Demoliton Man prophecy? (one spoiler)
I have never seen Demolition Man (1993) until last night. Ok movie, funny at times, mostly set in 2032.
But the line that had me rolling in the aisles is the following. Remember the movie is made in 1993!
--------------------
"I got the information from the Schwarzenegger library."
(Stallone): "The SCHWARZENEGGER library?"
"yes, the Schwarzenegger PRESIDENTIAL library."
(Stallone): "He was PRESIDENT?"
"Well, his popularity was so great, that we did have to institute the 51st amendment, since he wasn't born in the U.S., but yes.
Wasn't he an actor at one time?"
-----------------------------
Now, sure, the joke was meant as a Stallone vs. Schwarzenegger joke, but given the events of the last week, I almost fell out of my chair, laughing.
Thoughts? Any other movies that have been so inadvertantly prophetic?

So it didn't quite take 30 years for the Cubs to get good (only 18).

Im sure if you do a little research, you'll find that only ignorant left-wing idiots trying to belittle the man use the "junior" name. BTW, Albert Gore IS a junior, so if you feel a need to use that word to belittle someone... theres your oportunity.
