Thanks for the homework, I've already watched two of the four, and Andor was on my list, but now I got a new one. Love Sam Rockwell forever after this movie... and then he became Zaphod too! Legend!

This was a brilliant weekend #scififilm watch for me. Very odd (in a good way) tone and some great performances from the cast. A shade of B V Larsen's brilliant Undying Mercenary series around the core concept too: Undying Mercenaries Series by B.V. Larson share.google/Fqp5hcSOLO25...

This makes me think of that Tom Cruise film Oblivion (which I think is pretty good) but it's based on a promised comic book that as far as I can gather was NEVER written!? How does that work?

Finally figured out why I love sci-fi movies like #Alien but hate #StarWars:

The tech in Alien, looks both 80โ€™s and far future. Tech thatโ€™s so futuristic it looks unfathomable like Marvelโ€™s nanotech or Star Warsโ€™ weapons are super boring, I wanna be able to see how the tech WORKS

Spaceship

Spaceship

John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)

Susan Frank Turner: "John Carpenter told me his concept of what a spaceship should be like โ€” he liked the '50s spaceships. He was very nice person, very cordial [and] very supportive. So I went back, and I made it."
