It's been a while since I've done a #192025 update. These are the slots I've filled, in the past few months. I've completed 75 of the 106 prompts!

#TuesdayTunes when American Graffiti came out it was some young people‘s first exposure to 50s & early 60s music .The film had bit parts for the then not well known Harrison Ford & Suzanne Summers. What stands out from the Big Chill, Rolling Stones “You can‘t Always Get What You Want” could be considered a key song in the plot. Not uncommon in that era for a group to allow it in film but not the soundtrack. To garner sales for their album?
Spent my Saturday getting all my Halloween & fall decor out, including this new acquisition! His name is Stu because he‘s my favorite Ghost Face (the pumpkin is named Billy of course). Now settling down to put together a list of books I want to check out from the library next month for #hauntedshelf and team #skeletoncrew!
so-soMy husband & I finally finished I, Robot on our beach trip. He liked it better than I did, and we liked different things. I liked the stories with more action, like Liar, and he liked the ones with a lot of philosophy, like Evitable Conflict (which I thought was too long.) We started The Masquerades of Spring on our way back. I read How the White Trash Zombie Got Her Groove back (ebook) and listened to The Maidens on my #audiowalk.
pickCatching up on reviews.😬

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Can‘t wait to read more of Asimov‘s Robot series. It‘s more of a collection of short stories or even thought experiments. My favorite of them all was “Liar”. It didn‘t end up how I thought it was going to at first. The progression through the stories was nice, it kept them all connected. It definitely makes you think about the future of humanity and how it‘s interlinked with AI.

pick(1950) I don't know how many times I've read thi but the last time was about thirty years ago. I found the revisit delightful, with some surprises: I remember thinking "The Evitable Conflict" was a talky, weak way to end -- but this time it struck me as a spooky premonition of current conversations around AI and machine learning. At almost 75 years old, some creakiness is inevitable, so I'm pleased at how well it holds up for me.

A couple of questions if any one wants to discuss this month‘s #ClassicLSFBC pick! 🤖 If anyone wants to be removed or added, please let me know.
Question 2: Asimov gives us a fairly positive view of robots here. In contrast to what another sci-fi writer might have done. Given our own technological advances and fears of AI, is this comforting or is it overly optimistic?
