Ah, I love and own the McCloud book. But haven't read the other.
You know, I'm not sure I could stomach Hard Boiled as a film. Might be too Legend of the Overfiend for me, in some ways. Then again, ROBOTS!
Wait, I liked Legend of the Overfiend...
Well, maybe liked isn't the right word. I remember watching it for the first time with my then boyfriend. We watched it with our mouths agape, and sometimes with uncomfortable giggles and wide-eyed stares at each other. After the movie was over, we were quiet for about 30 seconds before we both looked at each other and I said, "Yeah. Totally fvcked up. Disgusting. And yet..."
"Yeah, and yet..."
"Are you aroused? Cause I'm kind of aroused."
"Yeah. Should we be? That's disturbing."
"Yeah, disturbing. But."
"But."
At least, that's pretty much how I remember that conversation going.
