It's full of posh kids 🤣 Where's the scousers?

This is boss. The road signs!! A yellow Triumph Dolomite!!

I wonder if the Scouse as a foreign language still exists as a course at Liverpool Uni ? Pity if it ceased because there are a lot of native speakers in Liverpool. I learned Scouse at an early age - it comes in very handy when travelling abroad as foreigners only understand English and can be mocked mercilessly without any blowback.

Brilliant time shot of the old city ! Loved watching this ❤

Is there any of Frank Herbert’s writings that are part of the collection?

I attended Liverpool University for a year from 1979 to late ’80 so almost contemporaneous with this film. I was deeply unhappy there and dropped out. Probably my own poor choices and limitations rather than the university to blame, but not completely. The attitudes of a few lecturers and sadly some of the students were questionable, and would rightly be considered unacceptable now. My perspective is perhaps a bit different in that I’m a (now exiled) scouser and at the time was living on one of the outlying council estates where I grew up and commuting in, rather different to what’s shown here which unfortunately I didn’t really connect with. Whilst I don’t think the film is completely inaccurate, it understandably presents a quite idealised view. It’s interesting we don’t hear a single Liverpool accent during the entire film, and for context, it was made the same year as the Toxteth riots… It’s a fascinating watch however, hauntingly familiar even after the passage of over 40 years, and in spite of it all, I’d go back in a heartbeat if I could take the wisdom of age with me. ‘Youth’s a stuff will not endure.’

😂 just a few years before I arrived 😂

fix the sound, dude

My wonderful dad at age 22 😍

This brings back some memories.

'334' remains one of my favorite novels, science fiction or otherwise. Disch's vision is pessimistic, postulating a future of unrestrainable social entropy, but his rich sense of the humanity of his characters mitigates the bleakness somewhat, showing the author's faith in the recurrent human comedy that will remain compelling however circumscribed and stifling the surrounding stage becomes.

Finished the book over the weekend. I find it quite similar to Ubik which is one of my most favorite work of his.

What do you think happened at the end?
