Ok. This was a very bleak movie but it had elements I enjoyed. I liked the crafting of the story. I got even more out of after this dsicussion though. As Emma says, don't watch it if you are not in a good frame of mind.
And lastly, in this month's Starship Alexandria patrons-only episode, @aptshadow and I discuss a recommendation from one of our patrons. It's a movie called Aniara (2018). If you want to get an extra episode every month, you can become a patron here: www.patreon.com/StarshipAlex...

In this episode I learned it's possible to play far, far too much "Vampire: The Mascarade".

Lovelies, here's a shiny new episode of Starship Alexandria, in which I recommend the movie Godzilla Minus One to @aptshadow.bsky.social in the hope he'll recommend it to the fleet.
It's a cosy, nerdy, and occasionally silly low stakes discussion.

We’re having monster fun on the new Starship Alexandria episode. Plus our patron special looks at the weird, bleak but very good film Aniara.

There are many reasons I love making Starship Alexandria with @aptshadow.bsky.social such as lots of laughter with a very dear friend, and being able to have nerdy conversations about things I love. Discovering new things is high on the list, but more so seeing listeners discover and love them too!

Speaking of @emmanewman.bsky.social , hearing you swearing and laughing in the bloopers episode of the advent series really elevated my mood on a dim day. So much so that I decided to finally give one of your books a try, and I’m really enjoying Planetfall. Excellent writing and performance!

Finished Le Guin‘s ‘The Lathe of Heaven’ today. Such a captivating novel with which to begin the year - the type that a reader is likely to ponder on *long* after the closing pages (oh, & the final paragraph is beautifully crafted).

Morning Womble, I'm currently between books after finishing 'The Vengeance' by @emmanewman.bsky.social last night. Its an excellent swashbuckling adventure in 18th Century France and I enjoyed it a lot.
As I've no book pic though, have this one I took this morning from the bridge near my house :)
