You should call him, claim to be his long-lost brother, and then rake in the cash.
Well, very few of the survivors could look...That's sort of the point...Those meteors, doncha know.Quaxar said:
Meh, a lot of universities offer pop culture stuff like this, hell when I went to Northwestern they offered a class on Vampires which later branched into covering all the classic movie monsters. It's just a hype to lure kids into Lit/English classes. Sure some of the insights a prof can give into the subject can be interesting but in the end you got bogged down having to write tedious papers which can (and in my case did) ruin the fun of the topic. When I was done I never wanted to see another Dracula Movie again. You're honestly better off just finding the curriculum online and spending a few hours watching the movies/reading the material yourself and skipping all the bs papers and such.
Yeah, I know. Those triffids were so lame, the writers had to blind and basically cripple the victims in order to make them at least a bit scary. Even the horror film with a posessed elevator had normal people (apart from being braindamaged and not thinking about taking the stairs)!The_root_of_all_evil said:

You have read the book I assume? The book that explains why the humans are blinded?
Two films, two TV series. There was an American one and an English film AFAICR.Retodon8 said:

Goddamnit. I had to take damn English classes again because my ap score was just too low to transfer all my credits. I'm taking a philosophy class that won't count towards my humanity section or section 1b500(or whatever the fuck its called). I don't give a fuck about being a well rounded person i don't need to take a 1 credit art class or a sociology class... fuck that shit.
I want classes that i'm actually interested in if i have to take those damn things. Like this, but no to get to fun classes you have to go through 3 - 4 basic classes for humanities and English. Humanity major get all the fun shit, i mean i'm looking forward to the point where i can take microbiology or fluid mechanics.... thats very wtf./rant
I hate humanities majors

No I haven't, I only know the film. Does the book make it better?The_root_of_all_evil said:
All I know is green meteors (Superman?) have blinded everyone watching so they can't run from the awfully slow and weak triffids. I know there's a whole different story in there too, but I was only criticizing the plants themselves.
The films look at the plants. The plants are only the sub-plot. It's like watching Day of the Dead and wondering where the zombies come from.Quaxar said:
Read the book. The Triffids themselves are merely scavengers, and merely a side to the story's real side. Honestly, it's a wonderful book.
I'm so sick of Zombies and people who think that they're going to survive in case of a Zombie apocalypse. Seriously.
