Sign you watch/read too much scifi

Looking at a crack in the train window today, my first thought was "Oh no! If that blows we'll all be sucked into the vacuum!"

I think this can be blamed specifically on having watched the first disk of "Planetes", which has the most realistic portrayal of future zero G space travel etc I can think of (It has the advantage of being animated)

Also: Borders has 20% off for teachers and students for the next three days! Since I am neither (AT LAST) I thought I'd enjoy the sale vicariously :)

And because they were realistically portraying sound in a vacuum they probably saved a lot on their audio budget

Good point! Cheapskates :)

Planetes is very cool.

Don't forget to look at the extras, especially the interviews with the NASA debris section...

Yes it is, thankyou for recommending it.

Oops, I started watching the extras, got distracted, and then returned it. Oh well, there's always the next disk...

*blinks*

Students get 20% off books? Do you just need to show your student card or something?


*rubs hands together*

*tries to steal boyfriends wallet because she STILL hasn't got any money* :P

Do you just need to show your student card or something?


That's the impression I got

I recently saw a 1981 B-grade sci-fi movied called Outland (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082869/), with Sean Connery in the lead. The whole thing was nothing more than an excuse to show half a dozen gory decompression deaths.

Have you seen "Total Recall"? That scene is all class.
