I watched Robocop again this weekend after playing the game released last year. The PS5 version is a bit glitchy, but I really enjoyed it otherwise, watching the film again and it was surprising how faithful the video game was to the film. I thought the film would show it's age more, but it actually still holds up quite well. Also brought back memories of music that sampled many of the lines and effects from the film.

Robocop is wonderful how it both faithfully embraces the hollywood action flick / stereotypical "fear of crime" (not sure how to say that) film ... and seems to satirize it all at the same time. Robocop walking on water is both hilarious and fun.

  > stereotypical "fear of crime" (not sure how to say that) film My pet theory is that a whole glut of those films and film-adaptations (i.e. Judge Dredd) can be correlated to a zeitgeist of worry from rising US violent crime graphs. (The crime-stats, in turn, are quite suggestive of massive lead-exposure on a delay.)

  > seems to satirize it all at the same time Verhoeven managed that very well in Total Recall and Starship Troopers too - he really hit the right note. Right on the boundary of ludicrous and believable.
