#SilentRunning
#SilentRunning (1972) is a haunting sci-fi gem! #BruceDern delivers a deeply moving performance as a botanist fighting to save Earth’s last forests among the stars. Beautifully filmed, and more relevant than ever. A bittersweet classic about humanity and nature. #SciFi #nowwatching

I saw this as a kid, maybe it helped create who I am.

Basically, a fleet of spaceships trying to protect the last specimens of forest in domes in space... But THEN...

Lowell and Norman Bates have a few things in common. A-OK

I guess it would be ironic if he murdered these 3 jerks and used them as compost to stop the biosphere pods from being destroyed. #SilentRunning #TCMParty

I'm gonna spend the whole movie fruitlessly (pun) waiting for the Mike + the Mechanics song. #SilentRunning #TCM #TCMParty

Really impressive that Douglas Trumbull and his fellow filmmakers got so much out of a small $1,350,000 budget. The visual effects alone are so impressive.

"Silent Running" always really gets me. The concept seemed so completely unlikely closer to when it came out. But now, I sometimes wonder with administrations like Reagan and Trump so hell bent on killing off as much of God's Creation as possible.

#SilentRunning is a bit too on the nose tonight given the current situation. It will haunt you. I think I've ever gotten over that final image. Too painful, so I'm going to call it a night.
BTW: Nice Joan Baez theme song too.

Okay, now I'm glad I have to go to bed. This has been a really depressing three and a half hours...good, but DAMN. #TCMParty #TheDayTheEarthCaughtFire #SilentRunning

#SilentRunning giving us gonk droids five years before Star Wars did is so far behind the downer vibe of the movie itself it's not even on radar. #TCMParty

Silent Running (Douglas Trumbull, 1972). A genuinely strange sci-fi drama about a gardener on a spaceship who’s ordered to destroy his creations. Bruce Dern makes for an odd hero. Lots of interesting ideas, but overall the film seems awkwardly realised. Joan Baez is on the soundtrack. #SilentRunning

Theodore Roosevelt once said republics rise, flourish, and fall because their citizens turn the government into a tool primarily to benefit one class instead of benefiting the people as a whole, and I think about what he said quite a lot.
