It's gotta be the original... with james caan.
the remake just didn't do it for me.
the original was truly classic dystopian sci fi...
One of my top 1000 fav. movies.
Hmm...hockey? riot?
welllll....
actually all the rioters were not actually local...they were all pretty much from other locales ...the majority came via skytrain, and other modes into the city center ...they deliberately came into town to stir up trouble. I lucked out and was in Vancouver during the riot ...before ...during and after...and yeah...ordinarily there would be trouble scattered throughout the city in isolated pockets...but that year ...they used social media and gathered downtown. I was on the skytrain heading south away from downtown and the trains heading north were packed and the waystations had a lot of partiers, drinkers and troublemakers heading downtown....You could smell the trouble coming. Later at one of my friends down near North Delta ...it was interesting ...real quiet...then the sirens started...lotta police were being called into the downtown...I remember you could hear them heading there...then someone mentioned the news...and there they were...making the headlines...real boorish pieces of work. The best of the worst of our Nation imo.
Loved the photo montage btw.
yup that sums it up.
Regardless of the valid or in-valid reasons for rioting, protesting, marching, speaking-out or who is oppressing whom...
that is one of the many reasons I enjoy living on the outskirts of "civil" society.
The madness of our species I am not in the slightest interested in participating in.
Always I have simply moved further and further away into much saner smaller more remote places or communities when "civilization" has encroached.
