I don't care. Period. I asked a question and was given the answer. Don't give a shit what you guys think. It's not willful ignorance if I was asking an honest question and wanted to know the reference. I may have misspoken before, but I know the answer now. Is that really ignorance? I just don't care to consume what Carrousel is reference to.
The only thing from my personal memory of anything related to Logan's Run, was the guy who was Guest Speaker at PAX 2008 opening ceremonies that referenced it a lot.
Here we go again with you guys trying to tell a person if they are geeky/nerdy enough or not.
I saw Logan's Run for the first time just this year. It's not that amazing; there're better geeky films to watch. In the "Weird 70s Sci-Fi" subset of the geek film canon, Tarkovsky's Stalker and Solaris are waaaayyyy better.
Also Ro needlepointed both Yoshi and Nyan Cat sprites, so no one really has a leg to stand on when saying she's not geeky enough. ~_^
It's cool. SquadranROE and I are going to come to an agreement we made on FB. I will eventually watch Logan's Run and he will watch the original Total Recall.
Overall, I think he's getting the most out of this arrangement.

Total Recall is probably the epitome of the 80's-style action movie (it came out in 1990, close enough to count as an 80's action movie IMHO), a genre that I dearly miss.

For me its not about geek cred at all, its about being informed of the source of a refernce, a very CLASSIC source in this case, and getting all butthurt and defensive (and dismissive of the source material) for really no good reason. Maybe you've got a chip on your shoulder because of past discussions here but I'm not privvy to any of that.
Dude, just let it drop. It doesn't matter if someone doesn't know what Carrousel is, or who Salacious Crumb is, or the name of Jayne's favorite gun. We're all geeks, but some are different geeks than others.

He is. Logan's Run is awful.
But in a particularly memorable way. I've seen many awful movies, but I remember Logan's Run: one awful, ruinous jewel apart among a sea.

After all... a man's got to remember.
I disagree that it's awful. It's camp, but not awful.
All of the Planet of the Apes sequels, the original ones, THOSE are awful. Oh God so awful.

That will TOTALLY win them over.
Oh wait.
Seen?

I'm about to do a full out Sailor Moon cosplay at an anime convention this weekend, I think that qualifies me as fairly geeky. :-P
If you don't know, you should listen to the many different podcasts about it, in the following order:
Greatest Movie Ever.
Fast Karate.
ScRym.
That movie has some of the best one-liners that I quote from often.
The reason why I watched it again because the boyfriend never saw it and had to correct this.
