Thinking about Zardoz, Barbarella, Logan's Run. I think a major reason more recent scifi movies have been so lame for the most part is that they have little to no interest in exploring changes in the nature of human sexuality. Maybe somebody should try to make a movie of one of the Iain M. Banks novels or 'Stars in my Pocket, Like Grains of Sand'? No chance, I know, I know. To the extent this is treated these days, interest seems to be limited to sexuality becoming more computer mediated, not sure if American sexuality could really be much more computer mediated than it is presently. Apart from the driving role porn plays in the development of new web technologies, it seems like every time I hear about somebody's new relationship it came about via Internet, doesn't matter if it's somebody very like me meeting soulmate via Flickr or a sweet little old lady arranging some action on the side in a Yahoo! chat room, lost track of how many instances of this I've come across in the past few years, seems to have quietly become the dominant mode of meeting new people. I should probably be more careful.
