THX 1138
After watching the new
DVD release of George Lucas’s
THX 1138, I cannot get the themes out of my mind. It may sound overstated, but I think the film is one of the very best “future shock”, sci-fi, works I have seen. Although there are cynical levels on which to read the film, there is also an affirmative reading - a sense of hope. The tension between dystopia and utopia is brilliantly done, and the multitude of references are a joy. Anyone else have an opinion on the film?? -

An Inconvenient Truth
Of course, this is very powerful work, and I wonder who
hasn’t seen it (or at least, is not familiar with it). I saw Al Gore’s incredible documentary,
An Inconvenient Truth, around 4 times in the theatres, and the
DVD release, with its updates to the very latest
Science of
Climate Change, is quite well done. Any thoughts on the film from anyone?? -
