Prior to that, my idea of science fiction was largely "space opera." 2001 made me realize that science fiction could be much broader in scope. In 1978, I saw Dark Star at a science fiction convention and it turned my head around once again. The bright, shiny, earnest worlds that I envisioned as our future were put under a microscope and shown lacking. I laughed with exhilaration. It was cathartic. I walked out of the convention hall with the same sense of excitement that I had leaving the movie theater two years earlier, but for entirely different reasons. It's amazing how well both movies hold up after all these years.Neal Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053148427058126745noreply@blogger.com
