THEMES: ICE, WATER

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 03:36 (twenty years ago)

AN ALL TOO BELIEVABLE FORECAST OF OUR FUTURE

I suppose Robert Urich *did* keep acting.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 03:39 (twenty years ago)

ice pirates is like 'what if blade runner was political?'

― j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 03:42 (twenty years ago)

the movie's 'icy cool'

DAMMIT, Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, was from 1983! Off by only one year!

It had Peter Strauss! Molly Ringwald! Ernie Hudson! Michael Ironside!

Was in 3D!

(ice pirates was from 1984, btw)

i was definitely very interested in spacehunter.

Best movie ever, 11 February 2005

Author: gjpizzo04 from United States

This has to be the best movie of all time. Any future in which the properties of water change to become flammable is a future i can look forward too. Special visual and sound effects which compare to the likes of Space Invaders from Atari. However, I think the best was costume design of the monsters. It brings back memories of childhood from when my parents took me to see Dinosaurs Alive at the zoo. Reb Brown should win an academy award for his role as YOR. Only he can pull of such a great screenplay with classic lines like "Damn Talking Box". I can only hope that one day they make a sequel to this movie. I believe that it will be directed by this new and up coming star Ed V.

Also, the box art from DVD reissues ain't got nuthin' on the originals

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 03:58 (twenty years ago)

it was a heavy year for all of us.

especially if you had HBO and got to watch all these flicks like six times a day growing up.

― kingfish ubermensch dishwasher sundae (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 04:02 (twenty years ago)

funny coincidence happened tonight. my friend ellison stopped by to hang out for a few beers and watch a movie. first thing he mentioned to me when i asked what he felt like seeing was "you know, i've never seen Blade Runner all the way through, let's watch that." and we did. goddamn i love this movie.

LET THE D&D PARANOIA BEGIN!

― LOL Thomas (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 04:34 (twenty years ago)

PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED! for a film from the early eighties that means tittays and severed heads!

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 04:34 (twenty years ago)

+ everything has blasters coming out of it!

The B-52 appears to be disappointingly blast-free...

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 04:40 (twenty years ago)

Ah, Megaforce. With Persis Khambatta!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 04:44 (twenty years ago)

see the explosion just below that vehicle on the right? the B-52 dropped a BOMB

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 04:45 (twenty years ago)

I once broke up with a girl because she didn't understand the dove.

douchebag says what?

― nervous.gif (eman), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 04:45 (twenty years ago)

omg, gear, that's what i was just about to say!

also: just watched first 5 minutes of blade runner. shivers. (but now listening to friend on radio trying to pronounce name of an avarus song. brilliant.)

― DEEDS NOT WORDS (vahid), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 05:04 (twenty years ago)

are you man enough for a P.O. Box?

― the enduring pueblo (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 05:04 (twenty years ago)

The skin coloured boilersuit makes it look like he is naked, and his ass is on the front. :/

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 05:14 (twenty years ago)

my life is complete

Vahid, I love you.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 05:18 (twenty years ago)

Trayce, don't ruin fun! Ass-crotch will blast you! + he has computer-pack on chest, which counts for something. something good.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 05:22 (twenty years ago)

AND THE MOVIE HAD FLYING MOTORCYCLES

also, as some of you may know, the blown-dried hero up there is also "Brad" from Rocky Horror Picture Show

― kingfish ubermensch dishwasher sundae (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 05:31 (twenty years ago)

a proper review here

and thank god we're not talking about 1986, when we'd have to deal with this horror

― kingfish ubermensch dishwasher sundae (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 05:35 (twenty years ago)

EVERYTHING BLASTS

― gbx (skowly), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 05:51 (twenty years ago)

not to detract anymore from the importance of Blade Runner, which is very important, but:

ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH FOR GOLDEN DUNEBUGGY??

Funny you should mention that... The "Megaforce" golden dune buggy has been parked in front of a Newport Beach surplus store on PCH. I used to drive past it every morning on my way to work. It's directly in the center of this Googlemap

― LOL Thomas (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 06:05 (twenty years ago)

SPEAK N SPELL ON CHEST, NOT WORDS

OK, here's a ground level picture

And meantime I just finished my BR rewatch. More tomorrow.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 06:11 (twenty years ago)

I tried to watch it! Got distracted by internet thread on BR instead. OH TEH IRONITRON. EVERYTHING BLASTS.

-- nervous.gif (ï¿...), April 18th, 2006 12:45 AM. (eman) (later)

If Kenan does it, you call him a douchebag, but if Seinfeld did it, it would be a "classic episode."

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 09:28 (twenty years ago)

that's a bit unfair

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 10:15 (twenty years ago)

I suspect it was a serendipitous event, with expert use of tech artists and a literate script, in the career of a hack.

yeah cos this is the shit that matters, it's not about good films, it's about whether this or that director is or is not a 'hack'.

― 25 yr old slacker cokehead (Enrique), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 10:25 (twenty years ago)

I made my dad take me to see blade runner when it came out and i was blown away. when i got back to school i couldn't shut up about it and i was surprised to find that NOBODY there had seen it and didn't know what i was talking about. i couldn't talk about it with anyone until i met my best friend lance a couple of years later. he was a fanatic. i could have sworn that i had the blade runner comic before i actually saw the movie, but maybe i bought it after the fact. i couldn't get enough of it. (And I was already a Hauer fan cuz my dad had dragged ME to nighthawks a year before blade runner came out. my dad and i were both very disappointed by the osterman weekend)
