and poltergeist 3 surely owes a little to blade runner?

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Monday, 17 April 2006 23:02 (eighteen years ago) link

poltergeist 3 = more than a little john carpenter + cronenberg, too.

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 17 April 2006 23:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I just realized, 1982 was a hell of a year for genre movies... Blade Runner, The Thing, Poltergeist, Tron, The Road Warrior

Krull...er, wait.

Conan the Barbarian!

Ha! I wish I could have that movie permanently removed from my memory

― LOL Thomas (Chris Barrus), Monday, 17 April 2006 23:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Conan the Barbarian!

1981, I think.

I heard that LEGEND was meant to be interpreted as a dream-vision Deckard was having right before his replicant body shorted out, hence the unicorns. Actually no I just made that up.

y'know, tied into the whole Spielberg thing upthread: I wasn't a big fan of Minority Report for various reasons, yet I have seen it twice anyway, and my favourite bit remains the whole GETTING NEW EYEBALLS part. Why? It seems so obvious now that it's b/c it's pretty freakin' Bladerunneresque.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 01:19 (eighteen years ago) link

also maybe because peter stormare and caroline lagerfelt totally kicked ass in that scene.

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 01:33 (eighteen years ago) link

yes, it's the best scene!

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)

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.

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.

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.
