I saw Oblivion last night. I quite enjoyed it, even though it is preposterous and Tom Cruise is rubbish. Me and my son are wild for Olga Kurylenko, though.
Cruise somehow manages to have a woodland retreat in an otherwise desolate future earth, where he relaxes and does ancient shit like reading books and listening to vinyl records. He has a Duran Duran lp, and plays Led Zep and Procul Harum, although I would have preferred it if he´d played Girls on Film.
Vinyl seems to have moved on from being a signifier for nerdiness and social ineptness, and now it symbolises soulfulness and a noble desire for "real" stuff. Channing Tatum in The Vow is also a vinyl-loving soulful hunk.
Is this good news for us lot? Is a groaning expedit sexier than a bright red Porsche? Does hoarding vinyl mean we are better lovers?
