SF Roots

Lately, I am into exploring formative influences. I'm going back to books, movies, comic books and music that blew my mind as a kid and teen to see if I can find out what their magic was and if I can bring that magic to my own work.

I have long-held fond memories of a low-budget Canadian SF show called The Starlost. I know it was cheesy, but images from it and the sense of fighting against certain doom that lay at the heart of the show's mythos has a lingering hold on me.



Well, I just bought it from eBay! A British DVD complilation that covers 10 of the 16 episodes shot. [livejournal.com profile] painglass, if I have it shipped to you, can you bring it to Toronto? It should make for poignant and probably comical viewing.

It stars Keir Dullea, Dave Bowman from 2001! His name is pronounced, 'Keer D'lay', apparently and Noël Coward once quipped about him, "Keir Dullea, gone tomorrow."
