Stuartboy, I remember Max Headroom. I suppose I'm an oldie, then. It feels just like yesterday - sometimes - just not on a Monday - more so on a Friday, nearing the 4.00 p.m. finish.stuartboy wrote:I thought this was a very entertaining portrayal of a very un-entertaining subject. Other than some lacks of realism previously mentioned it hit all the right buttons without any unecessary schmalzy rom for the sake of rom and plenty of com.
I reckon Skeletor deserves an oscar!
Hands up who recognised Mitch (the bald cancer patient with the glasses)?
He was M-M-M-Max Headroom.
Hands up who even remembers Max Headroom? - the disembodied computerized head on Channel 4.
I'll give this a good 7/10 from me.
I thought the subject matter was handled brilliantly. Nice touches throughout (especially friendship).
Especially liked Gordon-Levitt's character 'car' scene (wondered if he drew on the feelings of frustration of his brother's death - grieving for yourself or for others can get to you, and yes to those extremes).
I also liked Gordon-Levitt's 'porch' scene, with the character arc.
The ending was also sweet, not loathsome in its own deliciousness by any means - not too much, just the right dose.
erm it was only a couple of weeks ago, I'd worry for anyone's memory if you can't remember back that far. The Help was also another one with many screenings & codes.
