loneliness from the black planet

As a generation of B-movie masters, John Carpenter has been on a slant since his debut. Because the great god Kubrick produced the sci-fi benchmark "2001: A Space Odyssey" as early as the 1960s, for Carpenter, who was in the 1970s and was the first director, to want to surpass the classics seems a bit silly, but fortunately The director clearly realizes that he needs funds, no funds, and experience and inexperience, so he simply does the opposite to make a low-cost sci-fi comedy. Since the...

How I Learned to Stop Fearing and Fall in Love with Bombs

Imagine this: you are in space, and there is nothing around you but a spaceship. The space is dark and cold, and only the lights on the spaceship are shining. Your ship has a bomb under it, fully intelligent, ready to follow instructions to destroy the enemy - unfortunately, instead of being let out, it got stuck. Time passes minute by minute, and Bomber will soon unswervingly complete its life mission: explode!

Your only chance is to talk about life and ideals with this bomb with its...

interesting points

1. The special effects of the movie can't be worse. The operation interface of the spacecraft is a bunch of colorful buttons, but even so, the directors of the 1970s still gave the highest level of imagination to artificial intelligence. The human central computer will be embarrassed to interrupt the astronauts listening to music, and will have a dialogue with the bomb. Even a bomb will think and have a cordial conversation with the astronauts. We are still far from that vision.

2. A...

Where can I find the 83-minute non-director's cut?

The 71-minute prediction and the missing plot in 83 minutes are as follows:

But Bomb 20 was very unlucky, encountered various accidents, and was sent to the vehicular standby time and time again. After the spacecraft computer system found a problem, it repeatedly asked Bomb 20 to cancel the mission. The logic of the bomb on the black planet is the same as that of the majority of computers. The determined things will not be easily changed, so the computer system can only coax and...

8.3 Simple, rough and cheap WTF is fake, but it shows extraordinary imagination everywhere and saves money for a lifetime. John Carpenter's debut novel is really ingenious: aliens with a very depressing appearance, missiles instilled in logical phenomenology, dull black humor is more like a cold joke, and at the end, you will know such a small cost What is the charm of independent...

Carpenter's tone is actually very similar to Moebius; the fake astronaut is Dan O'Bannon; Benson arizona is actually written by Carpenter, the old man is so...

[B+] I suspect that Carpenter will never be able to reproduce the humorous and casual nature of this debut novel in his subsequent works. Under the rough production, there is a talent and aura that cannot be concealed. In terms of form alone, it is a ghostly version of "2001" + "Dr. Strangelove". All the nonsense effects are set up to stimulate the type of tone of jokes and spoofs. The astronaut and the balloon man fight each other for brooms. It's the best proof, the cartoon tone, the rote...
