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.
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
"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.
I can't even with these little robots...

In the grim future of Earth, Ditch Witch survives. Figures. #TCMParty #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
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
#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.

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
