So, "Mad Max" and "The Road Warrior" are now instructional videos
Who'd a thunk they'd stop being post-apocolyptic science-fiction films made for entertainment purposes, and instead become the de facto instructional videos for Republican's America?

I never would have thought it ten years ago.

I thought it, though, on Dec. 12, 2000.

I just didn't think we'd get to this point that fast.

6. Make that "Beyond Superdome", dear.
I know. I'm sorry. That was very bad of me. I couldn't help it. I'm stressed.

PM me and let me know how you are, hon!

9. Great. Now all I need is a V-8 Ford Falcon with a supercharger...
a sawed-off shotgun, a knee brace, and a blue heeler.

12. The lack of coherence and long-delayed action is more like Robot Holocaust

13. anyone recall the movie "Gummo"?
Who would have thought that it (and the ones already mentioned) would end up looking like documentaries?

14. So is "Trigger Effect"
Probably came out 10 years ago, with Kyle MacLachlan, Elisabeth Shue, and Dermit "Dirtball" Mulroney. Basically, the power goes off in California and everyone just descends into this sort of low-key anarchy... been a LONG time since I've seen it, but oddly enough I just happened to purchase it last week (before Katrina)... will watch it this weekend for some pointers. Ugh.
