Kiitos!

Nice to see House on the Borderland here. I still often think about that cosmic time dilation scene, and I'm not even sure if I remember it from the book or some imagined variation of it I wanted to drop into a screenplay... 🔥

Hmmm... Time Wizard, siis. 😎

Hahaha! Vaimo opetteli Suomea, mutta kyllästyi kun joka toinen lause muistutti että Velho on Wizard. 🪄

I've only seen it maybe three times, but yes. And yes.

JT Lindroos @oivas.com · 15h

Now I desperately want to rewatch it. And not JUST for that attack and his response, mind you.

Always lovely to get a long distance comp copies, especially these days of preposterous shipping costs. This one courtesy of the fabulous @jprieger.bsky.social. All the way from Maryland USA to the fall colors of Hämeenlinna, Finland. Thanks Paul! Now get your copies! 😊🔥 #booksky #kirjataivas

J Paul Rieger's book A MOST UNLIKELY MAN, being held in my hand in front of a yellow leaved Hazelnut tree in our yard.

Add Orwell, Iain Banks, Shelley, Huxley, Gibson usw. Somehow they only see Ayn Rand, plus cool tech ideas.

Cartoon, tech bro interviewed: "PKD, Ray Bradbury. Like so many others in tech, I draw inspiration from completely misunderstanding those authors."

Yep. Ignorance is bliss. For a minute.

Jokainen promille mitä säästetään hiilineutraalisuudessa on voittoa, toki kun katsoo miten metaani kuplii ilmakehään Antarktiksen kupeesta tekee itsestäni pessimistisen lopputuloksen suhteen. Hallittu talouslasku (degrowth) ja voimakas varautuminen lähitulevaan olisi oma toiveeni joka ei toteutune..

Eiköhän RKPkin sinne mennyt askel askeleelta. Enkä väitä olevani asiantuntija, mutta fiilispohjalta tämä kuulostaa askeleelta samaan suuntaan. Odotan vihreiltä edes pientä (elo)kapinahenkeä, jota vasemmisto nyt osoitti. Toivottavasti sitä vielä tulee.

Valitettavasti tämä kuulostaa samalta kuin RKP:n viimevuotiset kommentit. Tai hampaattomat demokraatit jenkeissä. Olen ollut vihreitä äänestämässä 35 vuotta (ja jenkkidemareita 18), ehkäpä jäänyt sama vaihde vahingossa päälle...

Cargo captain, and a mysterious appearance of another person on the boat (who may be a younger version of the captain). Tenuous, but with perhaps some echoes.

JT Lindroos @oivas.com · 1d

Yep. Some days my favorite film of all time, though only based on my memory of seeing it decades ago. Not sure I want to revisit, oddly.

JT Lindroos @oivas.com · 1d

Description reads like a modern take on Conrad's The Secret Sharer. I'll pick up a copy so I can prove myself wrong.

JT Lindroos @oivas.com · 1d

Yes! I didn't quite love it, but certainly fits the description.

JT Lindroos @oivas.com · 1d

Never heard of this, but I admit, the notion of a cargo ship residence and that magnificent cover has me more than a little intrigued.

Lovely thread. Nordic noir is more Lem than Christie? Perfect.

Great suggestions, thanks! Never heard of Anchoress, which sounds terrific. Love Virgin Spring and Rublev, and agree on Rose though kind of hated the movie... at least all the dialogue -- otherwise it LOOKED lovely.

JT Lindroos @oivas.com · 4d

😂 But worth a watch probably anyway. 😁

JT Lindroos @oivas.com · 4d

I wanted to rewatch soon as I'd finished it, because I knew I'd see a different film with new eyes. 🔥
