In Duncan Jones' directing debut Moon, Sam Rockwell is a hard-working moon miner about to finish up his contract working for the government. His only companions are tapes from home and a talking computer, GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey in an eerie HAL-like voice). Sam whiles his time away sending videos back to his wife and child on Earth and building elaborate matchstick buildings when he's not retrieving precious resources from the moon for the folks back home. His tour of duty is so close to ending, he can taste it -- but of course, that's when things start going awry. It's hard to discuss Moon without giving away surprises. So beware -- Spoilers Ahead! -- as we talk with Rockwell and Jones about their trippy, old-school science-fiction flick. We get down to brass tacks about video games, futurism, Sam's refusal to get a computer, therapy, Twittering, and many other topics besides Duncan Jones' dad (who is David Bowie, fine, so let's move on).

The Tribeca Film Festival is over, and Duncan Jones is one happy dude. His directorial debut Moon -- a lonely sci-fi spookfest starring Sam Rockwell -- was extremely well received and is riding a lunar module of buzz all the way to its June 12 release date. Jones -- born Zowie Bowie to some Brit named David -- celebrated his film's premiere last week at new Meatpacking catacomb Bar 675 (at a Heineken and Stoli-sponsored event), where he talked about releasing an indie in sea of blockbusters, the genius of Sam Rockwell, and knowing thyself.

Choke is a vulgar film, obscene and obsessive. Sexual addiction, chronic masturbation, colonial theme parks, mental institutions, and one lady's woo woo. Culled straight from the mind of iconoclastic author Chuck Palahniuk, the film is a juggling act of childhood trauma, compulsion, and redemption, all brought to life by first-time director Clark Gregg, and starring the colorful oddball Sam Rockwell. The three of them were recently in New York doing press for the film, and when you're around such depraved individuals, asking the typical, overused junket questions (what was it like working with such and such?) becomes, well, mind-numbing. For Sam, Chuck, and Clark, a different approach was used, and the results were enlightening. Up next, why Clark Gregg wants to be Hayden Panettiere's Siamese twin, why Sam Rockwell wants to live inside Heavy Metal , and why Chuck Palahniuk wants to have sex with a giant panda.
