oh, wait, good to have you here
I watched Logan's Run (that you recommended me) and LOVED it! I also had a talk with my dad (I was right, he loves the movie too) and he gave me a bunch more of old sci-fi recommendations and I'm probably doing a sci-fi marathon on the week-end. Thanks for putting the movie on my radar and getting me invested into those movies again!
ooo what'd he recommend!?
apparently there was a Logans Run TV series in the 70s I really wanna watch
He was really big on Soylent Green (which plays in 2022, let's see how accurate they were

) and Zardoz (though that one he wasn't so big on, he rates it more of a fun to watch but not as good as the other two)
Reminds me that I wanted to watch Idiocracy again because I remember him watching it and being: This is the most stupidest movie they could have done with such a great premise.
And then my mum came in with In Time and Ender's Game, because she completely went the dystopian route and has been watching a bunch of these on TV in the past months. But I have to say, I rather prefer the sci-fi approach the 60/70s had to offer. It was simultaneously colourful, hopeful and yet super grim. It's just such a specific feeling to it.
(Also, I have to go find this TV series now!)
I love Soylent Green, I'm always joking about it taking place in 2022 haha.
