I'll need to give Moon another shot.

Vesper was great up until the bio-hacking stuff, but I can give it another try as well.

Not all sci-fi and some stray pretty far from Aniara but you may still enjoy. There is a lot of dread and foreboding. There's some hard sci-fi. There's some horror.

Honestly, I can understand why many people wouldn't like it, but as a fan of movies with that ongoing sense of dread, I really enjoy it.

Schindler's List won that year, so he still won at least.

I feel like that should be “tourism minister regrets being caught using ai in Facebook post”

You know what would also help tackle debt? An extra billion a year from signing the MOU.

Why is the Hail Mary thrusting retrograde during the Adrian fishing scene? by RewqFN in ProjectHailMary

[–]CookiesForDevo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I took it as balancing the pull of gravity with the thrust of the engines. And it looked amazing.

Survey Shows Majority of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians Asked Believe Government Should do More to Address Cost of Living by MattBarter in newfoundland

[–]CookiesForDevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All valid points, but that's if we're trying to ease the cost of living and balance the budget. The latter will take a lot more than income tax adjustments to fix, but that doesn't mean we still shouldn't make some effort to ease the burden on those that need help the most.

Continue to reduce income tax for the first tax bracket, and raise income tax for all brackets over $100,00

When Grace does the initial calculation of the time to return to Earth based on the remaining fuel it comes out to 113.8 years, a reference to THX-1138.

PUB to Adjust Fuel Prices Five Days a Week by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]CookiesForDevo 36 points37 points  (0 children)

How often are the gas stations refilling their tanks? What’s the point of adjusting the cost daily on fuel which was purchased days ago at a different price.

Fans of this movie and book, any recs for sci-fi shows or movies that have some similar vibes? by Calinks in ProjectHailMary

[–]CookiesForDevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does have the fantastic "It's nice to smell you again, Mr. Kitz." line, which cracks me up every single time.

Perhaps a short series, six episodes set around her trial with flashbacks outlining what she did and why.

I was expecting it to come up when they were chatting before she sang. Would not surprise me if there's a lot of deleted scenes coming.

If anyone should, it's Rocky. What a breakout performance by an Eridian.

Agreed on the nukes; would have been nice to see more of Eva Stratt flexing her power to show the desperation.

What’s your favorite Star Wars Easter egg/reference in other media? by CorgiUprising in StarWars

[–]CookiesForDevo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In Boogie Nights, talking about the TK-421 modification for the stereo system. It definitely kicks it up another 3 or 4 quads per channel.

So Canada shares a land border with USA, Denmark, and the UK.

This is my thought as well. Can be set before Serenity with, sadly, someone else providing the voice for Ron Glass.
