When The Old People Die?

[bigboab]

Soylent Green was a movie about turning people into food.

When old people die they will just be replaced by the next generation of old people. YOU!

But you fail to answer the question... when exactly does one become old?

I suppose when most people are younger than you. Which means I am old, in my 66th year.

[magnu103]

Yes, you have 19 years on me, but do YOU class yourself as old yet? I reckon you don't...

30.

30.

Great movie, as is soylent green

I reckon we won't get anything like it in the future, hell, we don't today.

I reached this conclusion as I was watching Zardoz at three o'clock or so, this morning.

'tis sad, reely.

You seem upset that we are not all being killed off at 30 and being made into processed food...

Or are you talking 'bout the quality of movies these days?

Whilst I was doing research for my previous post I noticed they are remaking Logan's Run, by the looks of it they are being more faithful to the original book this time. People get killed when they reach 21 not 30....

Errm, the latter.

Also, I think MTV did a version of that already, called "dead at 21". It may well have been among the worst ten POS tv-series I've ever seen an episode of. But then it must have been veeeery loosely based on the original, if it was.

If they make a new one, it'll prolly be smothered in special effects and a few plot enhancements (ie gratuitous secks, shallow love stuff, moviestars that do naught good but looking pretty, etc.), as is customary these days, when movies are made in hollywood.

This is true.

It's sad to think that people will watch Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes (for example) and never watch the original classic. Burton's version was so bad I died a little inside when I watched it.

I sort of liked that one.

But then I only saw it as sort of an appendix to the real movie.
It'll be a real shame if people only see that one.

Even worse regarding the original is that they made a bunch of sequels and even a tv series that got gradually worse, I'll never quite understand why.
The story had been :molested: long before Burton.
