The Time: Several Aeons From Now.
The Place: Bev-El, or Beve’ Hill.
The Archaeological Find: Scientists have dug up the remains of a movie made in the last years of the 20th century. As it was seemingly designed to persuade, seduce, or trick people in practicing the outlawed art of thinking, all prints of this shocking work were banned, seized, and burned.
Except this one historic copy.
What is Humphrey Bogart doing in a movie with Popeye, President George Bush, and Elvis Presley? That’s what the scientists aeons into the future are trying to puzzle out. And now you, too, can inspect this outrageous cinematic fabrication set in a time very like our own—except that sexual freedom has become a Constitutional right while the freedom to think is prohibited. Here are images of our culture’s absurdities, injustices, violence, and desires, shot at you in a machinegun-like assault on your senses and intellect. The hilarious, chilling, and irrevocably mind-altering—a left brain/right-brain challenge…a consciousness-raising experience filled with laughter, rage, and truth.
