If I ever get to see him at one of those Robocop screenings I’m going to ask him if he was ever contacted by WCW to make an appearance for that awful Robocop angle.

Nice bit of trivia! I didn't know they shared a b-day. I'll get her next year if I'm still kicking.

If you’ve never seen Screamers, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s a sci fi horror cult classic that I never heard of till recently. I discovered this gem and it blew my mind. The rottentomatoes ratings don’t do this movie justice at all.

Screamers is based on a Philip K Dick short story like Total Recall. I don't remember if the short story was called Screamers or if it had a different title. The story that Total Recall was called, We Can Remember It for You, Wholesale.

If you haven't seen The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai, definitely do it. It is completely insane but in the best way.

I own it. And Robocop. That would make a great double feature actually.

Oh I figured I meant to the larger audience. But hell yeah that is a great back to back watch. Throw in Screamers in there for the trifecta of greatness.

Yes. My bad. It's been a long day. I gotta get Screamers, haven't seen it in many years.

He was in Star Trek: Enterprise playing the leader of a human supremacist group called Terra Prime. It was supposed to be a parallel to the Neo Nazis.

Underrated gem of an actor. I wish he got more roles.

Wild film, and book.

Fkappa@reddit

The movie is actually taken from parts of the book + it's more like how Burroughs wrote the book. Both are wild, anyways.

You do know you can get the buckaroo bonzai patches online now? I eventually want to have a jacket with all of them sewn on.

It could be for sure, but I'm not a big guitar guy so don't really know. There are a lot of Japanese elements in the film.

Just watched him in [Leviathan](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097737/) (1989) a few weeks ago https://preview.redd.it/h2nokg1lyv8f1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=957df181acbdadf64f813ea0f096bd15755c4049

Nice guy I got to know well when we lived near one another in Manhattan circa 2000. He did an [AMA recently over on Art History](https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtHistory/comments/1izry9c/im_dr_peter_weller_actordirectormusician_with_a/) because he now has a PhD in Italian Renaissance art.
