Poll question: Which Dystopian Future Does GD:P Most Resemble
1. Escape from New York:
Snake Plissken: We did get you out. A lot of people died in the process, I just wondered how you felt about it.
President: Well, I... I wanna thank them. This nation appreciates their sacrifice.



2. Aliens:
Hudson: Let's just bug out and call it even, OK? What are we talking about this for?
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hudson: Fuckin' A...
Burke: Ho-ho-hold on, hold on one second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley: They can *bill* me.




3. Planet of the Apes:
George Taylor: Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it.

George Taylor: You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

1. Escape from New York.
Basically a society without policing as such (remember, the Apes ruled over humans, and pretty well, really), mob rule at its finest.

Don't know who is human, who is a robot with intent to kill until you sit down and get into a stressful conversation with them.

Holden: Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about... your mother.
Leon: My mother?
Holden: Yeah.
Leon: Let me tell you about my mother.
(Shoots him)
