Sunshine!
It's a lovely, sun-shiny day, and I've just had lunch on the grass outside. Delightful. A better excuse for a Bounty ice-cream bar simply doesn't exist. Mmmmm...
We went to see 300 the other day, and Sunshine was one of the featured films in the trailers. It does look pretty interesting - and you know what? They actually consulted an astromer about it. Of course, they are kind of handwaving the whole issue of the spacecraft melting somewhere around the corona, but at least they've made an effort. I like that, in a film. As for 300 itself... well, it was fun, ridiculous and had more airbrushed pecs and cosmetically enhanced nipples than you can shake a graphic novel at. But hey, we'd expect nothing else from a Frank Miller adaption.
I nearly forgot what it was I was going to mention about Sunshine. They do see to be drawing on a few classic texts, and it'll be interesting to see how much is original, and how much can be traced back to things like Sundiver, The Cold Equations and others.
