Hey, "The Road Warrior" was awesome. Great plot which shows that the community is more important than any individual, tremendous effects, and that sound-track -- the scenes with the Wolf Child alone are priceless. Humongous is one of the great video depictions of a faceless, rapacious capitalism, which has outgrown its military-industrial pedigree and taken on a new and highly allegorical kind of mask, and faces off against Mel's premonitory cyberpunk info-guerilla. Very progressive, compared to Cameron's neoconservative "Terminator" or Scott's wishy-washy "Blade Runner".

*Bzzt.* The Revolutionary Command Council hereby sentences you to a mandatory viewing of "Evangelion" (the TV series, not the flix). If that's not in, "Wings of Honneamise" will do in a pinch (I will admit that "Akira" sucks).
