I'll give this the obligatory "Thumbs-up for Harmontown" even though I think Donnie Darko is amazing. (And I was already a 34-year-old curmudgeonette when it was released!)

There's a girl who felt that way about Space Jam, and she's not a bad person Got me good dude 🤣🤣🤣

I like these people

Remo Williams - The Adventure Begins I love the ones that are try-harding to be the first film in a franchise but then there's never a sequel

Fun, but they're not quite describing a fictional moon colony and more likely interested in creating a mobile home space park in orbit. I can just imagine Dan Harmon's Gundam now... "It is the year 007 of the Universal Century. A half century has passed since Earth began moving one hundred people into tiny space stations. A new home for Harmonkind...where geniuses are born. And raised. And died."

Donnie Darko feels amazing if you're like 15 or something, like that it feels really profound... Like it really hits that brooding 'man i'm so deep and think things about stuff and animals don't have wars'-nerve... Or whatever... It really commits to its tone and its effective if your at the right age. As an adult it should read as a bunch of self-important psuedo-intellectual broody teenager shit.

Dan basically wants the plot of the Leonardo DiCaprio movie “The Beach”. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well for them.

It's really fun to hear people with no engineering or scientific or even just practical handiman background talking about the feasibility of a lunar colony. It's a fun kind of naivety. If anyone would like to read some reeeally good books that go all hard science on the feasibility of lunar colonies while still telling a fun and interesting story, I reccomend first "Artemis" by Andy Weir, who wrote "The Martian" which of course became the Matt Damon film. It goes very hard on all the details of how you'd get enough oxygen, how you'd guard against leaks and fires, it's great if you're into detail and engineering and mechanics and so on. Second is "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein. 1966 so it's showing its age but it's still a classic, winner of a few awards for sci fi novels. If you like Clockwork Orange then you'll love how the characters on the moon have their own ideosyncratic dialect and you have to slowly learn what the different slang words mean but just like Clockwork Orange it all becomes a second language on repeat viewings. It's also very funny, while still exploring the sociopolitics of living on the moon in a quasi-anarchical society where things like good manners are self enforced because it's so easy to just sabotage someone's spacesuit and get rid of them with no questions. It puts more thought into how people would treat each other than Artemis does. Both very good books and I reccomend them if you enjoy science fiction, hard sci-fi, and want to think more about the logistics of living on the moon!

Dan is so close to understanding some very simple things. My dude needs therapy or to read theory

socialism gets lowkey wrecked in this episode
