I was in a deep, depressed daze for weeks after my one viewing of the film. I won’t watch it again.

It’s not what we will be like in 500 years. It’s how we are now.

but I did catch most of it on tv several years later. Even then it was too close to a possible future for me to laugh it off, and I think if I watched it now it might make me cry.

just love this movie, but it is on my list of top five worst movies ever. Tried to watch it a few times, and just can't get into it.

The guy who wrote that stated, "I never knew I was a prophet" (paraphrased).

It was during T*****'s first admin, and I laughed like hell when Iread it.

Great movie!

Enjoy!!!
