Anonymous asked:

Hey what did u think about Water World? I know it gets a lot of flak but its kinda fun, like a wet mad max

that’s exactly what it is. I liked it as a kid (our summer camp used to do movie outings so I saw this in theatres and it hit me just right. Also owned the VHS so I’d watched it a few times, but not in the last oh, 20 years I think.

This was also my first go at the Ulysses cut (again I’d seen the TV Movie version too, of which this was made from) and it adds a lot of worldbuilding, but also gets a bit more redudant.

Still, fun times. Silly in the sense of what survives and not, as well as the um, uh, science I guess. Silly in the sense of Dennis Hopper’s deranged performance. Really Hooper’s performance is the selling point.

Yes, liked it, with all its flaws. Not better than Mad Max by any stretch but a fun afternoon watch

or in my case spread over 24hrs.....asks Waterworld anon Waterworld Rewatch

Now, should point out that Everest can’t support this kind of ecology now but then again we’ve had magazines that’s survived half a millennia and working cd players (not to mention a working seaplane and car)

Left is original cut, and right is Ulysses Cut. When Deacon steals Enola off of the Mariner’s ship in the Ulysses Cut he also takes the Mariner’s stack of National Geographics (“the acreage!” he gasps) but with that cut out of the original version, instead we get a scene later (after the boat’s been destroyed and is nothing more than a raft) Mariner is going thru his surviving things he still has those magazines secured in a waterproof container (along with Enola’s dry-land drawings that weren’t in the box).

Edit: okay just cut a LOT differenty, they get rescued by Gregor, the inventor scientist in both versions, and meet up with the survivors of the atoll, in the original he’s seen the drawings and goes on to rescue Enola. In the Ulysses Cut he takes one of the survivors boats and goes back to his wreckage and then sees the drawings. He is alone on his wreck when he finds them and the backup stash of natgeos.

Then smokers arrive at the survivors camp (i mean it’s half a dozen small boats lashed together) and that’s why there’s a jetski there.

Look I know I'm blogging this to an audience of one. welcome aboard.Waterworld Waterworld The Ulysses Cut The Ulysses Cut Waterworld Rewatch This movie's fascination with National Geographics magazines....the cuts make this feel very video gamey. I'll come back to your quest later
