Hey you butt-crack-y record scum and dirty hippies! Going to the Record Fair? The #7 train is not running to Court Square this weekend so don't go that way to get to the G train. Take the E to Court Square instead and switch to the G there. Or take the L (fastest), A, C, or F to Brooklyn and switch to the G there.

Automation is already appearing in fast food restaurants. Have you seen the kiosks where you can order food at McBarf's? We have to tax the rich heavily so we can afford a universal WPA. People need a mission, a purpose, or they'll flip out and do meth or opioids all day while watching extremist political videos. No entrepreneur will save you Neil! No great man will do it!

According to Friedkin, the main reason he chose Wang Chung to compose the soundtrack was because the band "stands out from the rest of contemporary music ... What they finally recorded has not only enhanced the film, it has given it a deeper, more powerful dimension".

@RTD@4:27, from what I've gathered, the "Oober" is an evil sexist gestalt creature that absorbs the jobless into its gelatinous ooze and tortures them on the streets while transporting people from place to place in exchange for little pieces of their souls and some cash-ola. Or something like that. I've avoided it like the plague so far.
