move up another ten seconds to a Long Time Ago.... Ok there is ellipsis, then there is ellipse, and don't forget ellipses. Can you remember the difference between them all? No wonder Lucas threw in an extra dot — just to be safe, or something. Dhammapada Ch. 4 Section 50 : Dwell not upon the faults of others, dwell not in the omissions and commissions of others. Rather let one reflect upon one's own acts, done and un...

SFB#002 Tasty

July 14, 2020 18:46 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MB

Ya got 10 seconds? We see a logo. There is a dramatic pause. we see another iconic logo recede. SciFi Buddha is starting to find its seat. Dhammapada 2.27: Do not succumb to distraction. Do not overindulge in sense pleasures. Only the mindfuling and collecting (concentrated) know this great happiness. Sauce! Garum. Here is a link from which Frederick speaks: https://youtu.be/5S7Bb0Qg-oE www.mindfuling.org for a more serious podcast regarding meditation and links to more related...
