JUDGE DREDD and DIRTY HARRY. THE BOY AND HIS DOG is probably next. Some of Andy Warhol's sentiments seem prophetic.

Repoman, thanks for posting the Godfrey Reggio PSA. KOYAANISQATSI is one of my all time favorite films (and soundtracks).

When I see all this stuff with neo-nazis in the news now and the current breaking down of speech between opposing views I think of this, some bizarre sketches done by some comedy group from 10 years ago.

Stemming off that, a lot of MR. SHOW sketches are more relevant than ever.

Blows my mind that this movie came out before the Los Angeles riots...but it also doesn't.

I think Zardoz is incredibly...relevant in terms predicting the course of behaviors and perceptions in society...hypocrisies of utopian communes, although its meaning is heavily obscured by the crazy visuals.
It predicted mankinis ...

Ironically, I just bought Naqoyqatsi on DVD ... Existenz was from the same director as Videodrome, Cronenberg. I think some see Existenz as a sort of sequel to Videodrome ...

^^^100% on both your posts.
If you think about it, sentiments expressed in SANS SOLEIL (AKA SUNLESS [my favorite movie of all time]) predicted instagram and snap chat.

So is this worth watching or is the trailer as good as it gets?

STREET ASYLUM is 110% worth watching. That movie made this 13 hour exploitation fest I went to worth every penny and every bit of time.

The tabletop RPG Underground is pretty much our lives now with a celebrity president, mass shootings, rampant ammosexual culture, and legalized cannibalism.
