I think I can see what happened here. Charlton Heston, giddy from his sci-fi success with “Planet of the Apes” – a film that features one of the greatest twist-endings of all time – is handed the script for “Soylent Green.” He gets to the last page and says, “Yesssssssssssssss!”
Not that anyone who is half-way paying attention doesn’t see the pay-off coming from 90 minutes away.
Still, far be it from me to spoil it – at least until tonight, when Roy Bjellquist and I will be joined by special guest, “Soylent Green” enthusiast Shari Bethman-Bjellquist, to discuss this 1973 dystopian classic on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner.
Chime in with your colorful insights and feedback, as we live-stream on Facebook, this Friday night at 7:00 EDT!
