A good post from Millsworks

If you haven't visited Rob Mills Millsworks.net then you should head on over. Rob and I share an insatiable appetite for movies and his political views are just as passionate (some might say ravingly so).

Poke around for a while.

Six Million Dollar Man



I can't help but giggle at the memory of watching this as a kid. Still, it's a great idea for a feature film - a bionic man that is (sans Sasquatch).

As a note, slow motion and a fast soundtrack sell the sense of speed and power. Note the bizarre passage of time in this sequence - they meet during the day and finish fighting at night and then run back into the daylight. It's as if Ed Wood had directed it!

There was a time when a hairy chest was cool.

I wouldn't want to get hit with a tree...
