    It’s a classic, but not exactly what the world needs right now. The Orwell adaptation he should have done is 1984.

        I wonder if the colonial cop could ever bring himself to hate Trump, were he alive today. Never quite managed it with Hitler. Had a lot of smoke for the guy who beat Hitler though. I’m sure those are unrelated. :thonk:

          Yeah, I’m glad us leftists can agree that criticizing the people who beat Hitler - like Churchill and FDR, great men of history - is it self a damnable offense.

      Idk I think leave this guy in the past. He’s a relic of the Cold War. We don’t need that propaganda anymore. There’s so many other, better dystopian fiction books out there that haven’t received their “definitive” adaptations, plus other more interesting original concepts people can do. Besides, maybe what people really need right now is people believing a better world is possible rather than accepting a crap one.
