But I think the remake was just as fine a movie, especially the soundtrack

Saw it in a theater a while ago now, maybe 10 years ago, was on the edge of my seat! Someone a couple rows in front of me was sleeping!

Yes I know its a TV show but it is in the same vein as Idiocracy (too obvious) and includes a 9-11.

The biggest little city in the world.

But don't waste your money on the other ones. Volume 7 is the pinnacle of the series, IMHO.

The wind as in all the hot air spouted by the so-called leaders (that goes nowhere) plus our rights and society being blown away.

I'm sure you had the same thoughts.

Fun fact: The lead actor in that movie was the lead singer of the band that prompted my username.

Were friends of friends of mine.
I got a VHS copy when it was on the festival circuit upon release.
I burned a DVD copy when it aired on IFC a few years back.
It's hard to track down. I'll PM you if I can dig my copy up.

Griffith masterwork. A sight better than that terrible Birth Of A Nation. Not only a racist piece of crap, but horribly overrated as movie making, too.
