Watch Soylent Green and tell me that it put you to sleep. :eeek:

"people" often have that affect

Watch Soylent Green and tell me that it put you to sleep.

I've never seen it, but looked it up and it sounds like it'll be a true story eventually :eeek:

I suppose in an imagination sense they will.
We will always have the Lounge.
There is just so much in that film that dealt with the war it is difficult to look at it without a historical perspective---for instance the Vichy water comment. In its context it is funny as all get out.

I know its just a film but as a World War II buff I can't help getting such a big laugh out such things as Major Strasser's Luftwaffe uniform. In actuality he would have been Sturmbannführer Strasser of the SD (Sicherheitsdienst, or SS Security Service) and would have worn either the field gray version of Allgemeine SS uniform or civvies. Then there's the flashback to Rick and Ilsa's days in Paris where Ilsa is frightened by the sound of German guns in the distance and Rick explains that it must be the "new 77 gun." The 77mm field gun was an obsolete World War I piece that was no longer in service with the Wehrmacht in 1940.

PS also please note that I am in no way promoting or endorsing the film Soylent Green. ;0 I do not want to be held accountable...

 

[Feraud]

Just kidding you. That movie seems the type that everyone knows the punchline even if they haven't seen the film.

 

[Black Dahlia]

I really dislike the movie 'Titanic' but perhaps that is a popular movie opinion, and not an unpopular one?

True....the punchline is probably more well-known than the film! I have had the unfortunate experience to have viewed said film. I do not know how I will ever recover.
