The Logan's Run thread (and other 70's SciFi....)

[simon the viking]

It's on tomorrow night 28/06/17 9.00 pm on the syfy channel

I can't believe this magnificent film hasn't got its own thread, as its mentioned regularly... normally relating to its female star.....

Jenny Agutter after she was a Railway child......Daddy my Daddy.....(did I ever say Mrs V is allegedly related to Sally Thomsett.... and I regularly have to stop her waving her flannel petticoats at passing trains)

And after she walked about but way before she was a nun...

Anyway if you don't agree this is one of the finest SciFi films ever made.... then whilst I value freedom of speech... on this occasion you are wrong..

An absolute classic and the book is also excellent.

The "re-imagining" looks like it might finally be going somewhere too, which I have my reservations about.

Went to the cinema with my Dad to see this. Vaguely remember that they tried a short-lived TV show as well.

 

[simon the viking]

They did.. only lasted 1 series

I'd be happy being snuffed out at thirty if I could beam Jenny Agutter into my room.

Great film. Michael York was well past thirty by the time it was made.

The chap that wrote the book did write a sequel, possibly two?

Utter sh1te and Ms Agutter is far too skinny.

Each to their own though.

There is a magic about that film...I've never put my finger on it but I always liked it.

Surely its a soaking wet Jenny Agutter....

I thought I read yonks ago, that after RC, JA was concerned of getting typecast and was only interested in scripts offering nude scenes

The idea of the Sandmen has always stuck with me as has the whole concept of such a dystopic society. The other one from a similar era that stuck with me was Soylent Green, all classic Sci-fi concepts.

 

[Bollo]

Hope Theresa isn't watching. The Carrousel might appear in the next manifesto.

Was Soylent Green the one with Charlton Heston and did they ultimately realise the 'food' was somehow made from humans ?

Yup. Another classic.
