and, as you might know, i’m a sci-fi nerd.
it’s true.
the reason that i mention this is that i just watched the movie ‘sunshine’, and it was fantastic.
forgive my ignorance, but was this movie ever released in the states?
it’s one of the best science-fiction movies i’ve seen in the last 20 years.
am i the only sci-fi nerd on the planet who doesn’t know about this movie?
is it maybe being released in the states later this year?
what a fantastic science-fiction movie.
beautifully made, plausible, good science, remarkably well acted, etc(kind of a terrible title, but that’s the only bad thing about the movie).
sort of equal parts ‘solaris’ and ‘2001’(i know, that might sound like heresy to other sci-fi geeks, but it really is a good movie).
i don’t have internet access here over the atlantic ocean, but when i get home i’m going to do some geek sleuthing and figure out if either:
a-it was released and ignored
or
b-it wasn’t released.
or
c-it was released and lauded and i’m just the last sci-fi geek on the planet to know about it.

4-will riker’s imzadi is whom?
5-doogie howser played a psy-ops officer in which movie?
6-arthur c. clarke did what in addition to write great books?
7-(another easy one…)the original ‘solaris’ was directed by which russian director?
8-prune juice is a warriors drink. explain.
9-what is a mentat?
ok, now i’ve completely shredded the last remaining vestiges of whatever cool credibility i might’ve ever had. oops.
