Logan's Run




Where to begin....

Some movies are amazing. Some are atrocicous (guess which I watch more of!). But this film will forever hold a special place in my heart as one of the most JUST PLAIN FUCKED UP movies I've seen. Fear and Loathing felt like less of a drug trip. The parts not involving ice spitting robots or steam spears or slow motion sex shot chase scenes might have made sense, but if they did, I missed it.

It was also nice to see talented actors at work. The lead watched like he had made a careful study of both Charleston Heston and William Shatner's outtakes, and then dedicated his life to under-acting them. Also, I can appreciate a film where every single major character gets at least one bare-chested shot.

All in all, highly reccomended. incomprehensible plot, crap acting, special effects that looked like they were done by Led Zepplin's lights guy during a seziure... this movie has it all.
