Logan's Run: Selected Scenes '75 (restoration v2.0) 

You select wisely.

It’s a fun movie. One should not infer any secret messages or things to come. It was made in 1976 life was better then go some anyway. Movies were made for entertainment then.

That is wicked cool. Hope you all got together afterwards for a talkfest. It's always a blast when strangers become friends because of a movie, book, hobby, etc. ✌🏻🐱

@@scotttild I was wondering why...thank you 👍

Thank You I was getting ready to ask where the music was from!

We all did

fair enough / good to know

Yes, Jenny Agutter, what a babe!

I read my paperback into oblivion! Love the movie, too.✌🏻🐱

does ANYONE proofread anymore? lol "suck" a great movie.

...and the watergardens in Fort Worth (worth seeing).

@@ClarenceDoskocil ABSOLUTELY WORTH SEEING!!!

In other words: He got screwed over, by a computer.

@@ADAPTATION7 Exactly

Art predicting the future? Remember, "2001: A Space Odyssey" had HAL ✌🏻🐱

You know, I had forgotten that! Of course, I haven't seen it since 1976, in the theater. I need to watch it again.✌🏻🐱

@@PhoenixLyon HAL Has one of the creepiest lines in movie history. In 2010 HAL is talking to Floyd when HAL mentions he has a message. Basically, you need to leave ASAP. Floyd asks who is sending the message and HAL reads, "I was once David Bowman." (Everyone thinks Bowman is dead) Floyd says he can't accept that ID without proof. HAL says, "The response is, 'I understand. It is important that you believe me. look behind you." It's pretty clear Floyd never expected "Bowman" to provide any proof. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hJS3R1Z2HeI.html

Something tells me that the 1970s science-fiction movies predicted what’s gonna happen in the 2020s. 👀

No, they don't. Imagine what the quality of contemporary screen writers and the demands made of them from today's society would make of a reboot of this classic.

@@CaesarWarrington we definitely don’t want that. Still a reboot staying true to the original story would be nice.

Well, it was supposed to be a parable about the youth culture of my generation. We are now all well past 30 and have turned into shrill mockeries of our parents, actively disenfranchising the poor and powerless, shrugging at injustice, advocating nationalism and war, and destroying the world that we once declared we would save. There may be something to be said for a society that doesn't allow people the chance to go back on their principles.

Falcy must have a mouse in his pocket. He said 'we'. That doesn't describe me.

@@falcychead8198 The slogans. They burn.

Heck, yeah!

It's inside the human body. This is my favorite movie also

I would hate a world without animals!But I wonder if humans will eventually take steps to limit the population or will they b destroyed first?

@@susanmccormick6022 population control is inevitable and so is our self destruction my friend. I just pray the future people work out a way to cope.

@@susanmccormick6022 Covid Jabs

@@coventrypunx1014 shut up!!!

They did it was called The Island I believe with Ewan Mcgregor they just added a organ transplant subplot.

Definitely not Jar Jar Abrams or Ruin Johnson!

Thank you. I've been wondering who did the narration.

He must have been asking himself 'what the heck am I even reading?'

As I saw it when it was first released in the Theaters, that is what the guys thought. all these years later, Jenny still measures up.

You should see her in Equus and Walkabout.

These are all clips from the actual movie. As the title says.. Selected Scenes. (and not Deleted Scenes)

@@oldowl4290 yeah, no, some were different

@@phonotical like what??

​@@oldowl4290like the scene where Francis shoots the runner who falls into the fountain for starters.

Thats the robot’s line isnt it? 😂

Actually, it's fish, plankton, sea greens and protein from the sea. Fresh as harvest day! You identified the most best meme from the film. :)

@@mikealexander1935 It sounds like I slightly misidentified it then :O

Watching this I saw a selection for the audio book. I can't give you the link, but you know it exists.

Thanks, Steve!

@@Greathall75 I mean, it’s perfect in every way..!

Story has been thrown out for advanced CGI effects....no need to bog an audience down with things to think about when you can just wow them with visuals. Thanks, Hollywood. Thanks a lot.

I can think of a couple good scifi Movies, "Silent Running", and "Event Horizon", "Contact" was also pretty good.✌🏻🐱

@@scotttild Check my channel. I have a fairly good reconstruction of that scene w/Boxx.

The Blu-ray looks good (much better than the DVD) but it doesn't include any of the deleted scenes.

I'm sick to DEATH of REBOOTS!!! 😝 Why the HELL Hollywood can't come up with something original is beyond me! Maybe we need to subject a few writers and producers to "carousel" to inspire them!

@@lelandframe1029 At one time I might have suggested "Alas Babylon", but I guess it wouldn't have the same effect now. People don't fear nuclear annihilation, the Soviets are gone, and race relations are better, or were until recently. It was a popular book once with printings over decades, but didn't get beyond a radio play and audiobook. They can never stay true to the book anyway. Originality with quality may be a thing of the past. Everything is formula.

It was a game changer for sure.

back then, bras weren't worn. those were the days

Thanks, Thomas! The restoration was labor of love. ♥

I'll say. Back then I watched this in crappy quality 4x3 formatting on a crappy TV. It looks phenomenal on the big screen (I have an Ultra-wide screen and it filled it up perfectly)

I suppose it helps keep order as you can say that people that didn't reach the ring weren't worthy.

Glad you enjoyed it!

kinda. but, this was never meant to be a trailer.

This is a screener for theater owners ....

Seriously! I remember I watched the trailer for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly last year because of the Mandalorian trailer done in that style... the famous hidden armor scene is in the trailer ^^;;

Wrath of Khan is the best movie ever made.

@@springbloom5940 I like Wrath of Khan too. I haven't watched it in ages though.

that's probably pretty accurate. the roman colosseum was infested with cats at one point, so i figure it's entirely plausible.

Logan's Run was released June of 76. Star Wars May 77. A year apart. I remember the miniature city work got a lot of praise at the Oscars. Got an award.

@@Gerry1of1 Easy to confuse things back then. First run films would run a while and then turn up on double bills in second-run houses. A year is close enough for actual overlap. Earlier they would be in those second-run venues for years. I remember seeing some mid sixties films like Zulu on double bills with something released three years later.

SW is a fantasy not sci fi

@@699088g Because space ships and aliens aren't sci-fi ? Sci-Fi is a kind of fantasy.

@@Gerry1of1 science fiction fans have been arguing about these definitions for most of a century. People who make a point of Star Wars not being sci-fi are making a judgement that it is "bad science fiction"... which it is. But it is good space fantasy, a sub-genre that used to cover planetary romance and carelessly written space opera. I suppose that since most SF film is bad SF, we just call anything where the magic is accomplished with sciency looking gadgets--si-fi. If the wands are real wands instead of blasters and the teleportation/time travel is accomplished with spells... Then it's fantasy.

One cat WAS harmed in the making of this film. ...Oops.

That's funny because I thought the exact same thing then I saw Logan's Run a few years later and snapped my fingers.

@@matthewestrada407 you saw Austin Powers first too?

@@ryeguy7941 no I saw Logan's Run I was born in the 70's but when I saw basil I couldn't put my finger on it until year's later 🤣

@@matthewestrada407 oh ok, I was born in 96 so grew up with the Austin Powers movies, didn't really see Logan's Run all the way through till about 2010.

@@ryeguy7941 it's very dated to be honest but I read the book finally and it was great, as a kid the carousel scene spooked the heck out of me though.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

This huevetz is a sicko.

Nothing new at the moment.

They would ruin it, like everything else.

I agree that it aged well. Many of its themes and philosophies is still relevant today in 2022z.

I have never understood why women want to make themselves ugly, especially attractive women.

@@MichaelSHartman Why are men so arrogant? The world doesn’t revolve around *you*. Woman don’t base their decisions on how they look based on what *you* find attractive. There are other men and women out there who find tattooed, pierced, butch women more attractive. But here’s a shocking revelation for you: it’s doesn’t matter who finds what attractive; the only opinion that matters is the person deciding whether to die their hair, get a tattoo or a piercing, or to dress butch.

What a shock. A mainstream motion picture from the 70s catering to mainstream audiences with 70s sensibilities. I honestly don’t even know what your point is.

@@JeantheSecond If you told me women don't care about a man's appearance, and say whatever makes him happy, I would call you a liar. Women are more critical than men. If a once handsome man was 400 lbs, had tattoos on his face, pierced his lips, nose, and tongue, had long hair, and went around in sweats passed a group of women, they would be tearing him apart on the threshold of hearing. If the guy needed money, knives would fly. If a quiet nice girl to the side wondered why he let himself go, or get in that shape, I wouldn't blame her. When you get old, and wrinkled, you realize what you have lost however small that was. It is so temporary. You see a young person male or female destroy that without thought, you shake your head, and wonder why. I will bet money you will lose that high and mighty attitude one day.

@@MichaelSHartman 😂 “high and mighty attitude” What nonsense. I’m 47 years old. My days of being are cute long over. It’s nice not having men harassing me. Other than that, there is nothing different about my life. Not everyone is shallow.

Saw that.

It's already here! Been here since before the virus.

They'd only screw it all up

Why? Nothing wrong with it!

Saved $$ on sets that way.✌🏻🐱

1975 man. Not a high budget film. Sci fi wasn't what it is now. I'd say forget about all that. Just try ti enjoy the story.

@@infini1970 This was not a low budget film at all ( 9 million dollars ) and had the most advanced special effects to date at that time. Star Wars came out only a year later, and the budget was 11 million dollars. Star Wars had way more going on in special effects, nothing like it before.

@@RAREFORMDESIGNS Cool! interesting info thank you. I do think the point though is maybe enjoy the context and see it for what it is as a special effects film from that time. It's a great story. Many of us that grew up in the 70's loved this movie. Shit I even watched the TV series lol. But It's surely dated now.

@@RAREFORMDESIGNS Remember though, Lucas had to invent a lot of those sf/x, hence the birth of Industrial Light and Magic. Logan's Run was more of a 'look out, this may be the future'. Some things to think about.✌🏻🐱

I'd be interested to know the name of it.

@@fredsilvers1427 Logans Run.

This is weird: I never recall hearing the term flame-out. Like it didn't make the original cut, but only in the trailer.

Check the video description.

She had a very small part. However, she shot this right before hitting it big on Charlie's Angels, so they always hyped her up whenever the film aired on TV.

Many settings in the movie exist as fairly loose adaptations of segments of the original novel, without the context that explained why such areas existed. In the novel, Cathedral was a burned-out and abandoned section of Los Angeles (which was the primary setting rather than a nameless City) controlled by drug-fueled youth gangs - so dangerous that even Sandmen mostly left it to itself. The desolate and ruined state of that area (and others visited during Logan's Lastday travels) was a symptom of the slow deterioration of the computer system that ran the world - it had been set up before the mandatory death sentence at age 21, but by the time of the book no one had the computer expertise to properly maintain it. The Sanctuary network used these areas outside of the computer's control as way-stations to keep runners off the tracking grid and out of the sights of Sandmen.

@@Vektorix28205 That's one of the big problems of adapting a book for a movie. You may even have something explained but in editing the explanation is cut, leaving a mystery, like why an abandoned section of a city is left abandoned even when space is desperately limited. There was an episode of SG-1 that had a somewhat similar story line. They found a small community living under an energy dome on a planet with a very toxic atmosphere. Under the dome everything was nice. They even had everyone linked to the central computer so everyone had access to whatever information they needed. But the power supply was failing, forcing the computer to shrink the area protected by the dome. To make room some member of the community would be compelled to leave the dome, where they would die just outside. Everyone else would have their memory modified so the person who left would be erased from memory. Terrifying concept, but the computer wasn't evil. It was just following it's programing coming up with a solution that would allow the computer to keep as many people as possible alive and happy for as long as possible. No one could fix the computer because no one had the knowhow (though the know how existed in the computer itself) but also, the computer fixed it so no one even know there was a problem. The SG-1 team fixed the power supply, but I remember one of the main characters in the episode had a wife that he could not remember. It was a deeply disturbing episode, especially when you realize the computer had no malicious intent. It had been programmed to keep everyone alive and happy as long as possible. Knowing your protective dome is shrinking and members of your community were being killed as a result would have made the people unhappy. It was just carrying out its program in the best way it could. I think the same is true for the computer in Logan's Run. Same story in 2001. HAL was not evil. He was just trying to find a solution to a problem. Computers do not usually consider moral dilemmas. Of course, a clever computer programmer would know that computers will fail sooner or later, and they should program to computer to teach the humans how to maintain it, and why they should. They described Box as an "evil robot" but like the others, Box was just doing what it had been programmed to do. One sort of food stuff stopped coming, and a new sort of food stuff started coming. What is a Box to do?

Might be good if they went with the original story where the death age was 21 instead of 30 plus no domed city, but the whole world followed the death age (no renewal just death) and was the playground of the people, except the Serengeti which was used for executing runners (if not shot first) by tribesman on giant ants (if my memory serves me right). Francis turned out to be Ballard, the leader of Sanctuary which was off world somewhere (Mars orbit?) I really must reread the books.

Will you be attending Carousel this evening?

@@lukenuetzmann Why yes, I have reached the top of my wage scale, according to this red flashing jewel in the palm of my had, I hope to Ascend to Eau Claire..

You won't be disappointed.
