"Waterworld", while no masterpiece, is much, much better than the
critics would have you know. It is far superior to "Apollo 13", a
universally acclaimed "summer movie". There is more going on here
than meets the eye. I want to offer some highly speculative opinions
about why t

In my last message about the contradictory political themes in
these movies I forgot to make the obvious point that this is
exactly what "greenwashing" is all about. When 75% of the
population calls themselves "green," it's impossible simply to
pretend that environmental problems don't exist (thou
Louis: I don't think you are "all wet"; perhaps just slightly
damp. I think you correctly indicated some of the contradictory
aspects of cultural struggle around class in this era. You
explicitly stated your comments were "speculative," and I for one
found them interesting and thoughtful.

Maggie Coleman is right. What Louis and Blair have noted in
Waterworld and DWW--the anti-establishmentarianism, the "strong man"
mythos, the anarchistic and luddite romanticism (here seen in
