Technology and Society: 2001, Robocop

That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Ooh, RoboCop. Good call.
I know. I can't believe I forgot that one during the "superhero movies not based on a comic book" discussion. That one probably tops my list.

Would Social Interaction include "circle of friends" movies? I'm thinking of Steel Magnolias, which I've never seen but sounds like it would fit here.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I would actually put that under "Social Stratification".

I think it works under either, depending on your focus. I was thinking of all the men's treatment of Tracy, especially her father and Dexter claiming that her failure to "act like a woman" (my words describing their sentiments) causes so many problems.
But if you center on the very class-conscious Mike or George, Social Stratification also works.

Oh good god.
I read "The Philadelphia Story", but my brane translated it as "Philadelphia".
