When you walk through the garden…!

Splitting the movie in two might have made more money, but it cost Uma her Oscar nomination.

Feeling safe knowing it’s this person and his ilk who has wrest control of virtually all factors that will determine our ability to survive as a species.

Why bash Matthew Lillard?!?

It’s like that time that one journalist snarked Martin Short, as if it he had some Ryan Reynolds cultural omnipresence.

The Hollywood machine is not exactly forcing Lillard down our throats. Very easy to just avoid his work if you don’t like him.

I’ll keep signing. Thanks for the updates (and hard work!)

I think splitting it into two had its merits -- definitely in terms of box office.

But after watching it as a whole, I think the split cost Uma an Oscar nomination.

The big reunion during the final showdown really hit me with an emotional wallop the movies lacked as two separate parts.

This statue also negates the fact that part of the actual message from the movie is that making ROBOCOPs is a really, really bad idea.

Anyway, here is an amazing Robocop poster that I commissioned from @ericafails.bsky.social for an event I had programmed 10 years ago.

As my friend Craig D. Lindsey tried to tell me when I thought this was a good idea nearly two decades ago -- there are real life heroes, public servants, artists, and heroes who actually lived in Detroit who are way more deserving of a statue than Robocop.

They didn't even film the movie here.

Zaz bought two great legacy media companies (WB & HBO) and attempted to run them into the ground, and took credit (and a huge paycheck) when they managed to succeed despite his best efforts.

And even then he sold them off for parts.

All of which is to say, modern corporations are a cancer.

The universe responds by shouting a big fat ‘WHY NOT?!?’

Right?

Meanwhile so many regional and local brick and mortar businesses are handing off their support operations to prompt driven robots. How did the machine out-human my mom & pop pharmacy?

It’s also the final movie from the filmmaker who made Tarantino. TRUE LIVES was his first sale. The pick feels personal to me.

The one thing I remember about Black Hawk Down was the nice nap I caught at the theater during the middle of the film, and then being pressured after watching it to say it was ‘a masterpiece’ — from a director who could poop five of these things a year.

Dare I say a talkie.
