Especially great is the Will Ferrell-->Napolean Dynamite-->That Chick love triangle subplot.

That always reminds me of walking through grass on roller skates.

From wikipedia:
"Science fiction is a broad genre of fiction that often involves speculations based on current science or technology. It is commonly abbreviated as SF or sci-fi. Science fiction is found in books, art, television, movies, games, theater, and other media."

So a movie that's based on the premise that human's are infertile because of a toxified environment seems to fit that definition of sci-fi to me. 

And yes Star Wars is sci-fi, don't be stupid.

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

I wasn't really interested in debating it.
I thought it was a movie about
Spoiler Below highlight it to read on
a man who had been unable to come to grips with the death of his child and his grief at being unable protect him from that death until he delivers a new life into the world and shepherds it to safety.

The setting in the future was merely a device and almost immaterial.

On my shelf it'd go under Drama rather than beside Star Wars & Star Trek

Are you talking about Pursuit of Happiness?! :roll:
I just watched the IT DVD...never seen it except the PBS part, never heard any of the show...must say, nice Bowie, Nice Chalkdust, nicely done videography.
The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order; the continuous thread of revelation.

star wars has nothing to do with science fiction, by my definition or wikipedia's. it's fantasy. now, according to the emperor's latest decree on these matters, this belief doesn't technically make me 'stupid', but thank you for suggesting otherwise.

you could reduce many movies in the same way. bladerunner is about a fugitive who wishes he didn't have to die, and a man sent to hunt him down. setting it in the future and having the fugitive (and the hunter) be robots is merely a device to get at the notions of our very human expiration dates and the uselessness of asking our 'creator' for more life. for example.

okay, i know, this isn't worth debating. one should shelve one's dvds any way one wants.
the point is, children of men rocks!

Excellent so far.

We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen

Not much of a punk rock guy, but I'll watch any halfway decent music doc.  This one was great, I learned a lot.
