Just Checking...

So in light of the major media hype over mass animal deaths recently, I had to check something. Let's see....

...yeah. Nearly 40 years later, it's STILL an incredibly stupid concept. Because if you're just going to put natural stuff in domes, why not just put it in domes on Earth?

It just doesn't make sense. Even as a government make-work project it makes no sense. It makes so little sense that Bruce Dern looks sane in comparison. It's something so silly only a 1970s audience could take it seriously.

Screw it. I'm gonna go watch Godzilla and Forbidden Planet instead to wash the taste of Silent Running out of my mind.

I saw it when I was 10 and liked it a whole lot - I watched it again a decade or so ago and saw that it was one of many things whose enjoyment was utterly destroyed by actually developing more taste and better critical thinking abilities.

I can never complain too much about the things I liked as a kid, given that among them I liked "Rome-0 and Julie-8". But at least my imaginings of "Hair" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Hair" (based on the music) involved lightsaber battles.

Your last line now gives me the Awesome image of Godzilla VS the Monster from the Id.
