"We Can Remember...." out there. One by Keir Dullea,
YSI?

This could be the title of a "Women are From Venus" style relationship advice book.
I keep wanting to read this, but I'll just roffle at your comment for now.
I really can't remember Total Recall. I know I watched it, but I just have any... well recollection. The same with RoboCop. I vaguely remember it, hence why I know I watched it, but specific scenes or storylines remain a mystery. :-( I really should buy both on DVD. I've been wanting to do this for ages, but haven't so far.

I'll leave Marmot and/or shakey to handle this
There are a few things I thought to say but decided against all of them.

wuss.
Anyway, there's an audiobook of Keir Dullea reading "Minority Report and other stories" floating around on the torrent networks. It's pretty good.

Colin Farrell’s comeback blockbuster, the remake of 1990 flick Total Recall, will have a reported budget of $200 million, reports The Toronto Star.
The flick will shoot in Toronto from March, with Underworld and Die Hard 4 helmer Len Wiseman calling the shots. Farrell bagged the part after other actors, Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy were also mooted for the lead. Farrell was apparently Wiseman’s choice all along, and the studio eventually offered the Dubliner the part a couple of months ago.
That is a huge budget, even by blockbuster standards. Wiseman is a capable director, but he never really showed what he could do with the last Die Hard. Apparently, according to some reports anyway, Bruce Willis ran that set. Farrell has been doing brilliant work for the past few years, hopefully this continues the trend.

Think my weirdest one was recognising somebody I was at school with in the dole office from behind. Must have been somewhere between 5 + 8 years after I was at school with them.Must have been the way they walked or something.

I must admit that Total Recall's absence from the respective homes of Armageddon and Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie pretty much invalidates its status as a classic. Well played, my friend. Well played, indeed.

i'm just worried about how quickly the gap is closing in terms of time lag between originals and remakes, at this rate the first Harry Potter remake will be 2015

Well, the first Harry Potter is more than a decade old. You don't expect kids today to sit through some draggy old person's movie that isn't in 3-D, do you?

i think the basic plot is pretty hard to make a bad movie out of
seems like they wanted to set this in the blade runner universe, visually speaking, almost make it a companion piece or something
that said, when are we going to get to move on from this greenish dusky matrix style late 90s lighting? ever?
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 10:59 (twelve years ago) link
greenish? teal + orange still hott in 2012 was my impression.
― God arrives for the apocalypse, having been traveling at the speed of (ledge), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 11:00 (twelve years ago) link
also still hott in 2012: unarmed guy roundhouse-kicking out half a dozen trigger happy flak jacketed troops with drawn sidearms.
― God arrives for the apocalypse, having been traveling at the speed of (ledge), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 11:06 (twelve years ago) link
no that's true, greenish giving way to touches of teal and orange, but still the whole thing reeks of a certain swathe of "gritty" video games, the vast majority of which even now have never really escaped this very specific immaculately dingy aesthetic

like, i sort of liked it in the original that rekall basically looked like a real estate agency (safe, inoffensive, cheerful, maybe even republican) rather than what we have here which is what, some kind of desaturated holistic loading dock

Funny, I just re-watched the old one not long ago. This looks totally useless. I like Colin Farrell a lot, but I don't like the deadly Wiseman/Beckensale team, particularly the useless former. Granted, it's a trailer, but it plays like a video game cut scene.

although it was slightly unclear as to where the third tit was, I kept thinking it might have been where her belly button should be

I can’t believe anyone hates the original movie in this thread. One of the greatest movies ever. I like in the ebert review how he gets at Arnold’s acting being central to its appeal

My biggest criticism is that the mutant village subplot doesn't tie into the rest of the movie. It's a holdover from the Cronenberg project. It ended up being an excuse to have the triboobed lady.
