Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Just looking for some recommendations because I'm in a sci fi mood. And btw, my favorite sci fi film is Planet of the Apes (original).

Don't sleep on Sunshine!

Also yeah Rocky Horror has a strange storyline so it could technically be classified as a sci-fi. It's... odd. I love it. Best seen with strangers in a theater during Halloween though. There might be a showing near you. There's usually at least one going on for it. Encouraged to throw shit at the screen and yell at the cast. It's fantastic. Also tell me this song isn't a fucking banger. Imagine the whole theater singing along to that. It's a trip and I highly recommend trying to see it that way for your first time. If you tell anyone at one of those viewings you're a RHPS Virgin you'll get treated really well and they'll be gung ho to get you in on the fun.

I'll find a group here in PHX that watches it and ask to join them :) Can't wait to see it

If you don't enjoy it then I will be truly and genuinely surprised. Especially in that fashion. It's not a 'good' movie by any means but it's a great movie. It's a disaster and I wouldn't change a thing.

It sounds like my kind of experience :D
