Watched Arrival tonight. I went into it knowing nothing besides that it was on my list for some reason or another, and I loved it. (From the absurd to the sublime eh?)

The style and pace of Denis Villenueve just resonate with me (as they so clearly did with Dune) and the “flashbacks” of Hannah of course tied the whole thing together emotionally, with the Greek mythology twist of the curse of knowing one’s fate.

You haven't seen that before?!? For shame.....

Absolutely one of my favorite movies. Better than the short story it is based on IMHO.

I still can't believe someone your age made it through life without seeing Alien.

Children of Men is fantastic, as is The Abyss. I do wonder if the special effects hold up though. The Abyss in particular is pretty old at this point.

I’ve seen some already like Childen of Men, on there for rewatching

 

[Toshi]

Jeezus, dude.

Not enough hours in the day even neglecting the research work I’m supposed to do for work
