It’s a cookbook. From dust to dessert.

Haven’t seen BRAZIL,,

SOYLENT GREEN was/is totally a Classic!

Assisted Suicide - (do the world a favor) Edward G. Robinson’s nice old man roled

into a meatburger. Also, they were working on Soylent Brown. The father on ‘8 is

Note: Brazil has nothing to do with the country Brazil. The best I can say is that it was an excellent dystopian view of the madness and insanity in mankind’s society. Especially the acceptance of bureaucratic rules. The special effects were excellent for the time. No cgi as I remember.

Edward G. Robinson’s death scene gets me every time. He was dying from cancer and only Heston knew it. A man to the very end.

‘the sequels.’

It is funny at the same time that it is not.

He got to see a rushed version of the final edit on his deathbed.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Didn’t know that. Thank you very much.

The movie's predictions are seen to be nearly all true - if you substitute Lagos for New York.

I like that, too. Also, “Harrison Bergeron” and handicapping reminds me of what is happening today.
