Waterworld and The Postman are rather prophetic
GullahGullahIslander
Agreed...I still need to see the gerbil alive to get past Gere +1
userfriendly19777
I think the Postman is a rather good dystopian movie. Cringy at times but overall good.

Time to invest in gadgets that filter pee into drinkable water.

Wow
JackieTreehornProductions
Just wait til Swing Vote comes into play in November.
jfletcher242
Loved that movie
Hashbrown123
Didn't Postman start out because of a plague, and the villains were pretty much preppers that joined together.

Not enough ice on the planet to get a water world timeline, start planning for mad max one
OsbornThorsguard
Well the future of US democracy, Canada and most of Europe are doing okay democracy wise.
Inkfinger
Holy shit...

Waterworld filming was a disaster and Kevin Costner stayed in like a 4k/night hotel while the crew lived in literal shacks.
ensensu
The reason Bear Grylls doesn't have a crew with him is that he'd make them sleep in the dirt?
BendOverAndIllShowYa
My ex never understood why I loved that movie so much.
nommon
TIL Patton Oswald has a brother
Auskat
Going Postal by Terry Pratchett is the ticket
JackTheRippersBrotherHowie
"*smack* what were you thinkin' ?!?" best part of the movie. do love Hopper in it also.
Bobeez
It was a good movie. It just got a bad rap because it went over budget, but who cares? It made it all back.
Banatine
Just realised Waterworld was on Netflix tonight and watched it for the first time since before DVDs existed... still a masterpiece
Walmartstallwithnolock
Kevin Costner: Drinking his own piss before Bear Grylls made it cool.
DysgraphicProgrammer
It's awful and I love it.

ShadeEmberi
fun film, so so inaccurate, but fun.
GodsFoot
Also love the universal studios live reenactment
ArtOfKarolMichalec
When they cut off the dead womans hair and throw her into the fucking green waste vat im like *puke emoji*
JustinSane6
One of my favourites. Watch it once a year at least.
AstroHun
I don't know if it's just childhood nostalgia for how it captures my imagination, but I never understood the hate for it.
RelativeVelocity
Costner pissed off the critics iirc. Been awhile since I thought about it, though.
DubhIainn
The future of democracy is nowhere near the USA.
NightF0x0012
You realy think that Biden is going to uphold democracy? I have a bridge for sale
GrandProtectorDark
Tell me a reason that isn't based on "left bad"
Bobeez
Don’t be scared right wing nutbar, nobody’s taking away your precious guns, jeez.
granbleu
Spotted the Trumpanzee
guntacular
As opposed to the incumbent who has been the biggest disgrace to democracy in our history? Hell Biden may be bad, but he's not THAT bad...
MrsFartSimpson
I had the best sex f my life while watching waterworld.
Pendragon4459000
madridDog
I'm quite sure if you're having sex and watching a movie, it's not the greatest. ??
snortchuckle
That’s the blessing of Water World, no one actually watched it start to finish
VastMajorityRule
It was a moist experience either way
Prinzka
You got any plans for the postman?
urakunt
They have TVs in the morgue?
Takethejump
Gotta do SOMETHING to stay entertained through that, right?
Ryanator50
did it start before or after the water bandits tried to do stuff to that poor lady?

Great movie, and the book inspired a lot of Fallout stuff.
PainGwen
Nope, me too.
namAehT
I liked it, but I feel like it could have done with more editing.
Dogmoo
False. Top three for me next to the professorial and a knights tale
ThankYouForYourTime
You are not alone. There are more of our kind.
mjcherbert

You and my dad.
grayman222
You are not alone. It's a good movie
SlyMrFox
Same. Might repurchase it again, someday.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
I feel that way about Waterworld. It was GREAT. Not many people seem to agree with me.
geekoffury
I liked it.
alpacasaurusrex
Nope, I enjoyed it and Waterworld a lot.
SpecialAgentCharlesCarmichael
The Postman slaps. I think it’s the uniform that does it for me.
Voxnobilus
The book was great
wiggadewah
Liked The Postman and Waterworld.
Posttoasted
It's still one of my favorites.
oblimo
Book is better.
FrostyRaptor
Still consider it in my top 10 favorites.

You’re not alone. My dad and I love that movie. There are dozens of us, dozens!
KevinMarchese
A very underrated movie!
LuminousExpanse
the book was pretty cool too actually
cybermage256
I liked it and waterworld
Mehlbox
Read the novel by David Brin. It's much, much better than the movie.
ijoinedtoolate
Just baiting us all out
MrPOOKENSTEIN
The postman is a good movie.
PithyCommentBelow
You are definitely not. I love that flick!!
Cilvaa
SovietWomble shoots people (or tries to anyway) who don't like The Postman.
TheLordCypher
The book was pretty great, still haven't seen the movie.
Knilore
I own it in a weird cardstock like case with a plastic latch. Stuff's getting better.
mayopop
You are not alone.
HillCountryRambler
Read the book. It's good too.
noxdracoria
I really loved the novel that it was based on. The movie i could take or leave.
Thajurriesexcuesed
There are literally dozens of us!
TheDogEnd
I didn't *dislike* it, it was just so loooooong. What is it w/ Kevin Costner and long fuckin' movies? This, Waterworld, Dances w/ Wolves...
darcihoralek
You shut your mouth about Dances With Wolves ? It’s perfect.
MahiMahiFreedomActivist
That scene where the family comes in to ask him for his seed fucked me up as a teen. I was like, would people actually...they totally would.
Kats8652
Wasn't that in Waterworld at that atoll? Because off all the incest?
Allthegoodnamesweretakenbeckygod
Husband was sterile from mumps as a child wasnt he?
Seedofvengeance
I literally only remember Tom Petty showing up as Tom Petty.
wiggadewah
I know you...you're famous.
WoodyTugboat957
“Yah, I used to be.”
LuminousExpanse
"you're famous aren't you?" "I was."
SocoFox
Same. But that part alone made it worth it.
mstrmrvn
"You're famous!" Tom "Nah man, you're famous."
deaddingo
You are not alone. I think it was well done.

parrotPositivityDog
I have a feeling OP is thinking about Waterworld.
joebuck123
Both.
trapperjohnmd
He’s referencing both movies. Waterworld for the flooding and the postman for the mail.
Skuxlife
MarkOfTheCovenant
Seemed pretty obvious
trapperjohnmd
No way. I think both of those movies were good. Now battlefield earth on the other hand...
IfOnlyICouldUseMyPowersForGood
Battlefield Earth was (and here I directly quote Battlefield Earth) "crap lousy"
immoral0
The book was pretty entertaining, and would make a pretty good movie, and no one will ever convince me that they tried to.
IfOnlyICouldUseMyPowersForGood
If they ever decide to actually make a movie out of it then, let me know and I'll watch it.
iamthecomet
I love that movie and so does my ex.
Perkunas687
I was up late in Utah watching it on cable, with super long commercial breaks. I kept falling asleep and wondered if I dreamt it, until 1/
Perkunas687
years later someone mentioned it and I realized it was real. I started watching at the midpoint, I think. Remember almost nothing :( 2/2
joebob3i9
Your ex proved she has bad taste ;)
iamthecomet
That's mean. Also he's a guy.
Zreen
Does he wear khakis?
Helcon17
She sounds hideous.
Itslukus
Well She's Fiona from Shrek so
Consolidatedheadmelter
I loved the book, havent seen the movie
userfriendly19777
For once Iiked the movie over the book.
HillCountryRambler
Book was amazing! The fight at the end? My God! I could see it. It was epic.
zhaulus
Watched part of the movie within a couple days of reading the book, big mistake, couldn't watch more than the first half hour
BobHopeLives
Like all of David' Brin's books. Postman was great!
JasonThorn
David Brin actually went on record as saying that, although the movie wasn't like his book in some ways, he still liked the movie.
TheLegionofDoom
Ya know I've always wanted to sit down and watch it. I like Kevin's work
iamthecomet
I really don't know why so many people hate it. I think it's a great film.
infiniteflux
Americans like brash, yappy arrogant heroes. Aka assholes. They don't have patience for slow burn or real true character.
iusedtodream
Prob something something scientology. Postman and Waterworld were great fun, solid concepts, and cool stories.
Allthegoodnamesweretakenbeckygod
I liked his robin hood and field of dreams also.
darthlame
I prefer my Robin Hood to be able to speak with an English accent
iamthecomet
He's not a Scientologist though.
iusedtodream
Exactly!
LuckyMan9
I have it on my watch pile, but why is it 3 hours long?
PaintedSlate
Think of it as a movie and a very different sequel edited together.
cjpoet
Costner spends 20-30 minutes filming his own face. Only draw back to the movie.
secretdpp
Was a long story to tell. Would you rather get GoT S8 treatment again?
iamthecomet
Why not? You got something better to do?
lurkinlady
Because it’s literally an epic tale!
toastfrancaise
It's only 3 hours? Felt like the longest 700 hours of my life
WoodyTugboat957
You have obviously not seen Water World.
toastfrancaise
I've not!
WoodyTugboat957
Yeah, scratch that one off of your bucket list.
