Sleeper (1973)

Woody Allen's science fiction satire. Through the past darkly . . .

Today when Pope Benedict XVI spoke in English, he sounded like Dr. Strangelove, didn't he?

  1. Soylent Green, now Sleeper. Hey, as long as I can go to India for major surgery, or heaven forbid--organ transplants, I'm okay with a German Pope sounding like Dr. Strangelove.

  2. This is Norman Mailer he donated his ego...what a hoot. Never saw this one either Erik, but now I think I will count it among ones that I would watch if it ever shows up when I am channel flippin'. Didna listen to the pope, who is Dr. Strangelove?

    Peace

  6. I'll have to check out the video from my other computer. This one says it's no longer available. My brother & I laughed at Sleeper when we were kids. Only when I saw it decades later did I realize that we really didn't get any of the jokes back then.
    The new pope kind of freaks me out. He seems like he could be Anti-christ, if I believed in such a thing...
