Well, that was OK. Ending was a bit sudden. But a nice study in space survival. Must remember that when I go to Mars.

I think it ended so suddenly because they'd run out of ideas! Or maybe budget.

True but it's interesting to note this is a few years before the actual events of Apollo 13 so all the stuff about using what you have became real for that crew. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

So what happened to 'Friday'? Did he get back to Earth? Did the Andromedans follow? Is that how the Intergalactic War started? Where's the follow-up?

I don't know whose idea that was, but it was a good one. I'd never even heard of that film. What are we watching next week? |

I liked this one better than the Thing, anyway. Well tried, that man.

I didn't put a News announcement about it this week. Do you think it's worth doing it each week to let people know what we're watching? Or leave them to find the thread themselves?

I liked the Andy Weir book though. Edited by OneSparePart on 11-04-2024 20:54 Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

OK, time read my husband the next installment of his bedtime story. It's SF by C S Lewis, set on Venus, actually. Don't think anyone's tried making it into a film. Thanks, OSP. Looking forward to the next one. Goodnight both! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

There does appear to be a youtube video of a trailer for a film of Perelandra - I wonder if the film was ever made? Anyway, goodnight. |
