I don't get the point of sentencing criminals to prison terms in cryogenic freezing.

[Bucky]

Doesn't that just result in them returning to life as parolees who haven't aged a day since their convictions and thus haven't lost a day of their lives for the crimes they committed? It's like, Wesley Snipes does all this terrible tax evasion activity and his only punishment is to be mildly cold for a few seconds and then getting to see all the fabulous technology of the far future--a future in which no one remembers him for anything but his wonderful filmography. Where the hell is the justice in that?!

1. They awake in a future where Taco Bell is fine dining though.

How's that for justice?

[KittyWampus]

2. wasn't that a gag in Sleeper?

[LostInAnomie]

3. I don't know. Never seen it.

You can't have actual sex either... or cuss... and you have to wipe your ass with seashells.

[jmowreader]

11. You SHOULD wipe your ass with seashells

Or you could just call the nanny machine a worthless cocksucking piece of fucking shit and use the pad of infraction slips as TP.

[Bucky]

4. No, no, no. Sleeper was WAY before Taco Bell

The gag in Sleeper was that vegetables cause cancer and tooth decay and it's actually ice cream and desert that gives you all your nutrients.

12. I thought it was red meat and cigars...

.
... and I think Woody Allen might have run a health food store in the present/past.
.
But here's the actual dialogue (I still think red meat and cigars are in that movie somewhere.
.
Dr. Melik: This morning for breakfast he requested something called "wheat germ, organic honey and tiger's milk."
Dr. Aragon: Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties.
Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or... hot fudge?
Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy... precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.
.
.
.
.
M-m-m-m-m... steak with hot fudge sauce.
.
Hold the cigar.
.

9. And you can't swear, either. Or have sex. I mean, fuck!

[Kat45]

5. Just like in "Demolition Man," when Wesley Snipes was a murderer frozen for his prison sentence

He was thawed out on parole, still a killer but in a crime-free society, and they had to thaw out Sly Stallone to catch him.

Funny that you used Wesley Snipes as an example, unless of course it was intentional.

[AsahinaKimi]

6. It was intentional

Didn't Stallone snear about the fact that Schwarzenegger had been President of the United States?
(Then when he really ran for Governor.. people were like, yikes! )

[Kat45]

7. I think you're right about that.

Actually, IIRC there were a few things in that futuristic society that either have happened or seem close to happening. (Unfortunately, I can't remember the specifics right now.)

[jmowreader]

13. Yeah, he was...

And remember in Last Action Hero when the kid was trying to prove to Schwarzenegger that it was a movie? Stallone was on the T2 stand-up. Good times all around.

[AsahinaKimi]

14. I had both those movies on DVD

Once..so Yeah, I totally recall that..!

[petronius]

8. If you don't freeze them, how do you subliminally implant awesome

psycho-killer skills?

:shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

10. I still have not figured out how to use the shells.

I might be doing it wrong, but they're much too scratchy/scrapy for me.

[MiddleFingerMom]

15. They have to be nautilus shells...

.
... only nautilus shells have that, ahem... LOGarithmic spiral.
