Anyone who plays Fallout needs to watch this film, it was one of the primary sources. Not just Dogmeat and the vaults, but the glowing ones, 1950s idealism, and other aspects were basically directly taken from the film.

So that's the line Jones put in and Ellison hated. Must say it was a great line. Better than the final line in the book : "Do you know what love is?" "Sure I know. A boy loves his dog." (too ambiguous). Jones' version makes it obvious what happened to her. Especially when they both laugh with the darkly funny double entendre "good taste" line.

Bukowski Drunk he was a hero to a certain degree. Vic may have not been a good person and had no moral compass, but he didn’t know any better and lived in that cruel environment his whole life where survival of the fittest was key. Quilla June was shrewd and manipulative and lived in a sterile, hypocritical, and controlled environment with a cross between 1984 and the early 1900’s midwest. She had intentions to use him to overthrow the council and try to make him think she was forced into doing this. I laughed at her fate after she joined Vic in the real world and forced out of that environment.

When the last line dropped everybody stayed silent for a couple second, looking at each other with different nuances of bemused puzzlement on our faces, slowly started grinning and burst out laughing. One of my best moviegoing experience.

Need to go back and reread/rewatch soon now. Man you always make me want to go back and rewatch some of these classics. So many of the movies you review are unappreciated gems, the kind that my dad and I used to hunt down at Blockbuster for our, bad movie nights.

Ellison is wrong. It is one of the greatest closing lines of any movie ever. From what I understand , "Bloods" performance is so good because they spent a good amount of time transferring the dogs responses from his trainer to Don Johnson. That way he's actually responding to Johnson as opposed to staring out of frame like so many animal actors. The first time in his life he was going through writers block? When he wrote THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER for STAR TREK the producers actually locked him in an office till he produced enough pages. Also, are you a closet STAR TREK geek? (I'm not casting aspersions, I certainly am). But you seem to be avoiding his experience on that show as part of his dislike of being rewritten. I'm not a writer (I'm a stupid actor) but I know a lot of writers & I think they would all admit to having writers block from time to time. Hell, Mark Twain admitted to it.

Mark Twain had sense of auto-irony and a keen appreciation of his own shortcomings, having episodes of writer block being the lesser of his sins he admitted (writing news out of whole cloth when it was a slow period for his newspaper was a bit graver in my book...).

Another great installment in your "Exploring" series.

I saw "A Boy and his Dog" on cable or home video back in the 80's and I'm definitely glad I did. It still stand up as a great piece of 70's science fiction. You dug up some great behind-the-scenes info that even a fan couldn't know. No wonder you're the first channel I check when I find myself at You Tube - Thanks for educating all us Good Bad fans.

Harlan Ellison is one of my favorite writers, and I love his straight forward, hot-headed contempt for anything he deemed illogical. He was like the real life version of Dr. House, or Jackson Lamb. Unfortunately, much of his work wouldn't be appreciated by modern audiences, and A Boy and His Dog is probably on a list somewhere awaiting political sanitation.

L.Q. Jones reportedly made this movie for $20,000. How he pulled this off in 1974 was brilliant! He took a wasteland desert near Barstow, California to make it look like a post WW4 nuclear wasteland and Arroyo Verde Park in Ventura to make it look like an underground society of robotic conformists and artificial environment and it worked! Only problem: the underground inhabitants were all healthy from a lack of sunlight and ate bananas, apples, and sandwiches with the crusts cut off. Where did the food come from and get produced? And many wore 70’s glasses. Where did they get a place to make them?

Harlan Ellison's one of my favorite writer's. If you liked the movie, check out the original short story

Hey, does anybody remember an Ellison story about a couple of nerds who work hard to make the football team, and they find out about a secret ritual the team does where they gather around a sacred statue and chant?

Ellison, and this movie, don't get near the credit deserved, for influencing so many different forms of media. Also, being of the quality that each generation has a different idea of what it means, yet it's always important enough, to either praise it greatly, or think it's the ultimate display, of misogynistic art.

I just finished watching it. I can see the parallel of the Down Under to the Vaults. However I was reminded more of Bioshock Infinite's Columbia.

The last line in the movie is "Well, I'd say she certainly had marvelous judgement, Albert, if not particularly good taste". Because he ate the girl.

The ending was one of the best parts, so I have to disagree with Ellison. That line is why me and a friend love this movie because it was so out of nowhere that the two of us were laughing in shock for a few minutes.

There's a correction, Wasteland was made by the original creators of Fallout after they lost the rights.
@deanolium

Other way around. Wasteland was an old 8bit RPG made in the 80s. One of the guys involved in that then produced fallout in the 90s as a thematic sequel to wasteland. However the main guy who designed Fallout (Tim Cain) had little to do with Wasteland
