I was wondering if anyone had seen this movie "Soylent Green" from 1973, Starring Charlton Heston.
Is it any good?

It's interesting to watch the movie and then read the book that it was based on (Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison). The funny thing is that in the book, soylent green is just another part of life. When it's revealed what it's made out of, the characters treat it as no big deal.

Heh...anyone seen the episode of Futurama where they make fun of this? It's the episode where they're at the Slurm Factory:
Fry: What if the secret ingrediant of Slurm is...People?!
Leela: They already have a soft drink like that. It's called Soylent Cola
Fry: Any good?
Leela: It varries from person to person
:p :D

I loved that one Return! I loved when Fry saw the slrum coming out of the queen slug and was like "Gross!" and then started drinking another one. Heh.

Ah, the Robot Devil. Certainly a high point of the series. His songs always crack me up:D
