60 of 310 · most liked firstI watched Contact (1997) for the first time last night. Watching human progress sabotaged by stupid, religious males was heartbreakingly poignant, especially considering this film is nearly 30 years old & religion is still a vehicle for gratuitous aggression, deluded egotism, and stupidity.
positive · AI labelView post →watching STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT, easily my favorite Star Trek movie and the one that weirdly ended up shaping my understanding of contingency and history.
neutral · AI labelView post →On this 60th anniversary of #StarTrek, I am especially proud that my first film credit was on Star Trek: First Contact, or Star Trek 8, as we called it at Industrial Light & Magic. My official ILM credit is "Rebel Unit Production Manager." My team provided digital spaceships and effects.

neutral · AI labelView post →No joke when I say that Silence of the Lambs is a comfort film for me (watched it just last week) and Contact satisfies the weird spacetime wormhole stuff I like. Jodie Foster is terrific in both.

neutral · AI labelView post →29 years ago today, “Contact” (dir. Robert Zemeckis) was released in the theaters. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: it’s the most underrated film of the 1990s. For people interested in science, it’s a must watch.
positive · AI labelView post →Contact. Underrated. (I mean the movie) (although human contact, no bad either)
positive · AI labelView post →Share a SCI-FI or SCI-FANTASY movie title that begins with the letter “C” 🎥 C is for… ‘Contact’ (1997) 🖤

neutral · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ Contact (1985) by Carl Sagan was adapted to film in 1997 by Robert Zemeckis. A hard scifi novel, the film takes a global rather than US-centric view. Additionally, the film attempts to reconcile faith with humanity's leap forward, which the book does not do. 🚀👽🌌 #filmsky #booksky

However, if pressed I will always tell you that I think the very greatest Star Trek film is GALAXY QUEST. It's just how I'm built. Anyway, this one rips.)
positive · AI labelView post →RIP Tom Skerritt, a rad guy who showed up in films as diverse as M*A*S*H, THIEVES LIKE US, ALIEN, TOP GUN, STEEL MAGNOLIAS, and CONTACT and had a robust TV career that peaked with PICKET FENCES and an appearance on TIM AND ERIC AWESOME SHOW, GREAT JOB. He also made a movie called SEXYCOP.
