What's it called?

Soylent Green often shows up on these kinds of lists. I remember Wall-E reminded me of Soylent Green, Silent Running, and Logan's Run.

Hahahaha, did you really catch Moon at the Little? Was it your idea-... it was your wife's idea? If it wasn't two in the morning over there, this would net you a phone call.

You used to like science fiction. We used to be brothers.

Can you tell the story of when you and I watched Run, Lola, Run that one time? I recall it made you fantastically angry, like you turned into a gorgon or something. Ha ha ha! I think everyone would appreciate the recap, especially Sarge, who contributed valuably to the BBS and you responded with rot-13.

Soylent Green is a far and away better picture than both Logan's Run (trippy disco future with a muddled storyline!) and Silent Running (Trumbull loves him some special effects!). It's the kind of SF film noir that didn't show back up until Blade Runner.

I don't remember the specifics. We watched Run, Lola, Run. You were confused or something because you thought it was a time-travel movie. I became enraged.

Something like that.

I still haven't seen Moon yet, but I finally saw Silent Running. It took 3 tries because I fell asleep the first two times. That's less of a statement toward the movie and more that I've just really been exhausted from all the travel and there wasn't a lot to keep me going during the movie. I did enjoy it though.

I watched "Source Code" last week. It was a decent sci-fi Groundhog Day ripoff, with a terrible tacked-on ending. Overall, pretty disappointing. And then I realized... it was the second film of Duncan Jones, who made Moon!

Well, how about that! He took a step backwards, I'm afraid.
