Soylent Green had that one covered too..the old push bike generator in the living room trick--Go.. Edward G Robinson... go...

reckon Old science fiction stories should be compulsory reading in all schools -

reckon they ought to genitically create some sort of life form that strips the carbon out of the atmopshere and turns it into healthy oxygen...that might help prevent the agricultural land being gradually turned into barren desert or arctic wasteland--

oh hang on ...we could allways just enforce the planting of huge tracts of forests..nah not fancy enough-far too liberal and wishy washy that concretely reliable soloution..-the human race is fixated on technology when the answer is often just to do the obvious and easy thing--it really is
scary..

The world of Soylent Green is coming, yummy:p

Fingers crossed we don't end up with "the Omega man" instead!!!

WHAT A GREAT OPENING (THE OMEGA MAN) HAD.

Soylent green and the Omega man are two of my all time favourite movies...hotly persued by the original version of Rollerball!!
the final close up of James Caan's face in Rollerball is unforgettable

magnificent visions of an all to possible future
(some might say present)

THX1138 is another one..the scenes showing huge vis screen in folks apartments constantly showing a chromed robot policeman clubbing an old lady to death reminds me so strongly of channel 4's "Big Brother" series that i cannot bring my self to watch BB at all ...thank goodness..

True classic. I watch it whenever it's repeated, but then I'm a sucker for end of the world movies and books (like John Wyndham's "The Kraken Wakes" and "The Day of the Triffids")

I wouldn't actually mind trying Soylent Green. I've read about the Greely and the Franklin expeditions, plus that plane that crashed. It's not fair that they can eat people and I can't.
