CARNE AND QUESO
FILM
I was going to ride the recent 90s nostalgia bubble and compile a list of of 90s distopian sci-fi movies that were set in the 2000s. Then I was going to make witty comparisons about the disparity between the grunge-raver fantasies and our modern reality. Then I remembered blogging don't pay shit and I have more important things to do then spend 4 hours writing and compiling something a handful of bored internet denizens would see.
So instead....
the best 90s dystopian Sci-Fi movies you probably have already seen a million times (without any time-period contextual commentary). The nexus where cyber-space, roller-blades, the Prodigy, lazor guns, CGI cyber sex, evil mega-corporate overlords, fake computer interfaces, genetic mutation and oaklies sunglasses were expertly milked for future-sploitation glory.
Enjoy, and if you have teenage kids make them enjoy for the sake of our past-future that never could be but kind of happened probably and might be realized through them in a new collective retro-future tomarrow.
Lawnmower Man (1992)
In 1992, The Lawnmower Man was hailed as a CGI (computer-generated image) breakthrough. It's fascinating to consider it in a historical context, knowing it came just a year after Terminator 2: Judgment Day and was followed by Jurassic Park a year later. Written and directed by Brett Leonard,The Lawnmower Man focuses on a scientist (Pierce Brosnan) trying to utilize technology for governmental gain. As with all top-secret government projects in the movies, it goes horribly wrong. Forced to progress from a chimp to a human subject, Brosnan secretly recruits local backwards boy and lawnmower pusher Jobe (Jeff Fahey). The increases in intelligence are alarming. He learns Latin in two hours, becomes an object of sexual desire (apparently all it takes is cowboy boots), and then develops telepathic and telekinetic abilities. What the film ought to be remembered and appreciated for are the visuals, which undoubtedly advanced the arcade and home computer game industry. --Paul Tonks
