I read the first manga series a while back, and was delighted at just how twisted and nihilistic a manga series written in the seventies could be.

Last night I watched Cherry 2000. The film was so 80s it hurt.



Tonight's flick is Colossus: The Forbin Project. Absolutely loving it so far.

I just checked up on the parents guide to Colossus, since I've never heard of it. Here's Imdb's parental ratings from various countries.


Australia:PG / Singapore:NC-16 / UK:12 (DVD rating) / UK:X (original rating) / USA:M (original rating) / USA:PG (re-rating) / West Germany:16

NC-16 and X, but nowadays it's PG? What kind of movie is this. I didn't find anything about an edit. Also, I wasn't aware that USA had an M rating. Must be an old one.

Upon further research, the original system used to be "Hayes Code." G for kids, M was the original PG, R, and X.

Still, it gets serious adult ratings around the world and it's OK for somewhat younger audiences in the US. What kind of movie is this?

Unforgiven

Loved it. I've always been a little bit close minded about Westerns because I'm not a fan of John Wayne, but this convinced me that I should check out the other classics (already seen Magnificent Seven, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and Dances With Wolves). Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is up next.


Eyes Wide Shut

Kubrick and genius are synonyms.


The Shining

See above.


Labrynth

My god, I don't think I've seen a more dated movie. It's fun and all, but that factor was really overwhelming. Also I don't get the goblin king's game, dude has a pretty ill laid out plan.

It's a sci-fi movie about a massive computer built to handle all matters of nuclear war for the US. Many parallels to WarGames from some years later.

The only adult situations in the film are a scene of modest undressing of both the protagonist and a female associate (at the instruction of the evil computer), but the shots are framed politely so as to position the characters behind glasses/vases so that nothing is revealed.

A bedroom kiss is the only adult action shared between the two on screen, while the camera politely pans upward and fades to black.

The theme of the film is a world on the brink of nuclear war at the hands of a mechanized goliath. A classic 70s computer "voice" is provided for Colossus halfway into the feature, which might have been scary for young viewers in the early days of computing?

Regardless, I don't understand the X rating.

On this we wholeheartedly agree. The man was so damn brilliant.
