80s gems
I was thinking about 80s films this morning - D.A.R.Y.L. specifically. I read an article on a robot nurse that went a little haywire in a hospital. The image reminded me of the robot that treated daryl the kid from the flight of the navigator (just remembered) when he was in the hospital.
Apart from being a classy film, D.A.R.Y.L was also an acronym for something - Data Analysing... errr, no idea. Anyone remember?
Anyway, I also read this comment on films of the time and I have to agree.
Bring back 80s films and while you're at it bring back 80s special effects - anyone remember the "Can You Feel It" music video? What a classic.
Well you have to admit, it's certainly one way of stopping media piracy.

star wars came out and science fiction movies were hot. kids movies in the 80s were kind mature natured and the kind of movies suited for adults. serious story lines etc with some sort of adventure. examples Neverending story, Flight of the navigator, the boy who could fly etc
DARYL is another original gem from that time period.
times have change and kids movies today is too much like fairy floss coated in extra sugar.

DARYL was pretty cool, I especially remember the bit near the end when they are making their escape, and the general(?) is looking at the computer screens, and all show fine except for one which briefly flashes up with "I hope we get away with it". Brill :)
