Talk:A Boy and His Dog (1975 film)

A Parody of Walt Disney & Disneyland?
I've heard it said at SciFi conventions, that Lou Craddock is a parody of Walt Disney, and Downunder is a dystopian view of the world that Disneyland would produce. I heard someone ask Harlan Ellison the question after he lectured at MIT. Harlan just smiled.

Does any have any WP quality sources to allow this to be added to this (and perhaps other) articles? Lentower (talk) 04:43, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

A slight but consequential error in the description of the film
From the Wikipedia article: "Anybody who refuses to comply with or otherwise defies the Committee is sent off to a mysterious place called "the farm" and never seen again. "

I saw the film when it first came out, and there was nothing mysterious about "the farm". It was a euphemism for being put to death by the android by means of neck breaking. It was a harrowing scene, in which the just-plain-folks condemned were in the clutches of the android, who yanked up on their necks until they cracked, and blood ran out of their mouths and noses. Absolutely unforgettable. It's consequential because it so vividly demonstrated the sinister nature of "Topeka"

The film might have been edited since I saw it, though. It would be a shame that such a horrific yet compelling scene should be omitted. Geowikact (talk) 02:28, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * If it's not in the film, then you would need to cite a reliable source verifying that. DonQuixote (talk) 09:48, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
