Escape from New York, again

Not enough Manic Panic mohawks or motorcycle jackets in that scenario.

So, did the movie live up to your vision for it?

Also, the Knights of Cydonia video is just about the most excellent music video ever made. TIL I’m not Muse’s oldest fan. :wink:

Until a week ago, I didn’t even know they’d finished it. They showed me a short ~30-minute version of it a couple years ago (and borrowed my '68 F250 as one of the bad-guy vehicles for a desert chase scene), and that was utterly amazing and exactly what I’d hoped it would be. But then I fell out of touch. I reconnected at a mutual friend’s memorial service last week, and as we dried our tears they told me they’d finished it.

I haven’t seen all of the finished film (my 5-year-old came downstairs after having a nightmare when I was 20 minutes into the movie, so I had to stop watching, and so I intend to try again tonight once the kids are in bed), but what I’ve seen so far lives up to the short film’s promise.

Yes, it is. I don’t think I’ve ever heard another Muse song, but that particular song kicks ass, and the video is flawless. Sublime.

Gods! With all of the movies that could be made, that have never been made, why all of these reboots? How about doing Little Brother and Homeland or Makers…

You have seen the trailer for Samuel L. Jackson’s next movie, haven’t you?

Produced and directed by the people who did ā€œRare Exportsā€ so it should be really fun.

Muse are excellent live, seen them three times. Yeah, they’re a bit reminiscent of early Radiohead, and their last couple of albums haven’t been as good, but still a big fan. They put on a really good show.

I will see that in the theater!
