Future Speak by: Kevin Pakos

Not since Jules Verne and his then "eccentric" science fiction has the world faced it's own fate with such a clear future described to them.

To see a picture of the world we are about to become. Watch the 1975 movie Rollerball with James Caan http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073631/. The corporate world, one where all knowledge is kept online and only available to the ruling corporations. You will recognize some of the social/political landscape. Don't bother with the 2002 version of Rollerball, instead, you might find better acting on Saturday mornings with the Power Rangers.

Then if you really feel like trippin' check out Logans Run 1976 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074812/ and Soylent Green 1973. http://finnish.imdb.com/title/tt0070723/ Don't laugh, sometime in the future when you are having "auntie" for dinner, she will be the main course. Relax, it is not like you will even know she is a guest at the table. Everyone in the US is of course aware of the nations where sushi is people.

No, really, there are those from some nations that have no problem whacking off a piece of flesh from a person, eating it raw and tossing them in a ditch. How do we know? Because some of them survived and told us. Yep, gross but true. Of course the media jumps right on those stories.

OK, sort of strange. Let's face it tho, so many in America agree that there are too many people on the planet. That is why it makes sense that the International government sponsors corporations that take seed plants and crops, then create "terminator seeds" that will never grow a new one. Can't grow food, less people, problem solved.

Wow, is this getting dark or what? Check out the movies mentioned here. You may be surprised how much of what is in those decades old flicks is in play right now today. Then, let me know what you think.

Oh, regarding the movie "Avatar" Seriously, it is not about the future it is just a propaganda piece for the current movers and shakers. Heck, it is not even original. Disney did better work in the 1930's. So, no, Avatar has nothing to offer Future Speak except the exploitation of the churning masses seeking a better world by saving trees and getting rid of the stupid humans... yech, did I say that. Yep. 

Critically yours, the Movie Fan,
