It's people!!! SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Always wanted to say that! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IKVj4l5GU4
Next your going to say the oceans are dying. I have a bottle of green cleaner I have fractured the name and I call it Soylent Green. While it is a great cleaned I wonder what it is made from. Jerry
Actually I do a very good impression of Charlton Heston. Which is why my family often stays away from me at the beach - As everybody knows that sooner or later (when I come across or build a sand castle), I will embarrass everyone standing near me by shouting: Damn you! Damn you all to hell!!! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x135y0 ... shortfilms I think I once also tried to split the sea, but someone from somewhere threw a rock at me - So I never tried that again!
Ah, yes, ingredients "unknown". My husband went to a big box store to get fertilizer for the lawn. The "associate" told him that humus was good, since it was made from human bones! I asked him if the "associate" looked like Bela Lugosi, but he said no, he just looked rather vague . . . .
When we took that photo Randy and I were speculating on how many members would even know the movie I was referring to, we figured a few of them our age and probably no one outside the U.S. would. Imagine my surprise when S-H was the first to respond and know lines from the move and everything!!!
Actually Toni, once in my very early childhood I had a bad dream, that overpopulation had become so much - That I couldn't get to my aunt's apartment, as there were 1000s of people sleeping in the streets, on the footpaths, as well as on the stairs which lead to my aunt's home. All of them unwashed, hungry, and hopelessly miserable in every respect... I don't know if I was 3 years old or 4, but I woke up very scared and upset. Later I forgot all about it. But when I saw Soylent Green for the first time (as I really like old classic movies) - That exact same nightmare came back to me, this time at the age of 15 I think... So once more I woke up in a sweat! In hindsight, I think it is fair to say that if there was a movie that I can single out as the one which inspired me to become a doomsday prepper - Than I say Soylent Green ranks very high on the list! And no, please don't get be started on Don Johnson's A Boy And His Dog, as that's a very close second on the list! By the way, I'm not the only classic Hollywood movie buff outside the US. The late Kim Jong Il of North Korea was also known to have a huge collection of movies! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEaKX9YYHiQ
No, I guess I missed that one, probably because it's black & white... My knowledge of B&W movies is limited to those of John Wayne, Clark Gable, James Cagney, and of course Humphrey Bogart! My favorite ones are Humphrey Bogart's All Through The Night, and James Cagney's White Heat! And yes, who can forget Charlie Chaplin movies, as well as those of Laurel and Hardy, and of course the Three Stooges! My parents of course were addicted to everything of Lucy and Desi Arnaz! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw6LGOxYLlQ
S-H, "A Boy and His Dog" has been a favorite since its theatrical release. I agree with the writer that it was a harsh, but effective cure for urban blight. If you want to watch an interesting James Cagney movie, I recommend "The Time of Your Life." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040884/combined
I think I've seen it on TCM, as well as James Cagney's Angels With Dirty Faces. I actually like how Cagney accurately reflected the social plight of ordinary people in those days. Angels With Dirty Faces is one such movie, that starts with 2 such prankster boys. But later one of them grows up to become a preacher, while the other, his childhood best friend - Grows up to become a tough gangster (James Cagney)! Yet from the inside, their hearts are still unchanged, fun loving and boyish. But eventually life catches up with them, and then we see James Cagney's greatest bit of acting, when he is about to be executed for his crimes. Cagney being the tough gangster remains unimpressed by the verdict. And instead really starts to enjoy how he will now become a martyr in the eyes of the youth! So that's when his childhood friend, the preacher, comes to him with a request. He asks James Cagney to do own yellow when they kill him. That of course is unthinkable for Cagney. But the preacher tells him that if he becomes a hero to the boys in his orphanage, then many more Cagneys will die like this in the future. So to save them, and not to become a hero, Cagney goes down yellow (even though he was fully capable of laughing till the very end)... So that's what an angel with a dirty face looks like. Something that no other actor has been able to do on the screen up till now... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nld4DcRHME0
Great picture Toni,..you have to wonder at times what mentality the people who place those signs up have,.. . I too remember that film,..Soylent Green,..the old guy in the film was Edward G Robinson,..didn't he live in the apartment with Charlton Heston?.
