Anyone dig OR 8?? Tom Selleck’s debut as a hanging stiff??

You're wrong about the slasher trope of "sin you die and virgins live." wasn't a part of Halloween. Debra Hill based the girls on normal teen behaviour. Have you even seen Halloween?

It seems like once you see behind the curtain and you understand how the mainstream media works, it’s impossible not to see and it’s shocking how often they engage in this type of “journalism”. I feel like this film should have opened up the eyes of older generations enough that a change would have been called for.

Lordy Lordy, this movie was such a slow, boring drag. I saw this and Outland at a double feature and this was so bad that it made me misremember Outland as some epic.

There’s just not enough story in the existing film to justify a 4hr version.

The Fog was that movie you want so desperately to see when you are far too young to see it and it becomes almost mythological. In those days, you assured movies just disappeared after they left theaters until a crappy version appeared on tv two years later, so not being able to see something you really want was devastating. Anyway, years would pass and the video stores came to be and I finally got to see it and I liked it up until Stevie says her closing monologue… and then the final scene happened and cuts to black with a thick gory sound followed by that haunting theme and I fell in love with the film.

I have Looker on dvd.

Avoid OR 8

Read the book as well.

why have i never heard of this or looker???

what‘s the ambient music you‘re using for this video?

My mom, a film lover, exposed me to this movie at a young age and I’m grateful. It imparted in me a very specific narrative that sadly is so much more prescient than I could have ever expected. Regarding the power dynamic in relationships when both parties work, I can tell you firsthand as a working woman in 2024, nothing has changed. Men, no matter how much more or less they earn when compared to their female partner, expect a woman to still keep house and attend to all their partner’s needs. This is not reciprocated equally if work situations are reversed. Additionally, the approach to women’s health, when handled by men, is far too often counter to the patients’ actually conditions and needs.

Ah, that brutal 🪨 architecture ... treating all of humanity like disposable machines, just this side of West World or Logan's Run - how Cold War inspired, when one thinks about it. 🤔

Harvesting human organs to be sold on the black market to the highest bidder is not so far fetched. Geneviève Bujold gives a competent performance in a subpar thriller 😕

'Looker' is really good, for its time and all that but with ongoing resonance - good to hear it getting a little nudge at the end there. Good video as always, informed analytics and layer peeling.

You changed Susan's name to Catherine, ha ha - TBH she looks more like a Catherine. I loved the book as a kid, especially the thick medical jargon, because it made me feel smarter. Tbe movie is a nice, slow-burn thriller. Fun review!

Coma is a great Facility Film. The location really makes it, as you say.

Very based review. I hope you didn’t fly too close to the sun by mentioning The Science in this.

Great review!

7:55 Rip Torn is so young!

The left today has now become the fascists' they were meant to fight.

I saw Looker at the theater; really bad. Runaway was disappointing. They both deserved better scripts.

I just remember the ad when she said, "they're putting people in.......cooooomas" hilarious

I'm here because of your appearance on movies with Lowres and Hans. Great video.

Definitely an underrated 70s thriller, something about the sterileness of everything just adds to the creepiness

just watched buffalo bill and the indians or sitting bulls history lesson and my altman rabbit hole has brought me here, i got a few movies i need to watch now. thanks for the video

Witness was a big hit and well received at the time! I was a teenager and a huge Harrison Ford fan. I think Witness was the first R rated movie I saw in a theater, but there was no way I was not going to go. If you didn't see a movie in the theater, you had to wait forever for it to be released on VHS so you could rent it, and my family didn't have cable!

Interesting review. Nice job. I haven’t thought about this movie in years. FYI….. Bujold was nominated for an Oscar for Anne of a Thousand Days in 1969, but she didn’t win (Maggie Smith did).

"Coma" was a fun movie. As a physician I can say that the institutional feel was very spot-on. As a filmgoer, I really appreciated the metallic chatterings of Jerry Goldsmith's dissonant and unsettling score, often used to great effect in other films such as "The Cassandra Crossing", "Alien" and "Star Trek-The Motion Picture." Crichton had a wonderful working relationship with the late Oscar-Winning composer, which included "The Great Train Robbery" and "Runaway". Goldsmith always understood the power of music in film included when its use was inappropriate, as in the final scene from "The Planet of The Apes".

you are brilliant! thank you

brilliant! thank you

What are some movies like this?

I have to agree. I don't know how true it is to the character Philip Marlowe, but Elliott Gould is so much fun to watch.

I just couldn't get into the new one after finding out that they age, race, and gender swapped a character. All just to have a sassy black jogger.

One of my favorite films. I watched it last night for the first time in decades and enjoyed it as much as I did in the '80s--maybe even more. This is an excellent summation of the film. Thanks for the great content.

I love this movie. I am one of the cult classic freaks about this movie. The music is the best of any horror/ghost movie. Something about a ghost story as a horror movie works for me.

Very enjoyable film but I do smile when seeing Rock, at 6’4” being rather tall for navigating a cramped submarine.

t's difficult to take in his opinions because he isn't dealing with obvious problems as he goes. It leads me to believe that he does not see the issues, and that in turn leads me to believe that he doesn't recognize the harm in pushing these ideas forward. 1. Aesthetics are subjective. A world wherein aesthetics are unified is one wherein one aesthetic has "won". Diversity of the most important kind (mental/spiritual) is therefore lost. 2. The direction "forward" must be justified in part by aesthetics, and so the unification of directionality implies a death of a great many of several kinds of people. It's not at all clear that the direction given in Gattaca is the greatest "forward" possible, but this idea is not dealt with at all. 3. Those seduced by these aesthetics unquestioningly are vulnerable to the kinds of seduction of the so-called rationalism or positivism emerging from the Enlightenment. These ideas are seductive as hell, and for good reason. The hell of war seems to accompany its rise. Therefore our "ascent" into rational behavior that seeks to see the world as made of interlocking components must be accompanied by its sister (mother), the world wherein all things are seen as part of a whole which is kept within nested encompassing structures. It should be clear here that these points of view are identical, but errors of analysis are made when one side is taken to be more true than the other.

Awesome!!

Excellent commentary, thank you

Better actors in the first one for a start

This movie was so way ahead of its time.

Does anyone have a theory how the spacecraft arrived back on Earth, to the surprise of the crew?

Great video. What did Harrison Ford or Carl Weathers ever say about this movie. Would love to know what they thought about this film. One of my favorite WW2 movies of all time. Actually liked it better than Guns of Navarone. Saw this with my dad as a kid on a Sunday night when it came on tv.

Billy Jack was a great film. Stallone's rambo seemed to copy many of Billy Jack characteristics.

Awesome film. Sequels were great also. TV show was ok.

The 1933 KING KONG is an incredible movie that works on all levels for me. I've seen it literally hundreds of times and I never get tired of it. This is what I call a self-generating movie -- it keeps renewing its energy. I can't see nice guy Joel McCrea as Jack Driscoll -- McCrea wouldn't pull off the necessary gruffness and sarcasm that Bruce Cabot brought to the role. You see it surface in the villains Cabot went on to play so effectively later in his career.

This movie is so fantastic. And it's the only movie I have watched which basically every line of dialogue made my jaw drop. Tony Curtis' best performance by far. Burt Lancaster as one of the great villains in film. And just beautifully shot and scored. I can't say enough good about this movie. It's nearly perfect in every way.

Unfortunately that's NOT Robert E. Howard's Conan in any shape or form. Howard's Conan is much more agile described often as a huge cat he is much more intelligent his intelligence saves him a lot out of tricky situations. He has a GREAT sense of HUMOR and honor he would never touch a woman without her consent or (more or less) kill a unarmed or weaker enemy if not absolutely necessary (the ".. crush your enemy.." nonsense. Well:eh) and has great knowledge he speaks dozens of languages and is great in strategy. .. btw most importantly :Conan was NEVER a slave. All his achievements he learnt by himself. Conan literally represents :to be FREE. A important part John Milius with his little problems missed. The world Howard created plays a HUGE role in the books. it's a magnificent rich world full of colours cultures magic (that Conan hates) mysteries and Adventure. Conan is practically the Safari guide through this world. Conan himself was under the line the criticism of Howard against civilisation with it's rotten ethics. The movie is under the line just a amusing Barbarian movie with a AMAZING soundtrack delivered by Basil Poledouris with a little flair of Howard's world but without Conan. So John Milius(with his little problems) missed the character of Conan TOTALLY Schwarzenegger is absolutely NOT the huge bronze taint black haired with glowing blue eyes warrior thief mercenary adventurer general and finally wise king. The world we see in the movie is just a WEAK representation of what awaits the reader in the books. The best version of the movie is a version cut tougher by a Howard enthusiast he made a silent movie out of it with just the AMAZING soundtrack of Basil Poledouri and no dialogue. Cheers.

This is my 'go to 80's comfort movie'. Thank you for the insight on this script. Gibson, Russell, and Julia were superb.
