Seconds with Rock Hudson… a devastating film, beautifully made. Sci Fi without space and rockets.

The Moon (the recent one). Brilliant.Silent Running is an other good sci-fi film imo, especially as it seems all too plausible, though really sad as only one robot is left alone at the end to tend the garden, a real tear jerker just to warn peeps who haven't seen it. Anyone else got any sci-fi recs?
I think what's neat about that movie is that the robots were all leg amputees: while it's hard for people with such disabilities to find acting roles...it's probably worst so that these effects would be CG. Bruce Dern is such a timeless actor: he also is a pivotal actor in Palm Royale (but the best person in it is the great Carol Burnett). Of sci-fi movies in the 70s, I think the Soviet Solaris is really interesting. While 2001 is always a classic for sci-fi, I think there's some really great futurism. You can clearly see some tablet devices: they were IBM pads, but pretty much the same as the first iPads.Silent Running is an other good sci-fi film imo, especially as it seems all too plausible, though really sad as only one robot is left alone at the end to tend the garden, a real tear jerker just to warn peeps who haven't seen it.

Oh of course! Silly me! I don't think I have ever seen this movie (movies like this are IGNORED AND IGNORED AND SUPER-IGNORED AND HYPER-HATED by the members of society who have say about what movies are pushed to people). I have been Youtube videos talking about this movie and how ignored and hated it is...Black Hole: can understand why Ryokan references it as the gif is Maximilian robot in it, and his avatar is VINCent from the same movie.
What's most telling: the cost of a daily manatee premiere screen is over $20 per person. Apparently all that goes to the studio/distributor and the theater gets its money for costly concessions. I decided I should try out a Dolby Cinema theater near me, and have pre-ordered a ticket for the new Mad Max movie. Not expecting the movie itself to be a height in artistry of cinema, but should be good entertainment with 3D audio and Dolby Vision color grading. Just got the 4K disc of Dune 2: saw one reviewer going on about how many times he saw it in the theater (and if IMAX aspect ratio is warranted: seeing the cinematography with the movie, I think there's clear framing for 2.35:1 ratio). What I found most interesting was he claimed a Dolby Cinema screen is too low in volume, while he preferred IMAX. The last blockbuster movie I saw in the cinema was Avatar 2 on an IMAX screen: my chief complaint was that the audio was way too loud (especially for me having to be exposed to 4 hours of deafening levels. Maybe that means I'll enjoy Dolby if it's "too quiet". I've been a home theater enthusiast since I have a calibrated display that has better quality than typical screens, I can set my own audio preferences, and we're getting a wealth of film restorations in 4K.I saw it when it came out… I still want my $4 back.
