And I got goosebumps every time they did the whole-cast singing of "Can You Hear The People Sing".
I did like that part as well.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I adore Silent Running, primarily because of the plight of the Pre2-D2 robots.
I don't know what it is, but robots and computers with personality will get me every time. Maybe it's the Pinocchio-ness of them all -- they all mostly seem to want to be real people to one degree or another. Also, they all end up as one or another flavor of earnest-but-crazy.

Sean, I don't know if you're into fic, but there's a series about Iron Man from the point of view of Dummy (one of the bots in the movies). It also has some Tony/Steve content. [link] Earnest but crazy describes Dummy In the fic pretty well.

I will heartily second Calli's rec.

I knew what fic series that before I clicked Calli's link. It's so, SO good.

Are there more chapters to the Curiosity story? I can't find a link.

I suspect those chapters are in progress; it was a completed fic originally. The first chapter was written before the third part of the series (Bedtime Stories), so I suspect scifigrl47 is going to go and add more to it now that the events of Bedtime Stories are complete.
Also, as much as I adore her writing, she's working on two different series at the same time, so not everything gets updated in a timely manner. She also has a habit of leaving a WIP to start another story in the series that comes after the WIP. Those will get finished, but then the middle is left just kind of hanging until she gets around to it. I've just gotten to where I won't read her stuff until it is complete.

I've been able to resis that habit, because I know i'd never get back and finish things.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We're watching The Fighter on Netflix, since it's expiring. Sadly, Netflix doesn't seem to have a cut that excises Christian Bale from this movie.

Indeed.
I still enjoyed the movie (for values of "enjoy" that include "covering my eyes during most of the actual boxing scenes"), because it so perfectly portrayed blue-collar Massachusetts in the 1990s. It's not what most people think of when they think of my home state, but it's reality for most of the residents there.
