The 1st Hero of the 21st Century

Saturday night was Movie Night at my friend’s house, which is when we watch a movie outdoors on a video projector. Saturday’s film was Cyborg, staring Jean-Claude Van Damme. What terrible reviews this movie got (here’s Roger Ebert’s review). There was also a lot of snickering when we watched it. Damned if I didn’t admire the movie though. I mean, sure, it’s unintentionally silly and everybody is named after a guitar (something I missed until I read the Wikipedia article), but as far as JCVD movies go… I don’t know. I kind of liked it.
