Pssssst.
Soylent Green is
people!
I wonder if New York, in all its blacked-out glory, looked like it's portrayed in all those science fiction films -- hot and overcrowded with throngs of people milling through the streets like in
Soylent Green, or desolate and ominous like in
Escape From New York.
Although I did find amusing and a little wondrous that someone was quoted in an AP article as saying, "Tonight, you can see the stars from New York City!" It almost makes me wish I was there to see it myself.
