Today (March 2) in 1933, the original King Kong premiered in theaters.
That's over NINE decades of the KING! And he's more popular now than ever. There was recently an animated series, a video game, a new comic series is coming out, another TV series is on the way, there's the toys, and of course Godzilla x Kong premieres at the end of this month.
Long live King Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World. May he reign forever 👑 🦍
Silent Running might be one of the most depressing sci-fi's I've ever watched.
I can see how in the 70s it probably was distant enough to feel like a fantastical drama, and the idea of earth losing its ecosystems with the last remnants being kept alive in outer-space domes was an unrealistic idea, but today it feels just way too current.
Bruce Dern is absolutely amazing, but omg this movie just gets more and more sad until it ends as bleakly as it begun
I am not sure Wizards was the movie to follow up Silent Running with.
Now I'm just more depressed.
I did know about Wizards of course, but I didn't realise just how heavily it mirrors real life events. Should have assumed knowing Bakshi's history I guess, but I know his work from Spicy City most of all, and that isn't as on the nose with its world building
There has to be some robot movies that aren't about the world dying/man's disregard for life 🤖
I am on a mission to watch all the movies containing robots I haven't seen (so more obscure stuff than matrix, AI, I robot, ghost in the shell, terminator etc)
