I've loved Karen Gillan since I first saw her on Doctor Who, and damn if she doesn't seem to age! She does a fantastic job as everything from angry, murderous Nebula to this everywoman loser who works her butt off so that some weird alien office drone can get a meh idea out into the world. This would normally be one of these shorts that I would go "huh" at, but she made all the difference, and now I'm wondering what happened next in her life.

[@magnusdarkhan974]

She's just another actress. Let's not get all fandom stupid over another person with boobs.

[@Kayjee17]

@@ChiliCheeseD0g I have boobs too, so what? I'm saying that a great actor can take a so-so script and elevate it to the next level just on the strength of their acting. She was a decent actor back when she was in Doctor Who and showed flashes of brilliance, but she's improved since by being in other roles. Currently, I would say she's a great actor, but she still has some work to do in order to live up to those flashes of brilliance I've seen in her.

[@joshdeboer8833]

She must've been having a really bad day when I met her because she was short and nasty at FanExpo Canada Toronto. I adored her in everything she was in, but ever since I have a hard time feeling for her. I had a brain haemorrhage and my boyfriend and I paid to meet her and her temperament was just totally and completely off. I was just recovering at the time... I'm sure she's a sweetheart. Like I said, she probably was just having an off day... but it really put me off.

[@occamsrayzor]

That was weird but oddly compelling, thanks to the great performances and direction. Props to Karen Gillan for still doing small independent films, not to mention Karan Soni (Dopinder - Deadpool) and David Dastmalchian, who has had a number of solid performances and roles in both the MCU and DCEU, and other movies.

[@wlawrence7794]

Enjoyed the heck out of it. I think the unsung hero in this production was Jon Bass. His delivery was so perfect. That scene where he's describing the billboard call was by far the funniest part. Seriously though, the whole thing was so fun.

Amazing. Gillan, Bass, Bell, Soni, and Dastmalchian are wonderful. Script by Nick Kocher is hilarious (as expected!) Directing by Moss is on point. Huge shout out to the crew as well to make this wonderful short story. Loved it.

[@STho205]

Bass reminds me of Curtis Armstrong 40 years ago. Same style of both the doofus and the annoyed supervisor. The whole cast was great.

As a 65yr. old who's a retired scientist (like that could happen - it's a way of thinking), and has been a sci-fi maniac since my Mom bought me, "Miss Marple Goes to the Moon" when I was 8yrs.and as a story teller and writer myself I just gotta say this thing sparkles! I will watch this more than once.

[@michaelholloway2295]

So we're primed to see her and that hair as Amy Pond, and the character acts just like Amy Pond, and I absolutely love it. We've seen Gillan in enough stuff to know that she doesn't have to do Amy Pond, but I feel she did it again for the fans. Thanks.

[@toasega]

The most unbelievable part of ALL of this (great short film, btw), was that two years is considered the LONGEST period of time that a person hasn't acted on an idea. And, once again, Dust hosts a short film that I would watch an entire series of.

[@blusafe1]

Two years was longest period of the aliens' inception-type ideas.

[@remaincalm2]

Tom is right. It's the chase that's the exciting part to be doing. Once you catch what you were chasing it will never be the same again. This is the message that Chloe was assigned to teach the world. 🙂

[@Mereologist]

Nonsense. If the message were true, there would have been no point in enacting the plot of this short, which required her to reach the destination instead of just screwing around for years. In fact, the moral is that everything she said was wrong. Or maybe the moral is that some people have no idea what they're talking about.

[@rodschmidt8952]

Once the world is taught this message... then what?

[@rodschmidt8952]

@@Mereologist unless "the chase" and cartoon production are two different categories

[@appliedfacts]

If that is the message, then is it better to not actually achieve things because the happiness ends? Thats what Jerry was saying in the cartoon. But no, there is joy to be found in the chase AND in the achievement if you make worthwhile goals. Disappointment comes from both failure to achieve and in achieving blase' goals. Still, its better to achieve blase' goals than to achieve nothing at all. 🤣🤣

[@AmikaofMan]

Sounds sorta like a crack addict. Once you catch what you were chasing (the high), it will never be the same again....

I'd happily watch Karen Gillan do laundry, so sad girl holding food and cough syrup abuse is phenomenal. I really felt like she was sad, the beets were sad, and for the first time in history even pizza was sad. Beets are always generally sad and bring down everyone in the room with their beet vibes, but I digress. The worst part of all of this was that sad girls holding food wasn't a real website and now my dreams of seeing high quality still images of Karen with beets and/or pizza may never happen.

@Nickkocher - I liked the way this shows the diametrically opposed ideas of: 1) It's not the destination, it's the journey, and 2) It's important to finish things. I'm not sure if the friction between these two concepts were intended - but it just struck me as amusing. And SO true. Thanks for a great story.
