Film Friday: “Never Artistically Backslide” / Torontoist

“Is anyone else disappointed that the dystopian future promised in 1980s films isn’t here? If there’s one thing we’ve learned here at Torontoist, is that en masse, humans are terrible at predicting our future. It’s always so much more mundane than we expect it to be.”

I don’t talk about it at length in this article, but I guess I have to see Doomsday now that I’ve learned its set in a post-apocalyptic Scotland. My attachment to home country (and, of course, dystopian futures) makes it unavoidable.

I even really wish Rebellion would republish Cal-Hab Justice - I never read it at the time.
