Did you think about the killing? I thought so.
Not beyond "Who's going to die next?"
Also, I think there was a lot of thought put into the design, creating a credible, lived in future.
No argument there.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What exactly do you mean by "thoughtful?"

Well, if by "thoughtful" you mean "beat-you-over-the-head-with-the-environmentalism-theme," you can include Silent Running.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Heh. Kathy gets there first.
So, nobody thinks Ice Pirates was thoughtful?

Ha -- that's exactly why I asked! (That and Equilibrium, which gets forgiven because its anvillicious "Emotions make us human! (Who knew?)" message is delivered by Christian Bale, Taye Diggs, and Emily Watson. And briefly Sean Bean.)

I'd also put the Matrix trilogy on the "thoughtful" list.

ID4 was thoughtful....
It made you think how easy it would be to overthrow a massive alien invasion if their ships ran on MacOS.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I'd also put the Matrix trilogy on the "thoughtful" list.
The first one, certainly.
I guess by thoughtful, I mean more that there was thought put into it than anything else. Really worked on, instead of just slapped together.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Reign of Fire is a thoughtful commentary on post-colonial international relations.
I don't know if it's that on purpose, but hey. Shouldn't have released the movie if you didn't want me to have a reaction to it.
Does Fahrenheit 451 count? Logan's Run, too?
