Continuing with the suitably meta trend of the past couple of days, here’s another “Top” list posted on a website that loves doing “Top” lists itself. While part one of Entertainment Weekly’s Top 50 Most Vile Villains list was a little hit or miss, Popular Mechanics’ list is an incredibly entertaining read top to bottom thanks to its novel premise. The list also happens to be absolutely terrifying. The majority of these films depict bleak, forbidding, soulless futures for mankind and writer Erik Sofge deftly points out how it’s all coming true. Except for Soylent Green. Soylent Green is still not people.
Check out the list here.
Thanks to Cinematical for the spot and thanks to Erik Sofge for writing about Short Circuit. You can never have enough writing about Gutenberg flicks.
