Ok so -- who can name this weeks movie referance?

[Randomthoughts]

Dark city.

SUCH a good movie....

If you still mean Dark City, then yeah, absolutely. The ironic thing is that it got buried by The Matrix, which is actually much more of a classic fairy tale in SF clothing; Dark City, on the other hand, is real SF but got overlooked as 'The' SF movie of that release cycle.

I've only had time to see it once, but I do have the DVD. Just... no time.

And Cheyenne, I am completely missing the reference du jour. Forgive me! *sob*

Remember how the scientist trained John Murdoch?

Dark City is a great movie. I liked it quite a lot. When I first saw it I was reminded of an old Heavy Metal story about a man trapped in city where all the buildings were false fronts and the people all robots... I wish I could remember the name of that.

Anyways -- any alusions to Dark City that I put in this weeks strip was purely unintentional.

the Intentional movie referance was...

Alan's babble. It's one of Merlin's lines to Arthur, from John Boorman's Excalibur (1981).

Highlight to read

Blast! I miss again!

Maaaaan, I haven't watched that in a long time... but I remember the actor's performance pretty vividly. It sounds kinda familiar now that you clue us in.
