#EscapeFromNewYork (1981)
In a dystopian 1997, a soldier-turned-bank robber is tasked with rescuing the U.S. President after he crashes into Manhattan, which has been turned into a giant maximum security prison.
Yay! #RibbobOfMemes has done Escape From New York!
I bet they hate it. I'll have a listen.

I would not assume he is dead.
Trump was in office at the time.
Call me snake.
I was just thinking about Escape form New York and one of the driving elements of that movie is how Snake is infamous and has a reputation and everyone thinks he's dead.
I suppose it works in much the same way as cowboy movies: it is implied that the character is badass more than it is shown to the audience they are.
It's a nice story device because it lets the audience use their imagination -- which is always more vivid than seeing it. But it's also a way of being economic: to not clog the story up with too much back story, and to cut the special effects budget down a bit because you don't need to show the action.
But it makes me wonder if this is something used more in movies than in #books. It's clear the movie industry would adopt any trick that would cut costs, but books don't have to so much.
However, I imagine it's used in books just as much.
Snake Plissken - I thought you were dead? Not if you play the excellent #EscapeFromNewYork he isn't, and especially not if you use the Esoteric Order of Gamers rules & reference!
"Hey babe, wanna escape from New York, and maybe grill some shapeshifting things from outer space ?"
-Erm... yeah, duh !

Wieder #funnyfortnight mit Lottes Inkbuddies:
Snake!
"Call me Snake..."
This evening's viewing distraction takes me into the far, futuristic year of, er, 1997. Restored version of Carpenter's brilliant Escape From New York.
@aenigma Bei Asmodee steht evtl. auch die #DeathMayDie Fortsetzung herum, die ich aber eh schon bestellt haben. Und wenn Pendragon Games da ist, gibt es vielleicht #EscapeFromNewYork zu sehen. Das sind die Leute, die #TheThing gemacht haben und sich nun mit #DieKlapperschlange einen weiteren Kultfilm als Vorlage nehmen.
