    Me while listening to the great theme from V & watching the opening titles: "Michael Ironside. You know, there oughtta be a Michael Ironside season on one of our watch parties. Hell, there oughtta be a non-stop Michael Ironside channel, all Mike all the time!"

  2. I haven't posted about Paul Verhoeven, or his his directorial trademark of over the top graphic violence punctuated with a liberal use of squibs in a while. So...

    Pick your favourite Paul Verhoeven film:

  3. The "Confused Breakfast" recently posted an excellent podcast titled "Is Starship Troopers A Good Movie" and it's a solid recommend.

    The podcast if full of noteworthy commentary, particularly, fast forward to 56:40 for a fantastic fan theory regarding humanity's war with the bugs.

  4. Both Aliens and Total Recall use flat screens depicting idealistic scenes of nature. These scenes were futuristic for their time.

    It's worth noting that something which seemed so futuristic back then have now become commonplace.

  6. To celebrate the birthday of Paul Verhoeven, please enjoy Arnold Schwarzenegger using an innocent bystander as a meat shield. This scene from Total Recall is also up there on the top 10 use of squibs.

    As I wrap-up my posts regarding Mr. Verhoeven for now, I think this video makes for a good final post.

  7. I'm continuing to celebrate the birthday of Paul Verhoeven. To that end, I'm yet again posting a video with his signature trademark: Graphic violence punctuated with a liberal use of squibs.

    Today's clip from "Starship Troopers" may not feature squibs per se, but it's violent, and sets the tone for the film. So, enjoy!

  8. Total Recall turns 33 years old today. It premiered back in 1990.

    Based off "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" penned by Philip K. Dick, it earned $260+ million dollars.

    It did get a 2012 remake, but I think it's safe to say the original is better received.

    In honour of Total Recall, enjoy the single most over-the-top bar fight ever put to film. Courtesy of Paul Verhoeven.

  9. What do you get when you cross Star Wars and Mad Max?

    Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone!

    Yes, it's a cheesy 80s scifi B-movie, but its got a decent aesthetic and a good cast, including Ernie Hudson, Molly Ringwald and the always awesomely villainous Michael Ironside as the Overdog McNabb.

    It's not the greatest film ever made, but its a fun way to kill an evening.

  10. Our first solid piece of story information in "Total Recall" that Douglas Quaid isn't who he seems to be is the way he manages to kill would be assassins in cold-blooded efficiency.

    The film kicks into high gear from here on out, living up to the of "Get ready for the ride of your life" tagline.

  11. Most of my calls to work can be summed up the way Cohaagen (Ronny Cox) greats Richter (Michael Ironside) in one of my favourite underrated scenes in "Total Recall".

  12. Paul Verhoeven certainly knows how to cast his corporate bad guys. Ronny Cox plays Dick Jones in Robocop and Cohaagen in Total Recall.

  13. "Total Recall" offers a glimpse in the future where ESPN, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Pepsi, Philips, Coca-Cola, and Fujifilm seem to be just some of the larger corporations which advertise very prominently.

  14. I love everything about Total Recall: The protagonist "waking up" with a bout of amnesia, unpacking a mystery suitcase filled with strange items, putting the pieces of a puzzle together while staying in a hotel filled with clues, a call from a strange contact, a stereotypical dive bar, and an evil corporation.

    The only downside is that you can't turn back time and re-live the first time you watched it.
