I spent a while asking my friends for an excuse to see it "Is it at least cool to look at? Is it at least pretty exciting? Is the soundtrack awesome?" But they kept saying "Nope, not really" so I didn't

Amethyst posted:it really makes me sad that interstellar is what passes for a critically acclaimed sci fi movie my point isn't that it's critically acclaimed gently caress that it drew audiences, like gravity, to see scifi movies that aren't in the marvel mcu or the star bleck you know you want to see a mainstreamed scifi movie with some good actors and decent effects that isn't mcu or stretch marks V the returning so they will eventually throw some money at a decent scifi movie

finished consider phlebas, my first culture book pro: -plot informed at any given point by multiple levels of conflict, from interpersonal to intergalactic -space pirates getting into some real pickles -epic card game of doom -protagonist bangs furry -character biographies at the end which i imagined being read over mirthful freeze frames of the characters set to an original song by simple minds con: -periodic pages-long monologues about how cool & important author's concepts and beliefs are (i also hated this in wasp factory) -final third of book was an escort quest through a subway level with no objective marker

Oh man I have to read some of thesequote:The Richard Blade books are best described as “James Bond goes to Barsoom.” A superspy, Richard Blade, wakes up on another planet after a mind-travel experiment. A surprising number of plot points involve pointing out that Richard Blade has an enormous penis, possibly the biggest on the planet. It’s been a while since I’ve read these, but two moments that stood out were when Blade received a blowjob from a cannibal woman, and also when had to hide his disgust when he had to have sex with a witch with a great body but a weird face. mild  http://vintagegeekculture.tumblr.com/post/133217973068/the-richard-blade-books-are-best-described

The Time Dissolver posted:finished consider phlebas, my first culture book phlebas has some odd touches that i can't quite figure out like laying down character arc foundations for what happens after the story is over, shortly before pasting everyone all over the front of a runaway train. the fact banks goes out of his way to give horza and yalson a pregnancy they start planning for when they all die 50 pages later makes for a really bleak story and a strangely heavy introduction to the culture setting.

you can tell by the gendered interactions he has with the other characters. i'm sure bb-8's gender will become clear in the same way
