Sci-fi movies decades ago just seemed more intelligence and thought provoking than they are these days. Somehow sci fi movies of today have lost their luster that they had decades ago. What happen to movies, for example, such as the 1973 film,
Solyent Green. I think that is why I have fallen out of the love for watching them as I had in the past. While they seem underbudgeted and corny at times, oftentimes too far out for actual belief that such things could even be considered, I found myself remembering about the sci-fi movies in the past decades when a fellow blogger exploratorily blurted out about the possibility of human consumption, especially when there is such a seemingly meat shortage. She was most likely just kidding about it in her blogs (at least, I would hope so and not creating a world of Dahlmer's out there - j/k Twiz), but her blog made me reminence of the sci-fi movies that I used to love to watch.
BTW, my repsonse to

@ CherryTAP blog entitled,
My View on....." is:
"Actually an idea discussed in the 1973 film, Solyent Green. Check it out and rent it sometime. It is a sci fi classic that you may find interesting.
:D
People have differences of opinions about the Star Trek shows, and other sci-fi movies of that time era; however, without them, perhaps we wouldn't have had the great minds who developed the technology as we know it today. Who knows????
Not that I would agree on the scooping of the have-not humans and creating a "solyent green" product for human consumption, but the thought does revert back to the same brainstorming solutions that the sci fi movies used to work out in their movies in the past. Just wish, the joy of watching sci fi movies would return once again with some thought provoking solutions for everyday concerns that we have to this day -- including over population concerns. Wonder how they would present a resolution to that concern today???? (some 35 years later)
I wonder, too, if the general public is ready for more sci fi movies to return to the screen with the intelligence factor in them. I know that I am -- especially, if they are thought provoking. Would you be????
