Re-watching LOGAN'S RUN

I remember reading the William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson paperback in the Pop Culture section at the front of the ILIF library. I have vague recollections of finally watching the movie on the family b+w television set in the kitchen. Some years later I saw it in Toronto on a colour TV set. I can still remember Jay Scott saying, "The filmmakers had two problems: a futuristic look, and getting Farrah Fawcett to act. They solved the first problem by shooting inside brand-new shopping malls in Dallas. The second one, well..."

It seems Logan 5 is an incel.

I have a friend who says he encountered Michael Yorke. Apparently Yorke's voice really carried. I'm sure this quality served Yorke well in the Austin Powers movies. 

Apparently Logan's Run was a television series that ran briefly in the '70s. I don't know anything about that, of course, but it was a big deal to Scholastic Books. 

Re-watching NATURAL BORN KILLERS

I watched the other Oliver Stone movies, why not this one, too? 

Re-watching THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE

Not just the best LEGO movie but the best Batman movie. 

This viewing's LOL Moment -- when Batman sings, "'cos I'm a billionaire!"

"Quick! Stop him before he starts singing!"

And I'm a pushover for a woman's exposed shoulders, plastic or otherwise: 

Re-watching MANDY

The horror of HP Lovecraft, the Prog Rock of Jóhann Jóhannsson and the acting of Nicolas Cage? I am so there!

Watching PAINKILLER and UNTOLD: JOHNNY FOOTBALL

Watching THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS

Why, that's my morning routine!

The movie is very explication-heavy, but that's a good thing. The Matrix: Resurrections is almost as excellent as The Matrix: Reloaded (the second, and best, of The Matrix movies. I was grateful for the first only because it brought The Matrix: Reloaded around. I can still recall driving out with my brother to see Reloaded in the theatre). 

Link: This is the Roger Ebert review of The Matrix: Reloaded. 

The Argument

When Sider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse first appeared the argument was, " Just think how much better it would be if it was Live Action."

But Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse can't get any better. 

And it is animated.
