#tercinema Um filme sobre viagem no tempo não recomendado: O Som do Trovão (2005).

Só esses 1m45s do video abaixo já são o suficiente. É melhor ficar com o conto original do Ray Bradbury!

A Sound of Thunder (2005, EUA. 110min. Ação, Aventura, Scifi, Suspense. :class12: Direção Peter Hyams)

📰 2055. Um novo esporte é uma febre entre ricos executivos: viajar no tempo para caçar dinossauros. Trata-se de um esporte caro, que envolve milhões e que possui uma regra básica: o passado jamais deve ser violado. Desta forma é proibido trazer do passado qualquer objeto ou animal, esteja ele vivo ou morto, já que isto pode gerar uma série de reações que modifique drasticamente o presente. Até que um acidente misterioso faz com que Travis Ryan, líder de um grupo, precise retornar ao passado para devolver a ordem das coisas ao seu lugar.

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury is a nostalgic, semi-autobiographical novel capturing the magic of childhood in 1928 Illinois. Unlike his sci-fi works, it's a lyrical meditation on life, death, and memory. Though beloved, it never won major awards, but its poetic style and warmth make it a timeless classic of American literature

"No front porches. My uncle says there used to be front porches. And people sat there sometimes at night, talking when they wanted to talk, rocking, and not talking when they didn't want to talk. Sometimes they just sat there and thought about things, turned things over. My uncle says the architects got rid of the front porches because they didn't look well. But my uncle says that was merely rationalizing it; the real reason, hidden underneath, might be they didn't want people sitting like that, doing nothing, rocking, talking; that was the wrong KIND of social life. People talked too much. And they had time to think. So they ran off with the porches."

I’m delighted to be leading a special #Halloween-themed seminar tonight for undergraduate students on the brilliant “Usher II” by #RayBradbury.

“Garrett," said Stendahl, "do you know why I've done this to you? Because you burned Mr. Poe's books without really reading them. You took other people's advice that they needed burning. Otherwise you'd have realized what I was going to do to you when we came down here a moment ago. Ignorance is fatal, Mr. Garrett.”

Here is a delicious reading of #UsherII by #LeonardNimoy:

Beautiful, sweeping, small town American horror centered around our fear of mortality and personal unease.

Watching a long vid on YouTube collecting the1980 tv miniseries of Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles".

The comments below it are mainly positive but I always hated the pacing & storytelling decisions of the tv series.
(I hadn't read any of the chronicles at the time. However, I liked the ideas in the tv series enough to eventually read them in the 90's. There have been adaptions in comics and audio/radio format, too.)

It's still a hard slog (I'm over halfway through four & a half hours) as even its contemporary programmes were better paced. 70's era tv sci-fi suffered from wanting to mimic the liminality of Kubrick's 2001 and there were pretentions on how serious drama & acting should work with un-neccessarily long pauses that really never added dramatic tension.

Anyway, just got to the first actually good scene where a catholic-romanesque priest encounters Jesus in a church bleeding from stigmata but this Jesus is actually a martian with chameleonic ability. The priest is 'psychically projecting' a desire to meet Jesus "in person" but in doing so is killing the martian. Hm? Religious people destroying their own religions, maybe? Being prepared to destroy anything and anyone in order to live out a fantasy?

Normally, I'd put a #spoiler like this behind a content warning but if you haven't read or seen the Martian Chronicles by now then that's your own look out, mate! 🤨
