Soylent Green
Jul. 30th, 2005 09:37 pmSome people who write blurbs for films should be shot. I was looking forward to watching Soylent Green. All I knew was that it was an old SF movie with Charlton Heston.
Unfortunately, the one paragraph blurb on TIVO gave away the entire plot. Or rather it gave such a blatent clue that one's first guess couldn't help being right.
What should have been a carefully built up layered plot where a murder gives clues to other things going on and even an oceanagraphic survey plays its part as part of the puzzle, simply becomes a fairly rapid confirmation of that initial guess.
Bastards.
