    RIP Yvette Mimieux

    https://variety.com/2022/film/news/y...ne-1235156675/

    She was in one of the most underrated sci-fi films ever: Disney's The Black Hole (1979) In the late 70s and early 80s Disney made a number of movies geared towards a more mature audience, films that were "darker" than their usual output, the most notable of which were the aforementioned and 1981's Dragonslayer & 1982's Tron. Even the animated 1985 The Black Cauldron had this "darker" tone.

    You sure she was in Tron?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    No, she was not in that one, but in Disney's The Black Hole. I was just commenting that Disney in those times liked to make many movies with a more adult audience in mind.

    I always liked that one, its creepy atmosphere and music, I love this "gone dark" period of Disney's productions.
