  • Potential happiness and joy session tonight or soon perhaps. I really really enjoy watching sci-fi films with beautiful galaxies, planets, environments, architectures, vessels, life-forms and technology stuff with a good bit of seriousness, romance, cuteness, oddness, humour and silliness being involved. There was a film doing all this all the way (as far I was concerned) called Guardians of the Galaxy ~ a couple of years back which became one of my all time favourites, and I got the sequel to it today, and I am really intrigued to see if the film makers have done a good job of it . . .

  • Guardian's of the Galaxy is a very good film. Not seen the sequel so no spoilers please!

    my favourite is still Bladerunner. Studied the philosophy of the book as part of my first degree.  - it's philosophical and existential themes. Love Phillip K ***.

    "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

    Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

    I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

    All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

    Time to die."

    nuff said deep thought.

    From the philosophical and existential perspective, the replicant/puppet-origami theme of Bladerunner, the spice/melange-wierding-way theme of Dune, and the monolith-door/passage-advancement theme of 2001: A Space Odyssey were pretty much my favourites. Oh - Logon's Run too. Actually I could go on and on about so many films but best not perhaps.

    Definitely got to say though that the 'C-beam/Tears In Rain' monologue of the replicant Roy Batty was immense for me, it moved me to the core.
