Every once in a while, a movie comes along that sets a new standard. No words or descriptions or praise or repeated viewings can really do justice to this. Who hasn’t wanted to be Buckaroo Banzai?

Robocop II
I know I saw it, but I have no idea what exactly transpired.
Robocop
If you see this, try to see the directors cut. I don’t know what all changed, but one scene in the beginning (where the machine goes haywire and kills the executive) was changed. In the original cut, the machine shoots for like a minute solid, until its guns run dry. I guess “somebody” thought that was just too gruesome.
While the movie did have a corny element, it’s aged well. In the end, it’ll make you wonder if life will imitate art one day.
Naked Lunch
I’ll have to read the book someday. This was one whacked movie. It was a great exploration of a drug-induced alternate reality. It does a great job of blurring the lines of time, place, fantasy and reality.
