@astralcomputing@[email protected] @books @scifi @Scifiart @sciencefiction Vonnegut novels were required high school reading so it was a fun surprise at that age to see him in the movie Back to School (Rodney Dangerfield etc.) in 1986. It was a humorous little bit that maybe some people didn’t get. That and Oingo Boingo brought extra cool to that film.
