I’m a huge fan of 'Scum' - one of the few steelbooks I own. First heard about the banned tv drama, then the movie version came out soon after. Both versions are on my steelbook. I saw the ending as a political statement about how these institutions are - no solution or happy ending. Avoided 'Dog Pound' as I assumed it was a poor remake … curious about it now though. Gilbert Grape is another favourite of mine - at the time, we were convinced Leo was actually mentally challenged (there was no internet, we just viewed by trailers and film magazines). The next time we saw him in a movie, it was quite a shock 😂 Gilbert Grape is such a good film, could talk loads about it.

Police Squad was a genius series - made after the success of Airplane, and in the same vein. Shown on tv late at night, it went under the radar.

Yeah, there’s nothing notable about the original now. However, when it came out, we hadn’t seen this kind of film - a Noir sci-fi, Vangelis soundtrack, fresh actors and a fresh premise. Apart from the 'ooh factor' we got from the initial viewing at the cinema, I agree with your thoughts, always have. I’ve watched the multiple variations, multiple times, trying to find the fascination others have with it, but I like it less each time I view it. A few terrific scenes though, that I love to re-watch. 2049 … much better experience all round 👍

The Laserdisc had the same small image. TVs back then had a 'Zoom' or 'Full' function, which blew the image up. Gotta say, on my old CRT, the Laserdisc looked great, even when blown up. I think it was something to do with Cameron's reluctance to use anamorphic lenses.

I’m a huge fan of 'Scum' - one of the few steelbooks I own. First heard about the banned tv drama, then the movie version came out soon after. Both versions are on my steelbook.
