my mom died like $60k in debt & the most affecting part of my childhood wasn’t even the violence, it was watching her cry at the table every week & scream “we’ll have to move” while she tried to manage bills & move shit between cards.
i’ve gone without a lot of shit rather than stack up interest.

Galaxy Quest is my go-to when I feel depressed. It makes me laugh every time, and ‘Never give up! Never surrender!’ has been a great mantra in a tight corner. I adored the original Star Trek I watched in monochrome in the 1960s. I honestly believe it expanded my understanding of the world.

You can hear Parisot tell the story below.
Rickman (and others) HATED Tim Allen. Rickman lays into him in his diaries.
It's one reason the film works so well. Allen was IRL more like the Shatner parody of actor-who-overrates-himself than Shatner ever was.

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day
"I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off.
There's silence for a second.
"Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."

Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.
Sigourney Weaver Says She Wishes DreamWorks Released A Director’s Cut Of ‘Galaxy Quest,’ Reminisces On Sequel That Never Came To Pass
Sigourney Weaver reflected on cult classic Galaxy Quest and how she wishes the sci-fi satire had released an R-rated director's cut.

Every time I make egg salad, and I realize the mayo is also an emulsion made of egg, I wonder if I'm risking infinite recursion.
