So why (and where) should we “VOTE ROBO?” Brian Villalobos wrote an impassioned treatise on why Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 sci-fi action masterpiece deserves a hallowed spot in the Library of Congress.
For RoboCop’s underground propaganda campaign I was inspired by the grimy, worn exteriors of the movie, or maybe a more colorful version of the urban wasteland of my favorite film of 2006, Children of Men (which should have won Best Picture that year, damn it!).
Anyway, the VOTE ROBO poster was created by local artist Beto Gonzales (partly inspired by Obey Giant’s Obama print), and the other posters and wall detritus are visual references to past Current covers that also had something to do with posters or flyers (namely, our Summer Guide and Music Issue). Look close for tiny “I Own You. Turn it Off!” stickers as well.
If you don’t think RoboCop should be preserved in the Library of Congress, you obviously never saw the scene below. Thought-provoking! Vote Robo.
