I've seen the spoof of it on MST3K, and I've read the short story by John Varley (a fantastic writer, by the way), but that's about it. Pretty lousy movie (perfect for MST3K, the rerun of which ran last weekend on Sci-Fi).

I guess it's like 1984 or Brave New World in that it's about a totalitarian regime...only it's really, really bad. And then Fingal rebels and hacks the system...kind of like the Matrix...I understood the story, but doppling...WHAT THE HELL??!!!!!

Is it just me, or did they steal the whole "futuristic workers watching classis movies while the boss's back is turned" thing from Brazil?

Well, at least he made up for it with the Addams family. Not a bad legacy.

Want to be scared?

I have this, in its original form (no MST), on LD. It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but the production values remind me of a "Dr. Who" episode (minus the style).

Lets see. There's this this hotgirl who this little kid starts to undress(smart kid), a fat guy who looks like Hogg from The Dukes of Hazard, a drunk baboon who got high off a type of fruit that dosen't exist.... i don't know, I saw it on MST3K. I do remember the hot girl, and the smart kid.
