It’s not exactly GeekTyrant’s fault. They made an announcement about MOONFALL (short version: moon’s orbit starts decaying, but apparently there’s something that a disgraced astronaut can do about it besides having one last really good meal*) – but they used a still from MIDWAY to illustrate the article, so for a moment I thought we were getting some kind of 1950s-style atomic horror piece involving experimental spaceplanes or something. Or maybe alternate raypunk.
:pause:
Well, hell. I’d watch that. I’d love a big-budget version of that. All switches and gizmos and dials and the really high-tech stuff using “some top-secret stuff the boys in the labs came up with. They call it… the ‘transistor‘.” So I guess I want a Lensman movie. Yes. Give me a Lensman movie. WHERE ARE MY LENSMAN MOVIES, DAMN YOUR EYES…
Sorry.

*I know, I know! It’s Hollywood. At least they’ve learned people can’t breathe in space, although they’re still a little fuzzy on whether you can hear the big explosions.
There was… an anime in the 80’s. It did not go well.
Lensmen on your mind since you wrote it into FD?
