I hope the GOP won't be stupid enough to push for a draft, as that would probably be the straw to break the camel's back and get us a terror going. God I hope there's a draft And women can be in combat roles now lmao

SOLARIS Lem never ceases to impress. A confrontation in an alien land with a being absolutely incomprehensible to the human mind, and if it is to be assumed that the ocean is rational, very likely we are to it. It's tough to label a book that sweeps over so much strangeness, but calling it science fiction seems wrong. The science aspect of it is omnipresent, but not core to much in the way it is with typical "hard" sci-fi like The Martian. It is on the edges, highlighting the strangeness by verifying it, setting it aside emphatically from the more dreamlike and philosophical aspects of the book. I recommend it highly, and for one of the first times I'm actually going to go ahead and watch the two movies adapted from this novel, because I'm genuinely curious as to how it would be presented.

I blame Scottsdale Arizona and imagine when I type this that I'm saying it and spitting the city/state words out like black poisonous bile.

If Fallout really happens though instead of being pre-war ghouls with neat and terrible stories some poor bastard is going to have to spend the rest of their very long lives explaining how dumb 2017 was

Bethamphetamine posted:Scottsdale, AZ As someone who lives in AZ, Scottsdale is possibly the worst part of a garbage state Sure up north you get MAGA weirdos and end times Mormons but Scottsdale is where the people who like to think they're rich and affluent congregate to make terrible decisions. It's also still in a terrible 110 degree heat instead of the smarter people who live up north who have actual trees

Kilmers Elbow posted:The Russian one is long, weird and often boring - but Natalia Bondarchuk is gorgeous. Neiher one really touches on the book tbh, with the descriptions of the planet itself and the profound alienness of it and what that means, which is impossible to express in non-words I actually recommend the book before hte movie because the book takes less time to read than the movie to watch

Slamhound posted:Both movies are good. I especially like Soderbergh's as it evokes a very particular mood, a kind of haunting unreality that really sells the alien otherness of the book. I've heard a lot of good things about the Clooney Solaris tbh, even if it lacks the elements from the book that I adore. Like, a lot. I need to watch it, at least because I loved the book so much,.

I need to watch it, at least because I loved the book so much,. It focuses on the relationship between Chris and Rhea (loads of flashbacks etc) and does it quite well. But a lot of the book gets lost - there's very little examination of what's going on with Solaris itself. I like it but I'm in a minority in my neck of the woods.
