It may not seem very H+ or extropic, but dystopic movies are among my<br>
favorites: I agree with the writer that "Dr. Strangelove" is one of<br>
the best ("Strangelove" is one of my favorite movies, period), but<br>
disagree with his diss of "Children of Men".<br>

No THX-1138? No Zardoz? No Blade Runner? Odd indeed.<br>
