Logan's Run
Logan's Run is a 1976 American science fiction action film[5] directed by Michael Anderson and starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Roscoe Lee Browne, Farrah Fawcett, and Peter Ustinov. The screenplay by David Zelag Goodman is based on the 1967 novel Logan's Run by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. It depicts a utopian future society on the surface, revealed as a dystopia where the population and the consumption of resources are maintained in equilibrium by killing everyone who reaches the age of 30. The story follows the actions of Logan 5, a "Sandman" who has terminated others who have attempted to escape death and is now faced with termination himself.

It should be noted that director Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) had been wanting to do a remake of Logran's Run with Ryan Gosling in the lead role for the longest time (with it being a lot closer to the book). IMO that would have been utterly incredible.! Here's Refn & Gosling talking about it well over a decade ago (the quote from Refn I put in bold is pretty haunting considering what's gong on in the world these days) Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn Talk LOGAN'S RUN BY BILL GRAHAM PUBLISHED JUN 24, 2011 Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn Talk LOGAN'S RUN Remake: "We'll put together a team of futurists and artists and we'll dream on this world.” There are a handful of properties that beg for a remake that haven't found the right combination to get it started. The latest team is star Ryan Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson), who think they have finally figured out the errors of the previously potential suitors. Since the mid-1990s, the Warner Bros. property has chewed up and spit out every director Joel Silver could attach to the film, including Carl Erik Rinsch in November. The 1976 original directed by Michael Anderson centered on a future society that put an age cap at 30 to help alleviate the threat of overpopulation and limited resources. A Sandman named Logan 5 has spent his entire life chasing down Runners, but suddenly becomes one himself in a mix up. For what Gosling and Refn think is the key to remaking Logan's Run today, hit the jump. The duo sat down with 24 Frames and explained one major diversion that they are making is not strictly following the original film's technology. Said Refn: “Logan's Run is dated in the sense that everything came true. They've been trying to make it for years with the notion of just trying to remake the original movie. And it has to be rethought.” The technology obviously will have to be updated, but Refn isn't just stopping there. He seems to be eyeballing what got them to that point in the first place. "The premise of a society that decides to commit suicide is unique, and I think that's why everyone still thinks it could work,” Refn told 24 Frames. Even Gosling thinks they have the key to unlock a remake, adding, "We'll put together a team of futurists and artists and we'll dream on this world.” As for when the film may begin actual production, they aren't in any rush. While they will likely be focusing on their newly announced collaboration, Only God Forgives, they will still be working with screenwriter Will Beall on the script for Logan's Run. "We're still in the stage of trying to figure out the rules of the road," Refn said. Gosling also chimed in, saying, "Joel [Silver] said the other night, 'Take your time and make it good. It doesn't have to be ready at any point.'" https://collider.com/ryan-gosling-ni...fn-logans-run/ |

This is a movie that scared the shit out of my for a very long time. There is a scene in this so graphic with sounds and scenery that sent chills up my spine. If you've seen this movie, you know which one I'm talking about. It may be the most terrifying scene in a horror movie that is neither overtly gross, little to no blood. Just ****ing pending suspense and danger of what is about to happen.
Never seen it in 30+ years The Town That Dreaded Sundown It is a 1976 American thriller film[4] and horror film[5][6] directed and produced by Charles B. Pierce, and written by Earl E. Smith. The film is loosely based on the 1946 Texarkana Moonlight Murders, crimes attributed to an unidentified serial killer known as the Phantom Killer. It is narrated by Vern Stierman, who had narrated Pierce's 1972 film The Legend of Boggy Creek. Ben Johnson stars as Captain J.D. Morales, a fictionalized version of Texas Ranger Captain M. T. "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas. The Phantom is played by Bud Davis, who later worked as stunt coordinator on films such as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, and Inglourious Basterds. The film was mostly shot around Texarkana, and a number of locals were cast as extras. The world premiere was held in Texarkana on December 17, 1976, before its regular run in theaters on December 24.[7] The film states that "the incredible story you are about to see is true, where it happened and how it happened; only the names have been changed." The actual Phantom attacked eight people in or near the town of Texarkana, Texas, which is on the Texas border with Arkansas. Most of the murders occurred in rural areas just outside Texarkana, in Bowie County, Texas, while the film has them occurring in Arkansas. However, the general outline of the murders largely follows reality, with mostly minor artistic license taken. As in the film, the real killer was never identified nor apprehended.

Logan's Run is kind of the last of the old time sci-fi movies. The special effects weren't bad for the time, but the following year a little movie called Star Wars came out and after that everything changed forever.
I'd love to see a faithful remake, but I don't trust modern Hollywood to not **** it up. |

One show I never really got to see, except I Netflixed Season 1 back when Netflix mailed you DVDs, is Hill Street Blues. Would like to see that all the way through.
Haven't watched Moonlighting since it originally aired, and would love to watch it again. Sitcom-wise, I'd probably enjoy re-visiting Wings and News Radio. On an ironic note, I've seen every episode of Buffy, but have never seen an episode of Angel, even though I have the first 3 seasons on DVD unopened on my shelf.

Networks do not do movie nights any more. Used to be a few nights a week. Sunday was the main one.
Did HBO kill that or did they decide they could not cut the content out enough.

That was a really good show and cast. Never see it replayed. News Radio was replayed a while back but that's over 10 years since I saw an episode on TV My Name is Earl is another - I think someone may have mentioned that one.

I wouldn't go that far, but, much like Tron, it is a wonderful movie that taps into the fantasy that every gamer has - how cool would it be if I could do this shit for real.
