I really hope this doesn't suck. The thing about Philip K. Dick's writing is that it's smart. He asks big and interesting questions and presents them in exciting but though-provoking scenarios. Most adaptations of his work have been straight-up action flicks, which are usually terrible. The Schwarzenegger version was actually one of the better ones, but the big questions are overshadowed by the fact that it's an Arnold movie, with all that entails.

The gold standard is still Blade Runner, and that's the stick by which I'll be measuring this film.

Like I said, I hope it doesn't suck.

I'd see that on stage.


Stage? This can only be properly done in an icecapade!

I saw a documentary called "Total Recall", starring documentary filmmaker Arnold Schwarzenegger. This guy's explanation is not what happens...

I will note that Arnold was right - having nice abs is 5% having nice abs and 95% not having a bunch of fat over them. Get back on the carrots, Zach.

spot on


Forshizzle look at Brad Pitt in Fight Club he's skinny as can be I could put my hands around his waist, and just dance the night away... *stares longingly out the window*

It really looked like he was trying to Schwarzenegger his neck.

Arnold the Creep. I always had a feelin..


This is creepy isn't it. I almost killed this video a couple of times. But I thought I'd wait til more than four people watched it to make the judgement. So that more than four people would encounter the cheese.

Interesting. I was unaware of the Commodore 64 version, Mr. Sid!

Sweet links ant, thanks!

Not quite, it's the original version: Barbarian for the Commodore 64. Death Sword was a clone of that...

I used to think exactly the same thing, "Who wants to listen to people talk through the movie ON PURPOSE?!?"
But you really are missing out on some great stuff. Some movie commentaries are hilarious (Versus, Pink Floyd's The Wall). On the down side some are just horrendously boring (The Exorcist, In The Mouth Of Madness). You should give it a chance. Listen with a movie that you know really well and you won't miss a thing.
>> ^spoco2:
Commentary tracks are the one special feature I don't like, actually those and the stupid 'watch the film with popup behind the scenes snippets'.
I LOVE behind the scenes stuff, but if I want to watch the movie I WANT TO WATCH THE MOVIE. I don't want to half watch a movie, half listen to people talk about the movie. Give me a behind the scenes documentary that shows and tells me about how things were done and you'll have me watch for longer than the running time of the film even (which many of the docos are)
So... yeah, I just don't listen to them.




Oh, it's not that I haven't given it a chance, I have, I used to... and I agree, sometimes there's some good stuff. But just too much it's long pauses with nothing being said, so you end up watching the movie again, except that you're not really, as you're just waiting for the next interruption. OR it's long periods of talking about rubbish you don't care about.

I know there are good ones, I just get so little time to watch anything these days I'm a lot more picky
