I'm going to have to throw Starship Troopers into the mix. Its portrayal of Earth as a globally facisit society (particularly in light of recent world events) is downright eerie.
Eh. I think it's portrayal of Earth as a globally fascist society was shallow at best. To me, Starship Troopers has no substance. It's pretty and fun, but incredibly stupid and shallow.
Besides, I can't accept a portrayal of a fascist society as deep and thoughtful if it's also clearly in favor of said society and ultra-militant machismo, as that movie seemed to be to me.
Plan 9 is thoughtful?
Who knew?
now I want to rent Ed Wood. Heee.
Close Encounters?
The relationship between music and computers and they both can bring us all togther??
Killer Klowns from Outer Space!!!
When I first heard that Lucas was calling the movie Attack of the Clones my mind immedietaly went to that movie and I could only think of AotC as Attack of the Killer klones.
Besides, I can't accept a portrayal of a fascist society as deep and thoughtful if it's also clearly in favor of said society and ultra-militant machismo, as that movie seemed to be to me.
I have to say that I think ST is anti-fascist society. What finally pushed me to that conclusion? Dougie Howser dressed as a Nazi.
Oh that was another good one, erika.
No mention of the Nick Roeg version of The Man Who Fell To Earth
SMACKS OWN FOREHEAD
Talk about intellectual sci-fi. If P-C thinks Brazil is obtuse...
eta I should make clear I LOVE The Man Who Fell to Earth.
I liked it a lot and science fiction...I don't know. Despite my early start at being a Star Wars geek, I find it hard to connect with sometimes.
So, Catwoman.
It's really bad. Really really bad.
