Does anyone else feel like Brandon Lee's performance in The Crow is kinda similar to Heath Ledger's in The Dark Knight? The mannerisms and cadence in the voice is what does it for me, but I also watched The Crow while absurdly high on cough syrup because I was desperately trying to force the flu out of me and also I was retarded and 16.
in cut footage of the twilight zone film, one of the kids appears to be wearing goth makeup and making scowly faces right before the helicopter crashes into them. if you pause and zoom on the smoke, the words "murder you're famil" can be read on the screen

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Dark City thought it was smart, but actually it was dumb. However, I think probably The Cube took place beneath that city.

It is a lot like when a five year old walks out of a movie theater telling you Transformers 4 is the best ever when a few hours ago they were insisting that the video they were watching of Land Before Time part 19 was the best movie ever.

Heath Ledger's Joker was actually a lot like 1970s Tom Waits.

It was OK but both Dark City and The Matrix did a better job with the same premise.

i wonder what was going on in our culture at the time that produced all these "reality is a lie" "question the machine" type movies around that time? Fight Club kinda fits in there as well.

A movie about a guy with multiple physical problems trying to subvert the system and be put in a high risk situation that will probably lead to the death of the spaceship crew.

Seriously, I could not get over this the first time I watched the movie. You can't go to space, deal with it you loving rear end in a top hat.

Same reason why the 90s had so much Tipper Gore "think of the children" moralising, identity politics, and Dale Gribble-level anti-government consporacy theories; Since the Berlin wall fell we didn't have a scary monolithic foreign enemy to distract us so we looked inward for conflict.

Then 9/11 happened and our movies were about being brave enough to torture people.

Dark City is like The Shining and Star Trek Voyager. I can't imagine why anyone would like them on any level, and when someone IRL says they do I actually think less of them as a person to the point of politely avoiding them in social situations.
