I think at a certain age some people consider their current life irrelevant and hark, continuously, back to bygone decades in an attempt to seem relevant. Between his software, spiritual and PR "experiences" from three and even four decades ago I would say he could use a refresher. Not only have we heard all this but the news and content could use some updating.

I took a science fiction English course in 8th grade. So, yes I

So do you not see an attempt by some political leaders to create a

Nothing much. We spent two decades working for community colleges and their PR departments. Rita was a video graphic designer and I was in IT for years. YMMV.

? Um no he didn’t, at least not on that forum, and I would find it difficult to believe he’s contacting you privately. ?Here’s the only thing he’s said about it:
The film is called "Songbird," and it came out this week. These guys didn't like it much. The phrase in quotes in my Subject line is from them. But y'know...I'm probably gonna watch it anyway, because I have a strange attachment for L.A., and for post-apocalyptic movies set there.?
The trailer looks like one of Bhairitu's wet dreams:?? :-)??
Not exactly a ringing endorsement. ?You’re hallucinating again Gramps. Plus, he nailed you.

One can tell within the first five minutes whether something is worth watching or not. Although I will read reviews of both critics and the general public I will watch something if I have a desire to, irrespective of the reviews. About 25% of the time I disagree with critics (professionals) so you just have to think for yourself and watch what intrigues you and turn it off if it falls flat. On the other side, many films that win Oscars and rave reviews I find utterly unwatchable.

Ok, so I watched the trailer. I have to say, this does not appeal to me. Not because the production values are lacking or the acting is lame but because I just don't feel like watching an apocalyptic movie about something that is not going to become apocalyptic in real life and right now I am totally "over" this kind of drama. The last 5 years have been nothing but insanity and drama and I can't see the desirability of watching more sturm und drang on the damn screen. It's just not where I want to place my attention right now. Just like I never watch cop or hospital shows. Just not what life is all about - for me. Violence, hate and ignorance is in abundance off the screen.

Avoid the danger that lies ahead. Nobody is probably immune to the millions of variants spreading all 0ver the planet.You don't know if you've got the COVID until you get tested. Apparently I'm the only informant posting here that got the vaccine, the booster, and then got tested negative. Go figure. Everyone should get the shot in order in order to attain herd immunity. Otherwise you're going to spend the rest of your life in lockdown, to one degree or another. The higher the vaccine resistance, the longer the lockdown will last. YMMV.

Also the movie is actually a love story about the guy who is the
courier trying to arrange for he and his girlfriend to leave Los
Angeles for Big Sur.? Scifi fans don't like love stories mixed into
their scifi.
The movie was better than I expected.? And I wanted to see if for
the subtexts presented.? Was it going to be a message of "you must
obey the authorities" or "fear authoritarianism".? Fortunately it
was the latter.? And maybe why Hulu which usually promotes new
movies does have it listed prominently.
Checking the post Corner posts I mentioned the film back in
November.? Barry started a second thread about the film when it was
released in December.? Anything that Barry trashes may be worth
checking out.
