Bored today, so I rewatched 2 terrible films.
The first was Robocop 3. I didn't remember how campy it was. Its a terribly silly film all around, because of its black humor, bad directing, goofy CGI, and anticapitalist tone.
One thing that struck me as particularly weird was how the film tried to portray the future. It was like that H.G. wrote about the future. He thought that women would "soon" (from the Victorian era) be going to bars, and drinking, and smoking with men, in bonnets. He could see the future, but to the extent the limitations of his day presented to him. In Robocop 3, people talk to each other on these huge CRT monitors for face to face conversations, like we skype on flatscreens today.
The other film is Tank Girl. I read some of the comic book "Tank Girl: The Odyssey" back in the day, and they tried to preserve the feel of a comic book through the film, but failed. It was too silly. Characters changed clothing implausibly
mid scene, you could see the wires sticking out of actors jumping on the set, etc.
They just didn't do a good job on it.
