William Hjortsberg posted some Legend behind the scenes photos

 

Click here to go to Hjortsberg's website that has the pictures and descriptions. 

       I've mentioned on several other occasions how much I like the movie Legend, starring Tom Cruise and Mia Sara. Any time something comes up Legend related, I have to report on it and share my excitement. This post may have been up for years on Hjortsberg's website, but I just stumbled upon it today. I found some other behind the scenes pictures on the Tim Curry Facebook, as well as Robert Picardo's Facebook. It's a really good to time to be a fan; you can just put in like 30 minutes of effort and really have some exiting stuff to look at. Older actors and actresses are reminiscing about old times as they age through the industry, so they are sharing on social media more than ever. 

    Anyways, click the link above, and enjoy some of the other pictures I found below:

My favorite, Tim pounding a 40 of High Life.

Prayer of the Rollerboys (1990) Full Movie!

 

Corey Haim and Rollerblades!

   In the not-so-far-away future, after "The Great Crash", gangs and drugs reign supreme. The great grandson of Adolf Hitler's rollerblade gang, dressed in white trench coats and black gloves, control the ebb and flow of a drug called Heaven's Mist. Naturally being a relative of Hitler, they are going to put something in the drugs to kill junkies and minorities. Checkmate fuckers!

These are bad dudes and they mean business. 

    Everyone settle down, because we have Corey Haim, and he is an accomplished rollerblader and can infiltrate this gang and counter corrupt it from the inside. At the middle point of the movie, I started to wonder if this was a prequel for the movie Solarbabies. It hit all the key points: Postapocalyptic, in the future, rollerblades, cast members from the Lost Boys. This movie inspired Corey Haim to pick up rollerblading full time, and often talked about it in interviews.

Skating in this way allows for perfect accuracy.

     My brother and I would wear one of my dad's trenchcoats and put skates on, and pretended we were part of the Rollerboys. Later on in life, after watching some more terrible rollerblade movies, I would end up trying to make a mini-career out of inline skating. So in a way.. I guess this terrible movie influenced me in some way? I guess I should write about that in some kind of future article.

Watch this movie, suspend your disbelief, and drink in the majesty that is Prayer of the Rollerboys.

    

Flying Luna Clipper (1987) Full Movie & Thoughts

 

Flying Luna Clipper is a DOS demo scene fever dream.

    I don't know why this movie exists to be honest. Did the world need a 55 minute movie made in 8 Bit PC art? Don't get me wrong, this is worth a watch. As people get more nostalgic for their DOS games, this film is going to resonate with more and more fans of the genre. If you just submit a little and watch this without asking for too much, it is actually a pretty soothing 55 minutes. Does the intro to Space Quest IV give you the warm fuzzies? Then this is 100% for you.

Half fruit, half person, this sums up the movie perfectly.

    Created by Ikko Ono on a MSX 8 bit computer, the video plays like a slideshow, and less like a movie. One piece of surreal art moves to the next, thinly animated at it's core. You have to really use your imagination at times. About 10 minutes in I was asking myself.. Why did Sony fund this? They had to obviously know this was not going to go over well. God, they even considered a sequel at some point. I don't want to shit on this too much, because It's super interesting, and I think it's important in many ways. Matt Repetski rediscovered this gem on Laserdisc at a thrift store, and uploaded this to his youtube channel, which makes you wonder; how many other things like this got made and we forgot about them in the stream of time?
