Steven F--two things: where are our rolling sidewalks in every city, a la Heinlein and Asimov?

The problem of no optimisim is directly connected to the current malaise andpoor sales of science fiction, I think.

Mark--doing my research prior to posting, I noticed that MST3K had indeed featured this film, but I had not seen it and suspected others had missed it as well. Glad you didn't mind a re-viewing.

Patrick--an apt comparison indeed! I wonder if the cartoonists had this in mind...?
