Patrick, trust me when I tell you, this is the film you are looking for!!!!! -Rich *A Sidewalk Astronomer - A Film about Astronomy, Cosmology, and John Dobson* http://www.telescopepictures.com/ On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 10:53 PM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>wrote:
For those who may not know, the U of U's Utah Museum of Natural History has a program called Science Movie Night wherein monthly they screen a "sciency" movie at the main SLC library after which they have and have a guest speaker speak, and interact with the audience, about the movie. Admission is free.
I've been asked to do another, probably sometime early next year so now I need to come up with a movie.
Being an "astro-geek" I usually do something with an astronomy and/or space exploration theme.
Any suggestions?
Note that the movie need not be (and I prefer it not be _hard_ science). I tend to lean towards entertaining documentaries, movies loosely based on true events (we've done October Skies a couple of times) or even science fiction (I've been giving some thought to The Day the Earth Stood Still which could lead to some political discussions in the Q&A after).
Suggestions?
Clear skies!
