I'm glad someone else finally noticed.

Runaway, you may remember this silly 80s sci-fi with Tom Selleck, Kirstie Alley, and none other than Gene Simmons as the villain. This was the first time I watched it as an adult and the first time I noticed that the whole premise of the movie (and even parts of the soundtrack) are like someone played a game of Chinese whispers with Blade Runner as the message. And no matter how stupid the film and plot are, its boxy piece of crap robots were actually a surprisingly accurate vision of the future. Think robot mowers, drones, and self-driving cars instead of Blade Runner's androids.

 

The bank heist scene is almost as good as the Malcolm bank heist scene from 1986. Tom Selleck plays a good goodie don't he?

new for the list:

They clearly know what they're doing, too

"When the music started playing i almost felt like crying . So much nostalgia , I love the fact that they didn't show much in the trailer . Emma Watson is the perfect lady for the role . Can't freaking wait !"

"Me too ! I really did feel like crying. It reminds me of being a kid and that music with this trailer was just so beautifully haunting ♡"

Was it a jewellery shop heist scene? My memory is hazy sometimes.

[Schlitze]

These teaser trailers are annoying as fuck, they have literally no footage to show. Because they haven't even filmed it yet! Go and make the film instead of wasting time teasing people and we will see you in a year when you have something to show. FUCK!!!

March 2017 ffs.

 

Belle is my fav Disney princess and Emma Watson is unworthy.

[usagi]

^ exactly what I said. Belle is a shapely beauty with soft features, and Emma Watson is a pointy-faced shrew.

No jewelry heist either in Runaway but I had a look through Selleck's filmography and I guess you're thinking of Lassiter (which I haven't seen by the way).

[Trilobot]

I watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time.

 

My life will NEVER be the same again. Not really sure if it's for better or worse, but I'm ok with that.

They are developing The Little Mermaid as live action now, gotta love those public domain IPs. How Disney built his empire.

dear supreme being, please don't let them fuck up this adaptation.

I wouldn't hold my breath with Robert Rodriguez directing. I wonder what Cameron's version would have looked like.

The Nice Guys. 5/10

 

Pretty mediocre mainstream buddy cop comedy. A couple decent laughs but a lot of awkward weird laughter in the theater during disturbing violent bits. Did a few callbacks to jokes that weren't even that funny to begin with. Tone was a little weird. Also almost no advertising for the most important character in the film, Ryan Goslings daughter. Not really sure if the movie knew what it was trying to be.

Alita: Battle Angel will be released on July 20, 2018. I've been waiting to see this movie for almost 15 years now. Yeah it better be good. From what I remember, Cameron had all the concept art done, so I'm guessing with him producing, Rodriguez might be going that direction. They were also throwing around Harrison Ford's name as the Professor back in the day, who knows who will play that role now.
