I must've been half a asleep when I wrote that, because I know what it means.
Long ago, before digital technology, film was edited and spliced on a table upon which was a "gate" that the film fed through. Sometime, dust, debris, or even hair would get in the gate, and there you have it.
The projectors also had a "gate" and when dust got in it, it looked like a big hair fluttering around in the picture. Commercial TV projectors had compressed air that could be blown into the gate to blow out the "hair".
@Dulcimerist Good thing is if you know how you can build your own duplicates, I had to go for cheaper alternitive parts and evtnually just made my own Crow-inspired puppet.
Crow:...they had to pad out the film with all that killing. Joel: Oh no Crow, they never pad out the film with love. Man I love that strange akward piece of accidental dialogue!
These are really neat! See, they're not funny in the way the Poopie tapes are - with these you just see them being frustrated instead of silly lol. Still cool though.
Kevin's accent kicks in between takes big time, first time I've ever heard it.

I don't care how often he messed up: I love Joel. It was adorable how he treated the robots like his children.

@BTLemming you can say that again. but it was his terrible acting that made joel so great. instead of zoned out, he seems... laid back, man.

I didn't realize the door to the theater was so big. I thought it was much closer to the rest of the set than it looks.

Yup, "Hair in the gate". You had to be in television pre-1990 to know what that means.

Yes that too. I remember seeing an editor using the compressed air in Disney's The Reluctant Dragon.

It's funny that Trace and Kevin still interact as Crow and Servo in between takes. It almost makes you worry.
