I think one of the members of Rosaria’s gang is wearing Gargoyles, a deeply 80s brand that were like a more industrial precursor to Oakleys made popular by the first Terminator movie and failed NFL player turned failed action star Brian Bosworth. I desperately wanted a pair of Gargoyles as a child and briefly had a saved ebay search for a pair. Thankfully that search never turned up anything for a price I was willing to spend because I’m pretty sure I would’ve looked extremely stupid wearing them.
I love this movie — it’s such a seminal piece in the cyberpunk genre. Pure genius. And the fashions are perfect…all the Uber chic sunglasses are just the cherry on top! I went for the Oliver Peoples Gregory Pecks at first, then found some killer Mondelliani frames that were even better but after 8-years, lost em. Harsh bummer, to say the least but it’s a great opportunity for me to update my look with some new replacements.
Wait... Is the shooting a circle around yourself to escape through the floor bit, what inspired a similar scene for Kate Beckinsale's Selene in Underworld?

This movie rules.
I just watched parts of this on tubi. Kind of artistically refreshing to watch something so poorly written and directed.
This newsletter sometimes feels like a 5,000 word “I Think You Should Leave” sketch.
