Hackers, Waterworld, The Postman
Them: "Waterworld is crap, it's just Mad Max on water"
Me: "that sounds awesome"
I honestly have no idea how WaterWorld was not a huge hit, I loved that movie ... I'm also very afraid to re-watch it since I haven't seen it in quite a while.
It was a pretty big hit at the time but the production costs got so out of control I don't think it made it's money back. I'm sure in the long run it's done ok.
Eh...it may have made money, but even back then it was panned a huge misfire, and probably hurt Costner's career for a while. There's a reason it's Sam's favorite movie in Generation V. The kid who's been held in psychiatric prisons his whole life.
They had to build the main set twice because of a hurricane.
They also had a chunk of the budget set aside to digitally un-recede Costner's receding hairline.
It is very entertaining. And universal created a live action show at their theme park in Hollywood based on it, that's still running.
Dennis Hopper was just crushing it back in the day.
Hack the planet! God that movie is such an amazing time capsule.

I just watched Blade for the first time. The computer model of the ascension chamber felt a lot like the visualization of the Gibson mainframe operated by that magician/skateboarder duo
I have it on Blu-ray and I love it.
More boobies would have made me love waterworld
Great concept though
There is that rape scene....
I apologise for my previous comments I actually haven't watched waterworld all the way through
I think I'm confusing two scenes. One where the women and girl are effectively at Kostner's mercy and she offers herself to him so they don't get thrown over board. I -think- he turns her down and then there is a consensual act later.
Probably I was getting confused with blade runner.
The postman was good. Sure it's a generic post-apocalyptic romp with a positive message. But I liked it.
It's so corny that it wraps around to feeling sincere.
