Until the corporate lawyers come down on it like a ton of bricks, here is a great You Tube video marrying Galactica clips with the Beasties’ hit Sabotage.
Secondly, the cyberspace itself has obviously moved on several generations from the original and looks cool too, especially the hot chicks and light cycles.
Having watched the original film only recently, one thing this doesn’t have is the sense of other worldliness that the first film possessed. That could be down to the new-look and also the soundtrack, which was very much 1980s synthesiser back then and helped to take you away from the ‘real’ world.
And I want David Warner back for at least one scene where he can shout ‘bring in the logic probe!’
In any case, with the film not due out until December, the film’s creators have plenty of time to polish their MCPs between now and then.
CONNECTED popped into my reader from IO9 and I have been obsessed with it since then.
A short film made by Jens Raunkjær Christensen & Jonas Drotner Mouritsen, it is (according to the blurb) a story about survival and greed with a post apocalyptic wasteland as its backdrop.
Survivors of an unknown disaster shuffle through a desolate landscape, as it quickly becomes clear that not everybody has the strength to survive.
HERE’s the Iron Man 2 trailer which was broadcast on Oscar night in America, on the Jimmy Kimmel show. Stand by for awesome!
I mean wow! Really wow!
Despite what must have been tons more pressure compared to making the first film – and helming a multi-million dollar action blockbuster is never a walk in the park – Jon Favreau and co look to have pulled it off.
I loved the line about making god bleed, and the suitcase armour. The battle scene – only glimpsed before – between Iron Man, War Machine and the rip off armour suits looks jaw dropping too.
But through it all, Robert Downey Jnr’s charisma comes shining through like an arc reactor on overdrive.
DO YOU remember when Aliens and Predators were movie monsters to be feared, not pointed at and the butt of jokes?
It’s difficult I know, but they were scary and deadly once, and terrifying, not ham fisted, unconvincing and boring.
It’s that fear which inspired graphic designer Stephen Taubman to create the following fantastic graphic, outlining what would happen in an AvP battle (presumably one with a good director and decent production values)
