 oh shit I will need to watch but after the kid is asleep 
 If you haven't seen it in a long time you'll be like whaaaaaa

If you haven't seen it ever don't watch it because it's the end of the movie 
 ok will wait, never saw it before 
 Yeah man just watch the whole movie it's a classic 
 Yes 
 Never understood how RoboCop’s armor deflects high caliber gunfire but  That 70’s Show dad impales him with a metal stake and the force of gravity. Oh well. 
 Right??? 

Like it's it titanium fiberglass and rubber?? 

Or is this fucking aluminum Edward Neumeier??  
 Also, is his forehead just skull, or is the face just slapped on some hardware like a piece of salami? 

Always thought his head was a major vulnerability. 
 I think it's slapped on metal. They saved his brain eyes and spinal chord they didn't say anything about his face. So my head canon is that it was an afterthought 

Like 3-4 months in of making a robot with eyes and they're like uhhhhh can we excuse the body and get the face here? This is don't uncanny valley shit 
 Yeah all this being said, love that movie. 

Also, big Paul Verhoeven fan in general. 
 Good taste. Paul Verhoeven. Where I went to college there's a giant blue pyramid where we have our basketball court. 

The railings were the school and a bunch of urban center pieces in starship troopers🤷🏽

My school was pretty cool. Normal university but also a film school. The same pyramid was in power rangers

And I'm in a couple episodes of Dexter (which is why you never see sunsets in Dexter except for once and it looks awful, because ca is on the opposite side of the states from Miami so the sun and the city should be opposite🤷🏽) accidentally because they were shooting whole I was attending🤷🏽

 Cool :) the original power rangers film rollerblading intro was shot in Sydney. As a kid, I loved rollerblading where they did. I also once set my phone notifications to the power rangers watch ⌚️ sound. Always thought it was funny when people around me recognised it, like at work or on a bus :) yep zordon calling…

 No way :) so awesome! 
 It's some library for a college for Jewish people deep in the party of la where no one goes🤷🏽

And it was basically abandoned. It was on a hill and like the road to get up was so fucked. But the university was lower down and easy to get to and had another more modern library🤷🏽 my friend drove us in her Nissan z (up that rocky dirt road) and made an excuse to get us in at the bottom of the hill already. I would never have been able to see zordon's house in person probably or even thought to, if she wasn't so fucking determined to see "the eye cult building from" some psychic TV show? I can't think of the name but on TV not that long ago. Same era as like Monk. 

But uh yeah. I had to be like "what are you talking about?" *Watches episode* "EXCUSE ME? THAT'S ZORDON'S HOUSE"  
 🤭 
 IT DOES EXIST 👀
