The joys of digital remastering
Jun. 26th, 2006 01:44 pmWatching a rather dated movie. "Logan's Run". As much as it is enjoyable, I can fully understand why William Nolan was irked at the changes made in the original book. I do think the original plot line would have made a great movie. Instead of 30 years old, and the carousel, it was 21 years old and Sleep. Francis is another Sandman, but he is a statistical anomaly, his life clock malfunctioned, so it never changed from red to black. Washington was devastated by a small dirty nuke, not overgrown, or overrun by cats and only having one person living there. Logan wanting to tell Francis that the young don't build, they just use.And Logan and Jessica didn't go back to the city, but escaped to Argos Space Station, with the help of the disguised Francis.
On the flip side of the coin, of the three 'Logan' books Nolan did, the first one was the only decent one. The other two, for want of a better word, were dreck.
