Its South African director, Richard Stanley, came from music videos (Fields of the Nephilim, Public Image Limited, Renegade Soundwave) and Hardware feels like one long sci-fi music video from the early 90s, in like the best way, with optical effects and gnarly fades and "symbolism" and just like the whole bag, think almost like Tarsem Singh or Milcho Machevski, and with riffs on desert apocalypse and killer robots. The long ass survival sequence is because the movie's last third operates as a slasher flick, with the robot as the slasher, and they "kill" the robot three times and it keeps coming back, but not for like one last hit but to like continue fucking shit up. Yeah, you remember it. Yeah. FUUUUCK I won't know the movie you are watching. WHAT SHOULD I WATCH? Thinking Dead Alive or Daughters of Darkness or Frankenhooker. Yeah that’s what Hardware is.

Kinda cyber-punky or something? Was it mostly set in a completely red lit apartment with some long ass survival sequence going down in the kitchen? That was one weird movie. As for tonight's choice it won't be final (I have a marathon planned with some friends tomorrow) but I also won't be posting what it is until MIDNIGHT. I GUESS YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO TUNE IN!

I feel great anxiety about making this decision. ALSO YOU GUYS, I watched Hardware from 1990 and it's so zany. Recommended as a zany sci-fi horror movie. The full movie is on YouTube and Hulu Plus.
