Hi, everyone! Tonight, on Mastodon, I will be hosting the #TubiThursday watch party! Join us for Logan’s Run (1976)!
You can find the movie on Tubi and you can join us on Mastodon at 9 pm central time! (That’s 10 pm for you folks on the East Coast.) We will be using #TubiThursday hashtag! See you then!
I always enjoy it when good actors go totally over-the-top and that is certainly the case with today’s scene that I love. In 1976’s Logan’s Run, the normally very reserved Michael York tries to let the people of the City know that “you can live! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!”
Actually, as much as I enjoy York’s performance here, what truly makes the scene memorable is the way that everyone just ignores him and shuffles off to “renewal,” despite Logan’s attempts to convince them that they “don’t have to DIE!” Logan’s Run is often dismissed as being a campy but enjoyable sci-fi film but, in this scene, we get a good portrayal of what a brainwashed populace truly looks like.
4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!
Today, let us take a look back at a classic cinematic year. It’s time for….
4 Shots From 4 1976 Films
Taxi Driver (1976, dir by Martin Scorsese, DP: Michael Chapman)
Logan’s Run (1976, dir by Michael Anderson, DP: Ernest Laszlo)
Carrie (1976, dir by Brian De Palma, DP: Mario Tosi)
The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976, dir by Nicholas Roeg, DP: Anthony Richmond)

105 years ago today, Michael Anderson was born in London. Anderson may have never become a household name but he directed some memorable movies. Around The World in 80 Days proved that audiences love spectacle and celebrity cameos and it won the Oscar for Best Picture of 1956. (Though Anderson was nominated for best director, the award went to George Stevens for Giant.) However, I think that Anderson’s best-remembered film is probably Logan’s Run. Whenever I shout, “I hate outside!” or I reply to a simple question with, “There is no sanctuary,” people always seem to automatically know which film I’m referencing. Anderson followed up Logan’s Run with Orca, which is one of the better Jaws rip-offs.
Today, we honor the career and legacy of Michael Anderson with….
