I don’t know much about this genre, but Steve Greaves’ concise and delicious writing style have aroused my curiousity for sure.

Love mid century modern. The style, the freedom, the philosophy, the prosperity. Playboy before Hugh Hefner sold out to the Postmoderns. Science fiction before the Malthusian backlash.

Perhaps you should have mentioned “The Incredibles” as the best retro-modernist movie to date, but I’d love to see more of “Yuki 7″.

Interesting trailer!

I’ve written this elsewhere but I think one of the (many) reasons we haven’t seen any genuinely good/pro-U.S. movies about the current war(s) is that, given the people we’re fighting and the environment in which we’re fighting them, the conventions of the genre would have to be thrown out the window. The femme fatale? She’ll have to be covered from head to toe to fit in. A spy sneaking into a terrorist compound to get the lay of the land? Nope. Now they’ll just fly UAVs around the area. There’s nothing sexy or suave about this stuff.

Of course, a talented writer could probably figure something out.
