It is about time somebody imortalized Robert Duval in Lego form. Great movie, great vignette Prof, but without the standardized footprint, is it really a vignette? In any event, it is cool and a nice tribute to THX.

Ok, I’m an idiot, I see the footprint...but shouldn’t the police uniforms be black? And were’nt the visors silver? Don’t hit me with your baton Prof.

Hey Prof,

I’ve never seen the movie, so I wasn’t sure I liked the extreme whiteness, until I did a quick google search and saw the inspiration:



I think you captured that scene perfectly. blogged

hahahahhahahaha,

no.

Go visit Blockbuster. You’ll need to find the VHS tape I’m sure. Be sure to grab a few beers, it’ll help.

I just saw it tonight too, crazy!  What did you think?  I thought it was
great, even if I'm going to have to watch it again to try and understand
anything.  Seeing BART in there was a treat.  :)

Now I want to re-do my apartment again.  And put in announcements that are
constantly and quietly echoing off the walls.  In espiranto.

Oh that was Gattaca.

:)

I’m sure it was a momentary lapse, but we’ll adjust your prescription just in case. The uniforms were indeed black, but the visors were small and black like the beak of a cap, and the masks were silver. I still await the production of a chrome-plated minifig head... I’ve added some builder’s notes to the MOC page to save further explanation.

Oh, and I wouldn’t think of tainting my baton in such a manner...

Peace and batons, Professor Whateverly

It was even better than I'd expected, and I knew it was a classic. There were
some great moments of humour, too. BART was almost completed when they filmed,
so they had access to things they could never get to now. Talk about being in
the right place at the right time.

Peace and deserted mass transit, Professor Whateverly

Thanks Bruce,

That featureless white expanse was a striking image from the movie. Few directors could go there and pull it off. It seemed the perfect thing to take an 8x8 chunk out of to depict as a vignette. The one pic of just the base could be any scale, and that led me to think of the solitary scene in a new way. So now I bring you the smallest vignette thus far: The 2x2 THX1138 vignette. Minimalism to the max.



Peace and shrinking, Professor Whateverly
