This new trailer gave me the chills. I really need to see 2001: ASO again. One of my favorite movies.

@starbreaker You seem to have found a home you enjoy here, and that's great!

Sometimes I think about just taking things people have said to me in life and making them into author blurbs.

"Like a slacker Samuel Beckett" - best friend

"About the stupidest one here" - abusive ex-employer

@emdeesee We’re on the same page. The 90s movie is goofy and uneven, but there are things I like about it.

@emdeesee Relative to the 60s series, definitely! Relative to a lot of the updates and reboots we get now, not so much. (For example, BSG 2.0)

@emdeesee I thought it was a fun romp. Dramatic writing was fairly tight. I (literally) don't know about the science, but I appreciated the variety of challenges presented to the protagonists. Kind of relieved they didn't go grimdark and kept it about on par with its predecessors in terms of tone.

Hi, I'm Daniel! At the recommendation of @starbreaker, here's my introduction. I'm a fantasy author and freelance writer. I dabble in far too many subject but am into:

#fantasy (I write books)

#bmovies and #cultmovies (I enjoy the subversive qualities of 80s cinema, but find devotional nostalgia boring)

#scifi (mostly of the cult and b-movie kind)

#philosophy (mostly #stoicism but also #buddhism)

tabletop #rpg

#books

And #linux although mostly as a tool that gets out of my way.

@lexjay @craigmaloney thank you!

@emdeesee @starbreaker I feel like that’s going to be a big S2 test of their character and morality — the question of how to deal with her.

@craigmaloney thanks! I wouldn’t mind!

@starbreaker Thanks, Matthew, I really appreciate the invitation and the shoutout!
