This evening's viewing: Vincent Price, Robert (Count Yorga) Quarry, inept policemen, clockwork snakes, elaborate deaths in the desert & hidden Egyptian tombs, in a revisit to the delightfully daft Dr Phibes Rises Again.

For Some Reason, This Is Spinal Tap 2 is Now In Production
For better or worse, it's really happening. The post For Some Reason, This Is Spinal Tap 2
Wonderful to revisit Blade Runner on the big screen again this evening, where it really belongs. Took chum along who had never seen it before. Those forty year old visuals are still stunning, the soundtrack by Vangelis iconic.
Silent Running might be one of the most depressing sci-fi's I've ever watched.
I can see how in the 70s it probably was distant enough to feel like a fantastical drama, and the idea of earth losing its ecosystems with the last remnants being kept alive in outer-space domes was an unrealistic idea, but today it feels just way too current.
Bruce Dern is absolutely amazing, but omg this movie just gets more and more sad until it ends as bleakly as it begun
I am not sure Wizards was the movie to follow up Silent Running with.
Now I'm just more depressed.
I did know about Wizards of course, but I didn't realise just how heavily it mirrors real life events. Should have assumed knowing Bakshi's history I guess, but I know his work from Spicy City most of all, and that isn't as on the nose with its world building
There has to be some robot movies that aren't about the world dying/man's disregard for life 🤖
I am on a mission to watch all the movies containing robots I haven't seen (so more obscure stuff than matrix, AI, I robot, ghost in the shell, terminator etc)
I can’t think of a better analogy to 2023 and what lies ahead than this scene for America and the world than an emergency core shutdown at a nuclear power plant
