Looker (1981)

By popular demand (like maybe 3 people demanded it) i’m gonna use the tumblr website to speak about movies, the ones i used for those few video edits i’ve made and the ones i sample in my mixtapes. I’m warning you some of those movies are a big mess, plot holes, terrible cast, but this is not imdb.com my dudes and i’m not trying to impress any cute thing i’ve met at the library who has watched Citizen Kane 13 times in exchange for sexual intercourse. 

To explain why i like those movies is simple, it will usually comes down to 3 things, the soundtrack, the cast and the global aesthetic, and also a few favourites scenes. All those movies can be found by anyone with google skills, online stream, youtube, torrents, you can also buy them if you’re into collecting objects. If you have a vhs of any of those movies i require a jpeg. Now let’s talk about motion pictures.

In this movie my main man Larry Roberts, plastic surgeon (portrayed by Albert Finney who looks like he could grill a mean sausage) worked on a group of babes who were looking for perfection, he then learned that those same girls died in shady ways. You can’t fool Larry who gets suspicious and starts his own investigation which will lead him to discover the weird activities of a big deal high tech company called Digital Matrix (!)

Looker AKA l’Ordinateur Meurtrier in Canada and Troppo Belle Per Vivere in Italy is a science fiction movie directed and written by Mike Crichton in 1981. The same dude who wrote Jurassic Park and Westworld which has been made into a movie (that i’ll speak about another day) which then inspired the 2016 tv show. Yeah the dude like stories about men creating things that will entirely go wrong regardless of the many warnings they get. But also this movie is basically talking about CGI before it was even a thing, “the first use of shaded 3D CGI in a feature film” before TRON. Globally this movie is banging society more than 30 years before Black Mirrors, talking about manipulative ads and how to alienate the customer, scary stuff.

What’s a good movie review without a shot of the moment in the movie where they say the name of the movie you’re watching

Few words about the cast, Albert Finney aka Dr Larry Roberts, i like this dude, he’s been in James Bond movies and stuff, he has no manager, no agent, like me and likes Manchester United, cutie pie Susan Day as Cindy, my dude Dorian Harewood aka Ltn Masters aka Eightball it ain’t too goddamned beaucoup from Full Metal Jacket, main villain James Coburn aka John Reston, legend dude who once played a character named Mr Crisp in Sister Act 2, the classic henchman Tom Rossovich aka Moustache Man who looks like he could fix your entire bathroom with one screwdriver

That’s Tom Selleck’s college roomate right here, not even kidding

So what you get if you watch this is a GREAT intro, the first 5 minutes of a movie are critical, supposedly, this one is nailing it, there’s a playboy playmate and you get a theme song and all, a very good soundtrack, too bad they never released the official ost, everything fits, from the Sue Saad songs to the scenes with Vivaldi, and a few hints of classic 80s movie synth work, and a really cool looking movie overall, it’s one of those movies you could play in the background with music on top of it at a party or something, very often i’ll see people trying to come up with cheesy visuals with their names on it (impact font size 72) while really you just need to play stuff like this.

Best scenes, moustache man uses a weird gun that can hypnotize his victims so they lose any notion of time, kind of a let down that the dude is very serious and not once think about lowering the pants of a douchebag down to his ankles, the fx is straight fire tho
