Lovely & Amazing has a great Emily Mortimer performance. Very brave in one scene, too.

Would it be Dirty Filthy Love? Doesn't have Mortimer in the cast though.

I saw Arrival again tonight, even better on a second viewing.
Maybe it's a Bussard ramjet or similar, or an ion engine that is more fuel-efficient than current models?Dear me - this film seems to want to correct some of the mistakes in films like Interstellar and Gravity, but it looks like it may have fallen into a few traps itself.
As I've mentioned, the ship doesn't seem to have any visible fuel reserves- but it is supposedly travelling at 0.5 c, so it would need a lot of fuel (and propellant) to slow down. The drive (whatever it is) seems to be 'on' all the time, meaning the ship would still be accelerating - this would affect the local perception of 'down' in the rotating segments, but if the acceleration is very small this might not be much of a problem. But even a small acceleration maintained over hundreds of years would require lots of fuel tankage.
Most of the reviews of Passengers I've seen say it's fairly dull and a waste of two fun stars. I'm still curious to see for myself, though.
I didn't think it was that bad either. Still, good list, a few there I haven't seen also.I don't agree that Zardoz is a stinker, Connery is woefully miscast but the film has some good ideas.
Brain Damage is one of Frank Henenlotter's best
That looks just awful. Really bad special FX.Ha! It was! Although it also looks rather like a stool.
I think I saw that a long time ago - is that the one with the drugs allegory creature that looks like a singing knob?
:glee::glee::glee:The Expanse just began it's second series.
Does this mean I have to give up cheese now?
