Welcome to the 23rd Century
So, for last night's movie nite, we didn't end up watching any of the movies up for vote. Instead we settled on the very cheesy Logan's Run (circa 1976). Set in the year 2274, when ecological disaster has driven civilization to the protection of domed cities, this story revolves around a society that holds a ceremonial death ritual (carrousel) for all citizens who reach the age of 30. In a diseaseless city where old age is virtually unknown, Logan (Michael York) is a sandman, one who enforces this radical method of population control. Problem is that he's about to turn 30 and he doesn't want to die.
I have to admit, I had a most wicked headache and missed some apparently very intriguing and confusing ice scenes, although what I did catch of this movie, I quite enjoyed. Very hardcore sci-fi.
Something to think about. I was born in 1976, the year this movie was released. In the movie, everyone turning 30 is terminated. Coincidence?
Key quotes:
"There's nothing sadder than a dead fish."
"You're beautiful. Let's have sex." (ah the 70s!) The girl denies him and his follow up remark is "So why are you wasting my time? hmm?"

I've never seen the movie, but I remember seeing a spoof on Family Guy. Brian the dog was Logan. That's all I have to say. Good night.
I love this flick. It's no worse than any Star Trek show actually. Like ST, everything is soo clean though...
Man, they sure seem to have figured out the solution to dirt in the future...
Artoo! They have discovered an automatic solution to dirt! It's called a Roomba!
:-)
Did we ever figure out how Darth Vader gets the lint off his cape?
