Well.. I guess... MLP is a "gateway" series to get youth into Steampunk.

Re: Film

A few similar trappings does not steampunk make.

On a serious note, I feel that the contrasts caused by the industrial revolution vs agrarian society and the conflict of class are salient characteristics of both the real world historical Victorian era and the steampunk genre. That's where the "punk" lies; in the struggle.

Every era has its struggle. Dieselpunk, for example, is the contrast of world ideologies; fascism vs communism, workers' rights vs capitalistic ogliarchy in the midst of the cold war/ww2.

Cyberpunk's conflicts were media driven corporate domination vs the free will of the masses, with the pressures of population growth and dwindling resources.

'punk is about struggle. Drama is about conflict.

Re: Film

Well stumbled across this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...of_Brisco_County,_Jr

"While ostensibly a Western, the series routinely includes elements of the science fiction and steampunk genres."


Been a long time since that was around. Having steampunk in it combined with Bruce Campbell, well that sounds fun enough to see about tracking down.

Murdock Mysteries

Has the odd steam punk or at least too-early-tech ideas crop up at times.

Re: Film

Recently watched Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp playing a Victorian gentleman vampired and boxed the 1960s. Interesting view on behaviours and the changed morales. Also just fun.

Re: Film

Huge youtube play list of "period" pieces

https://www.youtube.com/playli...YJnlaeWMqluu_LR60TdB

Some Victorian, some Georgian. Lots of different takes on films like Dracula, Jeykll & Hyde and so on.

Re: Film

With the recent passing of actor Sir Christopher Lee I started to look into some of his films I had not seen before.  Surprised to find out he was a Frankenstien Monster with actor Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstien. In fact Peter Cushing did several films with Hammer Productions as Frankensien. Only two have a linked story. All of them have a portrayal of period activities and a different take on "steampunk" and the "monster".

Re: Film

I just watched Alice Through the Looking Glass and I do have to say I very much enjoyed all the clock work elements.  Overall I found it very imaginative and the effects were beautiful of course, the period sets and costumes.  I liked it, I don't care what the critics say.  Was it perfect, no, but it was an interesting story interpretation.

My Mother.. as I am on the wrong side of a century myself that is saying something.  Didn't want to see it as she said rather then being like a dream it seemed more a nightmare.  While I have to agree I liked it myself.

Re: Film

Love & Robots on Netflix has a good steampunk Japanese fable called "Good Hunting".  Definite R rating though.
