Great discussion…now here is a question for the older crowd…
I think I was 7 or 8 yo when the film was in the theater. My folks told me that theaters were being attacked by the audience b/c of the now infamous ending! They used this line to avoid taking me to see ‘Soylent Green’ until the next hyped flick came along to distract me. Does anyone recall hearing this from a reputable source? Or did my parents pull the wool over my eyes…again?

Please don’t tell me what soylent brown is from. I’m sure I don’t want to know.
Thank you.
