See you at the party, Richter!

Total Recall.
Surely, the is no better sci-fi action movie out there. Its hard to compete with a movie that has the hero use an innocent bystander as a human shield within the first 20 minutes. Also, its seems these days you don't often see intensely grotesque puncture wounds to the neck or face outside of the torture porn genre. Even then, its all sacrificial lamb shit with none of the feel good intensity you get when it happens ot a bad guy or henchman (or scientist in this case). Even the cheesey one liners seem better than normal in this movie. "consider that a divorce" after shooting your wife in the head, and "screw you" while murdering and man driving a drilling machine with a hand held drill, are just some of the examples.
Then theres the whole mnd fuck. was Quaid actually just living out his mars fantasy provided by recall, or was it really all just a conincidence? but at recall they showed Melina's face, and the one tech said "blue sky on Mars, that's a new one". Was it real? I don't know! what about what the guy from recall said? or was he from recall? maybe Cohagen did hire him to mess with Quaid/Houser.
Dang.

I'm never gonna get to sleep.
