tell me your favorite tidbits of trivia from either movie 
i thought they were both amazing. fuckin cant believe it took me this long to watch Verhoven's masterpiece. i don't know anything about the director for JL but i thought it was really good too. there were a few scenes that sent chills down my spine and that shit doesn't usually happen to me tbh :o
spoiler
the scene where Jezebel goes "is anyone in there!?" scared the living shit out of me
You should play the game too. Robocop: Rouge City. Peter Weller did the voice acting. It's like a spiritual sequel to the OG. 89% positive reviews!
I enjoyed the humour in the overt and covert nods to end stage crap-it-all-ism in the near future. The dehumanizing of it's victims. Verhoven was way ahead of his time.
Haven't seen Jacob's Ladder.
Jacobs ladder had quite a few more scenes in it that were cut because test audiences found them too disturbing, theres a whole extra sequence between the meeting with the chemist and him returning home that you can find in the deleted scenes on youtube. Honestly I always thought that the demons and horror elements were creative, but ultimately a bit tame. The intro is really strong with the subway bit and all the anti-drug posters, and then the car scene is fantastic but after that the whole thing kind of loses steam with the kid and ex-wife dream sequence. It was too grounded to be a surrealist film but also too surreal to be a grounded film, it could have done with being trimmed of the ending and dead kid story and focused more on the other story lines.
Also Tim Robbins has the most unconvincing fake laugh in the movie I've ever heard.
I need to rewatch Jacobs Ladder its been forever. My lady will absolutely hate it though so I'll watch it next time I have Gaming anhedonia.
