Either

- some people have a very different interpretation of camp than I do
or
- its now viewed very differently by a generation of kids who grew up on torture porn.

It's a shame the DH collection never came out, as they done other omnibus collections for the likes of Barb Wire, Terminator and Star Wars.

One query about RVsT:

I don't think it has any particular significance to the characters, bar the references to the future. It's just a typical mid-tempo ballad sung by two singers well past their commercial peak.

I understand that not everyone will appreciate the nihilism on display in R2, but I do think it is a logistical extension of the first film, which ends with the police on strike and a multi-national c ...

One that I would like to see is a debunking of the notion that Robo is merely a knock off Judge Dredd (which has been perpetuated thanks to the 2000AD documentary).

- it gives ample reason for Murphy to fall trap to the reprogramming (him being dismantled, the finality of Ellen moving on and being preg ...

Re-read this the other day after a conversation with friends.

Although I acknowledge it's a first draft, I can't deny that this script is utter shite. In a way it feels like it was written by peopl ...
