The original is very very 80s with a lot of typically 80s clichés and gags. It even uses a stupid chief type character as a foil.

I was given the impression that if you didn't take a picture you would not have remembered.

Except for people who can't stand Soundgarden because of Chris Cornell but appreciate some of the other aspects.

It's too bad that good parts of Soundgarden never had a high profile side project.

Had no idea. It just looks like an Empire or other low budget film like that one that looks like it was filmed through panty-hose (can't remember the name). Wikipedia puts at 47 million which is higher than return of the Jedi.

As a kid I absolutely loved Krull but it's definitely typical of the low budget sci-fi movies of the time.

Music: new albums from Guerilla Toss and The Big Ups. The only thing that can diminish the power of a new Big Ups album is how f'ing good the latest one from Guerilla Toss is.

Remember you could always find "Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds" on the discount cassette turnstyle in gas stations?

Nah, Peace Sells… and Rust in Peace are a head above anything Metallica did. Unless of course you're easily dazzled by long intros.

"Justice" simply suffers from bad production. Everything is muddied and smothered on that album. I can't think of a more recent thrash album that sound that anemic without excessive volume. Even Master has moments where the mix is must more anemic than it ought to be. The live cuts sound better because the production…

It's like there wasn't a significant number multimovement rock songs before Master of Puppets. Let alone things inspired by baroque. It's part of the reason I don't want to talk about 'classic' albums. There's just so much bullshit attached to the discussion.That's around the time people are trying to impress with…

It seems like it's always been the norm though. There's always been Criterion, Something Weird, and other companies releasing improved versions, or packaging the movies in their own aesthetic. There's always been carelessly produced major studio releases, and there's always been the ultra-discount brands.

Ontario Police Patrol?

hmm… Ocasek is a rock star, and Dan Aykroyd believes in crystal skulls and chewed condoms as a comedy bit.

Coil "Sex with Sun Ra"
Brian Jonestown Massacre "(David Bowie I Love You) Since I was six"

I discovered this film through one of those cheap 6 movie DVD complations. An instant favourite.

Brian Eno seems to be quite a bit more than an "electronic music pioneer." Sure, the guy works with electronics, but ambient music was an innovation in composition, and most of his production work has been with rock bands.

So, I guess working Futurama doesn't count as acting in comedy.

The X-Files was smirky and low-budget. It was unique for being the first to mash-up sci-fi, horror, police drama, and soap opera. Re-watching the series now feels like being sucked into a square screened pre-Internet time warp. You can't remake that sort of thing.

But, it's the typical mainstream attitude where instead of admitting that they're talking about popular music, they simply dismiss the other 99% of what's going on.
