Lots of melodrama about guns but that ain't news; it happens every fookin' day here. Jim Jefferies said it all and nothing else is necessary.
It kind of amuses me sometimes to consider how many ways America's godly godliest would like to kill me because I won't kowtow to their endless killing with any belief it means something beyond savagery. How about executing me with toenail clippers as that would be fun, wouldn't it.
Meanwhile, we're resigned to the fact the only interesting aspects of humanity are in sci-fi movies and thus probably aren't true but it's a nice fantasy and we like it.
The idea seventies movies were deeper than eighties movies is still hovering about and one possible view is "THX 1138" versus "Star Wars" so, yah, let's put Robert Duvall up against Luke Skywalker in the Credible Sci-Fi Punchout.
Skywalker sure is dumb
and the boy goes down in one.
(Ed: Muhammad Ali you ain't)
Yeah, but I'm pretty.
(Ed: um, no. Pretty you ain't either)
Seventies offerings:
Andromeda Strain
A Clockwork Orange
THX 1138
Silent Running
Slaughterhouse V
Fantastic Planet
Sleeper
Soylent Green
Westworld
A Boy and his Dog
Logan's Run
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
...
and more
Eighties offerings:
Star Wars IV, V, VI
The Final Countdown
Escape from New York
Mad Max
Bladerunner
E.T.
Tron
Dune
Runaway
Back to the Future
... and so on
There are some hugely important sci-fi movies from the eighties but mostly that period reveals to me the start of the descent into the Age of Comics to the point now when a movie has no chance without some voidoid with super powers.
From the seventies, there was one major sci-fi movie after the other and not generally the fluffball films which came later.
This is not even close to a PhD treatise on the matter but there does seem some credibility to it.
