They’re just movies!

One thing Blade Runner got wrong - Pan Am didn’t survive till 2019 Yeah, they went bankrupt sometime after 2001. Those Orions were notoriously expensive to operate.

Solent Green should be
The “Flag Ship” for
This Hoax called Global warming.

This movie can also be a parallel to abortion baby harvesting. Is the left getting us prepared for the unfathomable?? Do we really know where all those baby parts are going?? IMO - I think not!
Soylent Green was humans being turned into food when they died conveniently or on purpose. The people didn’t know it until Charleton Heston discovers the dirty little secret!

Both are a wild stretch. Easily, a lot of movies can be described as “prophetic”
However, I’m not looking forward to “The Day After”

"This article is stupid. It claims the forest fires in California are caused by pollution.”
True that. In every scene in "Blade Runner" it's friggin rainin. Like it was in Seattle and not L.A.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Flying cars won’t be allowed. If someone can destroy entire skyscrapers with hijacked jet airliners, they aren’t going to have everyone having their own flying car that can be used as a weapon of mass destruction with all the damage a fast moving airborne vehicle could do. It’s far more likely that you will see elevated trains or escalator tunes above the streets.

Or Mad Max for that matter.

I have come to understand that it takes a special kind of obtuse and obstinate stupidity to become a reporter in the first place.

Probably the best scene HF was ever in, IMHO. Made all the better because HF was silent.
I am still awed by how much beauty and raw emotion was conveyed in those few words, delivered by a master of his art.

I read the *.pdf online, and that’s a bad time for all.

The movie Demolition Man was made in 1993. The cryogen prison where Stallone is being held has another famous criminal there; Scott Peterson. Peterson killed Laci and Connor in 2003? Was there something to this we didn’t know?
And this will fry your noodles. Minority Report with Tom Cruise came out in 2002. They could of used that technology and captured Scott Peterson before he killed Laci and Connor. But the Cryoprison had him.
I submit that Peterson was the wrong person arrested and sent to cryoprison.

I watched “Demolition Man” the other night. It got a lot right.

Idiocracy was a better prognosticator than Blade Runner or Running Man.
