[Thread of threads]

I'd forgotten I'd made threads as soon as I got here. It wasn't very practical, but I couldn't help myself. 😅

Until I have a system for grouping them on my profile, like on the other network, I'll gather them here. 🖖

1/ George Lucas and the three-second rule:
It's timely because this post was ready: High Life (2018)

Director Claire Denis: "As we were writing the script, I could foresee a box. It would have a corridor in the center, and then on a lower level the garden, and the fuck box. The locker room. The ladder at the lower level. Since..."

The Battle of Tannhauser Gate should have opened the movie, but it was cut for budget reasons.

"I previsualized a lengthy opening sequence intended to represent the Battle at Tannhauser Gate, as mentioned in Blade Runner. The two movies shared..."

I started playing Kingdom: Two Crowns (2018) again with my son. What a successful minimalist strategy and city-building game. We always find it hard to stop playing, as we spend so much time preparing our next objectives. +This game is so beautiful.

One of the best coop games to play with my kids.

I leafed through "Make Us Whole" again, and it really is a great retrospective of Dead Space. It's really fascinating to see how this transmedia project came together, and how the IP evolved and inspired others.

I only played the first game and the remake, but this book was really captivating.

Fritz Lang's Metropolis was released 99 years ago today!
And the story took place in... 2026 😁

And since it's never too late to (re)discover one of the first sci-fi classics...

Red Dwarf X (2012): Erroneous Reasoning Research Academy, model designed & built by Bill Pearson

Originally built as a spaceship for a canceled 1980s sci-fi series (Saurus, a script written by Bill Pearson). Used more than two decades later as a space station in Red Dwarf.

🎵This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

Arco (2025):

Director & co-writer Ugo Bienvenu: “And if I’m honest, tomorrow isn’t going to be better. And so I thought, if we want the best to happen, we have to imagine it first. So ‘Arco’ was a way for me to say, ‘Spread better ideas into the future so they can happen.’ The whole aim of...”

I realize that I have accumulated quite a few images of recent fictional spacecraft that I cannot show on social networks because their existence is TheSecret in several recent films and TV shows. 😅

I'm going to end up creating a separate category: Schrödinger's ships.

Has anyone here successfully "automatically" migrated their Twitter archives (tweets, threads) on BSky? If so, what processes worked?

I know that some people have managed to copy their own Twitter feed, keeping the dates of the OG tweets.

Forbidden Planet (1956)

Nice picture of the set, where the top of the United Planets Cruiser C-57D is not yet hidden (or...brought to life) by a mattepainting (from matte supervisor Warren Newcombe's team).

What was your #childhoodcinema

The Pathé cinema in Maisons-Laffitte (France), which closed when I was very young.

But that's where I saw Spielberg's E.T. when I was 3 or 4 years old, I cried a lot at the end of that aisle, and without that, I probably wouldn't be managing this account.

"Flippfly brought Race The Sun to PC in 2013. We then launched the Challenge Edition on mobile in 2018 with major visual and UI upgrades. We'd love to bring this updated version of the game back home to PC."

Race The Sun was one of my very first games on Steam, and I'm thrilled to see it evolve.

[Thread] I saw High Life (2018), an indie film by Claire Denis starring Robert Pattinson, Mia Goth, and Juliette Binoche.

It's the story of a spaceship carrying prisoners serving life sentences (child murderers, rapists, etc.) that heads towards a black hole to test an energy extraction process.

High Life (2018)

Director & co-writer Claire Denis: "I had a screenplay which was naturally in English, because the story takes place in space and, I don’t know why, but for me, people speak English — or Russian or Chinese — but definitely not French in space."

I protest!! 😂
