Ahh nice another obscure sci-fi fan. I tell everyone who will listen how great that movie is.

Oh man here I come to plug my favorite low budget or indy-ish sci-fi movies!

First, Coherence (2013). This movie was quite low budget but doesn’t feel like it because the story is so engaging. The hours I spent reading about this movie, reviewing timelines, etc after I watched it… It’s a great film and the discussions and theories about it are exactly the type of rabbit hole I love.

Resolution (2012) has a unique and interesting concept, but I mention it mostly because it is low budget and related to The Endless (2018) which is pushing the definition of low budget but is phenomenal. The story lines overlap and Resolution came out first, but I watched The Endless before I’d ever heard of Resolution and I think I prefer that watch order, honestly. Both are great films though and worth the watch if you’re interested in cosmic horror/sci-fi type stories.

It’s good to hear about people giving the industry a try! There is really so much career opportunity, and it’s not going anywhere. I’ve weather multiple recessions, housing crises, economic booms and downturns in this industry and it is just steady, because it is so essential. I hope more people consider it as a career because the field is suffering for lack of licensed professionals.

I’ll miss all the “spooky” communities, they are what brought me to Reddit in the first place way (way, way…) back in the day. Nosleep, creepy, aliens, thetruthishere, etc. There’s lots of them, of varying quality these days but I regularly enjoyed the discussions and theorizing over the years.

Shout out to unresolved mysteries, that was a long term favorite of mine. At its best it was a respectful and helpful community of true crime researchers working to bring attention to cases. I am truly fascinated in evaluations of cases of misadventure, as well.

I might miss the movie discussions most, though. I love nothing more than picking apart an interesting story and getting under the obvious themes. I would regularly go directly to the official movie discussion threads after watching something I enjoyed, then search posts about it as well. I hope to find others here with the same interest because I’m sure that is something that can continue in the fediverse.

I studied environmental science as a major and am working in hazardous waste site remediation, water and wastewater treatment, and dabble in assisting some civil engineering projects.

Hi everyone! I just arrived here from Reddit, and am looking forward to getting to know Beehaw’s communities. I think my discord bio described me best: geriatric millennial, entertainment junkie (books, shows, movies, news, gossip), nature enjoyer. I’m a member of the LGBTQIA community, involved in science fields by trade, and on a perpetual mission to learn new things. Happy to be here.
