stephbgOutland (1981) Sean Connery plays a cop in a rough-and-tumble space mining facility.
* I love the smell of an evil giant corporation in the morning.
* A SHOTGUN? In a pressurised installation?????
* Hey Earth gravity on Io, cool. Handy. Cheap. Even after they made such a big thing of it being 1/6 Earth gravity because that looked sexy in greenscreen teletype.
* Boiling oil and glass containers in the company cafeteria. Sensible.
* Long boring foot chases through modular scruffy sets. Cheap. Handy for international distribution.
* I was promised Sean Connery in ugg boots, speedos and a bandollier, like Zardoz. Husband LIES.
* Red cordial as blood. They didn't even spring for strawberry jam.
* No dripping water or clanging chains yet, but I knows they's a'comin'.
* I see your hair, makeup, IT and--bizarrely--the sex scenes, and I guess 1982. Only a year off. I really don't want to think about that line of analysis. Something about the unattractive scrawniness of the prostitutes *shudder*.
* Monochrome command-line natural language processing AI info system. My brain is suffering.
