The 1970s science fiction classic that actually deserves a reboot

Sunday, September 1, 2024 • Duration 23:31

Watch the FULL video version on the new Science Fiction (video) Spotify channel : https://open.spotify.com/show/7lMNsoZctViqbqv8atqpK2?si=9a474bb8a9d74147 Why was the 1970s a classic era for science fiction cinema? I’m guessing many 1970s scifi movies are forgotten, by anyone who wasn’t there to see them. Dark Star. Silent Running. Rollerball! The 70s produced so much great scifi cinema it’s hard to list it all. And even when it wasn’t great, it was still interesting. It’s like every scifi movie in that decade was a unique experiment, always different, always new. And then one movie came along that ended the golden decade for strange, cool scifi movies. After Star Wars every science fiction movie was trying to be a scifi blockbuster. And Hollywood’s search for the next big corporate entertainment franchise meant that everything would eventually get a reboot. Sometimes that worked. And sometimes it didn’t. And it didn’t work enough times that, I for one, live in dread of Hollywood rebooting another 70s science fiction classic. But. There is one movie from that golden decade which, the more I think about it, actually does need a reboot. # Watch the FULL video version on the new Science Fiction (video) Spotify channel : https://open.spotify.com/show/7lMNsoZctViqbqv8atqpK2?si=9a474bb8a9d74147 Become a member of the Science Fiction community to continue the discussion Website - https://damiengwalter.com YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/DamienWalter/membership Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/DamienWalter Subscribe to the Science Fiction podcast feed for long-form commentaries on these video essays https://damiengwalter.com/podcast/ Join the Science Fiction community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/324897304599197/

Loki Who?

Friday, October 20, 2023 • Duration 06:46

PS - man with midlands accent is Alan Moore There is an ancient English ritual, performed in the grey and rainy times (which is the entire year save 2 weeks in July), when the tribes people gather around a glowing screen and politely pretend that whoever is playing Doctor Who is a great actor. They never are. But it's not their job to be. The Who actor's singular task is to depict a very particular kind of eccentric Englishness (or, now and again, Scottishness), in an ever so slightly new variety. As such Tom Hiddleston has been on the "who would make a good Who" list for some years now. The problem is the Beeb can't afford him. Tom is at the bottom of the list of the top British actors, just below Eddie Redmayne and Damien Lewis, and far behind the likes of Tom Hardy and The Cavill. Nobody on the Top list would ever play Who. Unless...Disney decided to do a Who reboot. Which is what I think Loki is. There have been dark rumours that Disney tried to buy Who itself, but were rebuffed by Aunty Beeb. So I think Disney decided to try and steal the market segment instead. They have the clout to get Hiddleston for the role, and once season one was a hit they decided to go all in and take on Who. So don't be surprised if Tom ends season two by zooming off in a faux Tardis for more adventures.
