Let us not lose sight of our theme: the total and utter failure of modern Western society, and its aftermath, as per the predictions of the what. We have to get ready. Since he has no solutions, we need to turn to our finest profits, I mean prophets: Hollywoood movie makers.
I suggest, in no special order:
Soylent Green
The entire Mad Max series
The Matrix series (although only the first on is worthy)
The Alien series (the future is extremely depressing, not to mention dangerous)
Escape from New York
Logan’s Run (when you reach 30, they kill you)
Blade Runner
I am Legend (and all of the other movies adapted from the same story)
The Stand
Independence Day
Godzilla (the remake w/ Matthew Broderick, I always hated Madison Square Garden)
The Andromeda Strain
and for good measure, all of the Planet of the Apes movies. Why not, as I said, the future is extremely depressing.
I know there are plenty more, I await your lists.
Shit. JulEp.
Damnit.
Biff- tin foil? Aluminum? Are we making foil hats for movie watching? I usually only wear mine indoors to keep the emanations from TOTO from stealing my thoughts.
bxgrl, I just had to think of a classic structure in a “natural” setting with a surrounding body of water to set up the joke. You know how it goes…
If we do 2-3 films a day we have plenty of time. My big question is can we get enough julep fixin’s to last?
