Instant classic.

Sadly, I can't say too much about it without giving things away. Go see it!

i've been waiting ever so long to see this!

can you give me your impression of how people look in the future?

all my fat acceptance peeps are up in arms about the portrayal. and, as a lover of fat folks, i'd like to hear how you took it.

(which isn't me trying to trap you into not being politically correct or any bullshit. i *know* i look fat in these pants ~grin~)

How did they look?

well, they eat all day and don't move (automated chairs move them around). Thus, each generation looked fatter than the previous. Is that an insult or just physics?

They are portrayed as dumber in each generation, but it isn't a "fat = dumb" thing, it is a "dumb people beget dumber people" thing. The point being that big megacorporations want us to be dumb, fat, and happy... and we're willing to go along with it.

The other thing to keep in mind about their portrayal is that they explicitly stated that changes to the human anatomy were expected due to the micro-gravity environment they were in.

aww, lookit them! being all explicit and whatnot

it's hard enough being a happy fat grrl, but when yer fat acceptance peeps sound the call to arms incorrectly ... makes me tired, man

My boyfriend's wife and their son had to exert great effort to stop themselves from giving away more and more cool spoilers today... ;-)
