So one of the “news” “magazines” is going to be airing a Brittney Spears interview.
At one point in the teaser just about blubbering with a bit of trembling, tears running down her face, she says, “you have to remember we’re people.”
To which my wife quips…
…I know some of you fellow middle agers know this one…
…“so is soylent green.”
But soylent green was useful.
Pardon my ignorance but what is soylent green??
It is people!
Harper, it is your time to chime in.
A movie.
Right about now Podzol is being carried off on a stretcher…
Is anyone else as lost as I am right now?
Yup, but wikipedia helps the younger generations a little bit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green
Ahahahaha, I get it. How could you people not know what soylent green is? That movie, set in the future, with the soylent yellow and the soylent orange, then soylent green comes along and everyones like “ooo, soylent green. yay for food” then the cop goes into the soylent factory and sees people going into that big machine and soylent green coming out the other side. Then he gets shot. Ahhhh, good times.
I still havn’t seen that movie, but I thought EVERY BODY knew what soylent green was.
yay for gilby! I’m in the younger generation. Or at least I’d never heard of the film.
It’s a movie, you twit. Films are artistic and whatnot.
Twit - excellent word, not heard it for ages. Do you chappies still use it over there?
Twit twas just for you.
Hmm?
Nope never heard of it, although I have no read the synopsis and understood the joke. The movie was released 12 years before I was born and I come from a family which places a very low value on television and film, it’s very easy for me to have no idea what soylent green is.
Don’t forget, for full effect, you have to shout it in that ‘half-gurning-Charlton-Heston’ way…
“SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!”
In much the same way you have to shout…
"YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!! "
You get the idea.
