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! patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
