Travis Knight recommended Flash Gordon (1980) in Movies (curated)

 
Flash Gordon (1980)
Flash Gordon (1980)
1980 | Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi

"A gloriously ludicrous slice of 1980s cinematic fromage. Between the infectious Queen soundtrack, eye-popping Technicolor special effects, super hot Italian space princess, outrageous production and costume design, a deranged Max von Sydow spitting eminently quotable lines, and a leading man whose principle qualification was being a Playgirl centerfold, this movie had it all. I must’ve watched it fifty times when I was a kid. It was on a near-constant loop in our living room Betamax. One of the great many things I love about being a father is sharing my beloved childhood experiences with my kids. I was so giddily excited to watch this movie with my children when they were old enough. I couldn’t wait. They turned it off halfway through. I spent the next twenty minutes trying to convince them how awesome it was. They weren’t having it. My kids have terrible taste."

If only a quick fix really did work....

Quick Fix is not only a gripping read about an awful epidemic, it highlights how easy it is to exploit people. The ones with low self-esteem, the ones desperately seeking approval and the need to fit in or be perfect. It also shows how easy it is to manipulate and hide in plain sight.

Marley is a classic example of low self-esteem and is a product of social media and the pressure that society puts on people. I like her.......I also want to shake her as she's perfect as she is.

Written before Covid-19 came about, Quick Fix is pretty accurate in the measures that are put in place for outbreaks of infectious disease, it's kind of eerie.

I was hooked from the start, it had me thinking and guessing the end result.
