Movie TV Tech Geeks #Movie #Action #PointBreak #Rollerball 10 Worst Remakes of Beloved Action Movies, Ranked http://dlvr.it/TSSRS0

This movie was more interesting than I expected. I thought it would basically be a sports / action / SF movie but it was actually more a melancholy art movie.

James Caan gives an unusual performance. Most of his dialogue I simply didn't catch. That's how mumbly he is. But his character is — no pun intended — extremely laid back considering he's the most terrifying Rollerball player ever and considering he's being forced out of the league by corporate overlords.

One thinks about a lot of things while watching movies. That's what they are, actually: contemplation spaces. While watching Rollerball, I spent quite a bit of time thinking about how little a helicopter blade would have to teeter to slice off someone's head.

Schwere Unfälle mit erschreckenden Bildern von den Verletzungen gehören zum Spektakel. Früher nannte sich das Gladiatoren Kämpfe, dystopisch 1975 mit dem Film #Rollerball ins Jahr 2018 versetzt. Und mit der beschriebenen Systemstruktur lag der Autor William Harrison gar nicht weit daneben, bzw. streben die Tech-Milliardäre genau so etwas an. Immer schneller, brutaler, kommerzieller, zur Unterhaltung u. Kontrolle der Massen.

I am struck by how the only bit of the film Rollerball which hasn’t yet neared reality is the cultural ubiquity of the game itself: the film’s portrayal of the destruction of traditional sources of knowledge with digitised and sanitised information, the rise of hallucinatory AI and the rising power of corporations (and their executives) over governments was at the time satirical (and faintly ridiculous) but now seems painfully prophetic. Here’s the sequence where Jonathan E starts to realise his thirst for knowledge is not going to be satisfied (reducing him back to ‘just’ a sportsman, with only power through violence left to him)…

RETRO MOVIE REVIEW: ROLLERBALL, 1975
ROLLERBALL, 1975. Directed by Norman Jewison (THE CINCINNATI KID, 1965 and IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, 1967). Starring James Caan, THE GODFATHER, 1972 and FREEBIE AND THE BEAN, 1974.

If there’s an old classic science fiction film that holds relevancy today it’s the epic blood sport film...

I have a new pen. This is one I designed and made myself!

Printed on an FDM printer in PLA, using a brick-layer POS processing script.

It requires a bit of cleanup with sandpaper, but works well.

My sense was that the #movie #Rollerball was set far into the future, but it was set in 2018. They got the corporatocracy right to some extent. #film

🍿Dystopian classic Rollerball (1975) is set in 2018 and stars James Caan as Jonathan E, star of an ultraviolent gladiatorial sport.

I ordered a Schneider cartridge rollerball pen on Amazon and finally received it today. I’ll mess around with it and report back. But I noticed it came with an open-ended cartridge… Why? 🤔

#FountainPens #FPAdjacent #rollerball

Ok pen people, why is dark blue such a hard to find color in #ballpoint and even #rollerball refills? No problem finding it in liquid ink, but even blueblack is hard to find. Kaco used to have dark blue .5mm gel refills on the river, but they’re gone. Monteverde has blueblack in their gel refills, and it’s nice color, but it’s not a nice true dark blue. #pens #fountainpens
