Vintage roller skate films
On last weekend, I watched two really old roller skate films. First Rollerball from 1975. Frightening! And then, on a lighter note, Charly Chaplin's "The Rink". He was quite a capable roller skater! Just imagine what he would have done in our times ...

I have a copy of Rollerball. Fantastic science fiction. It is more of a social study. Frighteningly, it appears that we are headed the way that movie predicts. Big companies are taking over the world, and the governments of the world. Take a page out of Isaaic Asimov's Psychohistory and voila! 'Rollerball'

Indeed. Soccer, Bicycling, the Olympics, ... The parallels are striking.

Yes, we have allowed economy to take first seat. Economy should be there to serve the people. Instead it is the other way round. But I think we still have some way to go till there are only six mega companies left.

: I need to rent the orig Rollerball. Some inliners I know were in the remake, which sucked.... too bad.
: btw...Charlie is an Aries born the year of the Ox, just like me! He lived out his life in Switzerland. I too, have such dreams.

I've also got a copy of the remake but liked the original much more.

Oh wow. That would not be too far of me.

 The original is the only one as far as I am concerned.

Biff, Biff, Biff!
The more I learn about you, the more I LIKE you! Asimov, huh? A student of Hari Seldon are you? LOL! We're nerds, my friend....but that's ok. I think it's currently cool to be a nerd.
Hope you're gonna make it to RollerCon, Bro. It's going to be a Blast!
Oh & I too, vastly prefer, the Original.
Have a great weekend!
PEACE.......................Jay
