Good lord, I'd forgotten this existed. I hate to admit, I saw this in the cinema.

Love this one and thank you for bringing it up here, needs to be remembered. I saw this in the old Cinematek in Paris like a million years ago and parts of it still stick with me.

I'd almost forgotten about that episode!
What I love about the movie is that both actors know full well they are in slop and are determined to make it as fun for we, the viewer, as possible.

It's an "All Time High"...... Well not really, but it does have Bond in a crocodile sub and dressed as a clown.

Loved this when it came out- Sayles did so much with such a small budget. Morton, as it seems in all things, excelled.

I know, it fit's neatly into that post All the Presidents Men, conspiracy 70's vibe.

People need to give Harris more credit here, she is fabulous- between this and Nashville she cemented herself as someone I like to watch.... of course Foster was super- I mean, this, Taxi Driver and Bugsy Malone what an interesting output.

Another of those films that, in hindsight, was prescient. It can be seen as an A.I. cautionary tale and also a reaction to the feminism of the time. Would play well with Stepford Wives.

Great film- I fear it is kind of forgotten.

Hate to say, even as a kid seeing it first run, I thought Tron was a slog...ditto for the sequel.. this one- ugh- I had to see it- long story- it was projected in something called Screen X which made it that much more painful- BUT if you closed your eyes, the music was great.

Such a classic- first watch in cinema I was too terrified to get the humor- but on subsequent viewing the subtle weaving of nihilism with comedy hit all the right places..... and I used to play this cassette nonstop on long car rides.

Now this one- I've been on record here forever in proclaiming my love for this film. I truly find it a fascinating watch in all it's bizarre spectacle. Some amazing imagery and the desire to take the story to another place....Bravo for the BIG SWINGS of cinema... bravo.
