Hey all - blogging from Kalamazoo where I'm here for movie night.
Today's adventure: the apparently-becoming-culturally-significant-in-moviedom Detroit-set Robocop.
A quick glance at IMDb tells me something remarkable that keeps showing up: Twin Peaks stars in other things! Miguel Ferrer (FBI Agent Albert), Ray Wise (Leland Palmer), and Dan O'Herlihy (Andrew Packard). Ilooked it up because I didn't even know who starred in this movie. It's amazing that a movie that has been so much in the consciousness of people around me could have passed by me without my knowing anything about. And so, here we go!
This fully automated man seems like a terrible idea.
Oh, well that man that was just gunned down all to hell in a "trial" proves my point.
Aw man, she just had to look, didn't she? That's why she got punched off the balcony.
It was kind of stupid to have gone in there after them. Two against, what, six? With huge guns? I think you failed math. Cause I did this problem, and I got the same solution as them.
Looks like we're setting ourselves up for a really nice and neat revenge fantasy.
I love Miguel Ferrer.
I see, he does that twirling thing still, so he must have retained some aspect of his personality and now his old partner knows who RoboCop is.
WHAT IS DIRECTIVE NUMBER 4? Duh duh duuuuh.
Apparently RoboCop was directed by the same man who did Showgirls. Guess which movie is better.
Mechanized warfare? Sure, why not?
Those huge guns are obviously compensating for something...
And the movie's surprise ending: RoboCop becomes a poet and accidentally electrocutes himself while his original murderers rule the world.
That laugh is sooo annoying.
Nice ending. Totally predictable, but you gotta love when a movie doesn't drag it out for half an hour afterward.
Pretty great film overall, thoroughly enjoyable.
Score: 8/10
