Happy b-day Brendan! Make sure he has a great one, Shellie :-)

Happy Birthday! AGAIN!

Happy Birthday old one.

Yay!.... i dont get BL's quote, someone explain to slow guy in the corner.

In this old movie called Logan's Run (post-apocalyptic scenario where all the remaining humans live in a dome-city) when people turn a certain age they go to their "carousel" where the people believe that something awesome happens! (see Seeker's picture). However, they totally just kill you to keep the population at a certain level that the dome can maintain. Dig?

Oh! and you know it's your time when the gem on your hand turns red. Also, Logan 5 is a special police officer that kills "runners" that are people who try to run away from their carousel.

Happy birthday, old man! You're old!

It's a weird movie... especially the 2nd half of it, but it's one of those classics that is mentioned every now and then. Family Guy I know did a spoof on it in one clip

You might want to read the book as well, it is a different story, but with a lot of similarities and explores the society in greater depth.

How the hell do you guys manage to derail a birthday thread, rofl.

Not to mention that the book had the age at 21, not 30, which makes more sense as to why the whole of that society wasn't very "experienced", if everybody was only 20 or less. As far as I know (hadn't read it), that was the main point of the book.

Bryan Singer was going to direct the new (more accurate) one with DiCaprio, but that fell through. However, it looks like it's back on the pre-production list with a new director.

You'll probably get a kick out of this
