>>I watched a rerun of Logan's Run (the original film - not the TV series) at the w/e, for the umpeenth time. It suddenly struck me how prophetic it was. The "City" resembled just a huge mall, crowded with feckless, aimless kids, all under 30, with nowt better to do than wander around shopping and having a laugh.

>I remember seeing this movie as part of a Science Fiction class I was taking at college (it was a non-credit extension course). I hadn't read the book. The original premise (domed city with no room for population growth so everybody is killed off at 30) had promise. But the plot just kept getting sillier and sillier until the whole thing was beyond even my ability to suspend disbelief.

You weren't the only one.

I watched an old favorite this weekend with my daughters and fell in love with it again -- "The Pope of Greenwich Village". It has aged well.
