to reference @avclub-75f023b01584c7f37883f41c2a2b91ca:disqus , who needs Utopian stories when we live in such a utopic world anyway?

I'd be interested to see what World War Z will bring to the genre. Having only read (or skimmed, more accurately) The Zombie Survival Guide I really have no idea what to expect from it.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I would normally never entertain the idea of a Being John Malkovich remake. But if it were 're-imagined' (to use bs industry jargon) as Being Emma Stone, I just might be interested. If only for a scene populated by Emma Stones everywhere.

It's hard to say really. Maybe if photo's surface of Ducan's androgynous glam phase we'll have a better basis for comparison.

Children of Men and Moon were damn good films. Looking forward to what Duncan Jones has coming up, Source Code was also very entertaining.

There was a 3 part series called Black Mirror that recently had a run on UK television that's definitely worth a view. All 3 story lines might not qualify as dystopian but a dark satire with some SF elements thrown in.

Surely his Scent of a Woman moment. Now he'll overdo the "sad puppy dog" for the rest of career.

Likewise not mentioned, but is Fahrenheit 451 any good?

A fine film, but I personally found that the actor who played Wall-E displayed a much greater range of acting emotion as Johnny 5 in the Short Circuit films.

Any recommendations for worthy recent dystopian SF to add to this list? Books in particular?

Obligatory comment about watermelon being on the menu.

For someone who resolves to write more, Keith sure does have a short blurb.

As much as I like a lot of bands that make up the genre, maybe we should stop using 'post-rock' as well.

I really never understood the cult status "The Boondock Saints" has, and find it a very sub-par, borderline terrible film, but that scene where Willem Dafoe's character walks through the hotel room crime scene is great.

He is highhandedly responsible for Big Mountain's career. So, no. Nothing remotely tolerable.

"Fucking Francisco Franco" would be a much better premise. Also, a much more valuable answer in Scattergories.

Can he travel into the past, and with the gift of hindsight, set up a station that plays all the songs of then that are now considered classic hits but were ignored at the time, and thus become a hugely successful media tycoon with a blow problem?

My exclamation mark is so that I accurately stated the title of the album. I am in no way excited about Peter Frampton or the fact that I just referenced him.

Frampton Comes Alive!
