Titan AE and stuff

[source]

So, I'm re-watching this movie because someone on io9 mentioned it and I was like "oh that one was fun." It's not very good, really, but I just realized that 

a) this is the movie I saw on what I suppose was my first date ever, which was twelve years ago give or take a few weeks

b) Joss Whedon was one of the writers. 

Also it's the movie that introduced me to Cynthia von Buhler's rad old band Splashdown (actually I think it was her ex-husband's, but she was pretty involved?), which led to me getting into bands (or alt-cabaret acts?) like Rasputina and the Dresden Dolls (and therefore the most wonderful Amanda Palmer) and thereby developing really good taste in music that didn't necessarily depend on the latest recommendation from proto-hipster sites like early-days Pitchfork and Auralgasms or on my mother's extensive love for Janis and Joni (not that any of those were bad things by any means, but a healthy variation of influences was good for me).

So I guess I have a lot to thank it for and should just shut up and enjoy it instead of making fun of it on the internet. Plus, that late-90s, early-2000s animation style where everything looked like Cowboy Bebop was pretty rad.
