RoboCop

when you know robocop just from it's name and a few odd references throughout pop culture, there's this really awful moment when you're watching it and you realise its good. and its not just, like, camp good. its genuinely just a wonderful time. the writing is so sharp and the presentation so fantastic that it kind of feels like its every genre. i like that it not only shows how terrifying it is to be in a room with robocop, but how terrifying it is to be robocop. i like how every tv segment spliced into the movie shows just how fucked the world is. i love the gore and the stop motion and the wonderful design. some absolutely wonderful performances in here. i dont think it goes as far as i want it to, but i was in shock for so much of this viewing. WOW. so much fantastic satire just used as throwaway or background details. fuck, i love robots. fuck, capitalism is miserable.
