/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I saw that film in the theater and I have to say I remember absolutely nothing about it. I do remember it reminded me of the Welsh comedy, The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain.
If you haven't seen it, you should look up: The Secret of Roan Inish
I haven't. Thanks. I admit, I haven't seen a huge number of Irish films, looking at a list of Wikipedia films. I've seen some of the big ones like The Commitments, My Left Foot and Michael Collins, but that's about it.
Edit: Oh wait, that's the selkie film. I have seen it.
The Secret of Roan Inish is a top five movie for me. Mick Lally doing traditional Irish storytelling is truly amazing.
Not sure if you saw my edit, but I actually have seen it. It's just been a very long time. Again, I don't remember a lot about it. I'm going to have to watch these films again.
Oh cool! It came out in the 90s, so hardly anyone has seen it. I've yet to meet anyone who has. It's such a beautiful film all around.
I worked a part-time job as a projectionist at an art house/indie/foreign film theater for a while in the 90s, and I was a regular patron before that, so I saw a lot of smaller movies in that era.
It's funny because I've seen hardly any new movies since my daughter was born. Too hard to go to the theater for years and I just sort of fell out of the habit of watching them.
I was a projectionist at a 12-plex in late high school through college!
Nice. This was a small time operation. They didn't even have a permanent theater location. We moved 16mm projectors between a nightclub which showed the films twice a week and a theater on campus which they did some sort of deal I knew nothing about in order to show films there. And there was a separate theater on campus that also showed movies, so that was extra weird.
We usually had two projectors and had to wait until the reel ended on one, started the other ASAP, rewound the reel on the first one and then put the third reel (or did this process more than that if it was a longer film) on the first projector.
The nice thing for me was that the nightclub often did standup after the movie and I would stick around and hang out with the host who, also ran the sound board, became friendly with the comedians and eventually became the host myself, which got me into standup comedy and that got me a decent career doing comedy writing and other comedy-related things in L.A., so it all worked out pretty well.
On the other hand, it almost landed me in the hospital once when they decided to have a special outdoor showing of Rocky Horror at one of the dorms on their lawn and it was a particularly humid day and I saw all the moisture building up slowly around the projector as it got darker and darker out until the lamp blew up and the fireball narrowly missed me.
