A remake of the movie IMHO would be a "PC Abortion", rumors that I heard is Logan will be cast as a Female and Jessica would be transgender and the term "Sandman" would changed to some gender neutral non-offensive term. I haven't got my hands on the novel series yet because the price of the Logan trilogy is like $160 for paperback.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905563036492962036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-73383001071270952742017-03-08T20:01:06.019-05:002017-03-08T20:01:06.019-05:00Despite the fact that neither of us saw it until a...Despite the fact that neither of us saw it until adulthood, my sister and I both have a fondness for Logan's Run. In fact, on her wedding day, I even heard my sister describe it to her sister-in-law as one of our favorite movies. It's one of my favorite sci-fi movies anyway; I'd go so far as to call it a classic of the genre. It's not that I think it's a perfect film- it's pretty goofy in a lot of ways, but the kitsch factor is a big part of the reason that I love it. When you consider that Star Wars came out just a year later, perhaps it doesn't compare so favorably. Even 2001, which came out a decade earlier, has held up way better; 2001 is not nearly as dated-looking. Logan's Run is a fun movie, though. It's bright and colorful and has cool sets and costumes and some neat sci-fi ideas. Also, I get a kick out of Peter Ustinov's performance. In a circumstance like this, I always think of Richard Roeper's defense of The Brothers Grimm: "It's a mess, but it's a glorious mess." rocketdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574717380856957685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-71770623543592867512017-03-05T18:28:19.432-05:002017-03-05T18:28:19.432-05:00I always enjoy seeing sci-fi films profiled at the...I always enjoy seeing sci-fi films profiled at the Cafe.

I'd forgotten there was a movie until I read your review. It doesn't sound like a perfect film (whatever that is), but I'll be it's still worth it.

He was also great in "The Yakuza." We lost him far too soon. By the way, there was also a third novel by Nolan, Logan's Search, and various comic book adaptations of the film. The movie has long been rumored to be in the works for a remake, but nothing solid has happened yet.John Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663676176398174024noreply@blogger.com
