By the way, this came up on monday, and it is as I thought, and in case it wasn't clear at the time: the film for which what Soylent Green is is a spoiler is "Soylent Green".

PS. And please don't say what it is in a comment to be funny. I know the meme is more popular than the movie now, and everyone knows what happens (the last person who didn't was told on monday today) but just humour me, the irony would be too painful otherwise.

Edit: PPS. Other spoilers are as ok as normal though. Elim Garak, I am your father!

PPPS. I think this being the first time I've made explicit a comment policy. I know some people explain, but I've always left it implicit, assuming that the default amongst people I know is clear, even if it annoys some people, being approximately the rules of the living room:

* I reserve the right to enforce my will on my place, but in actual fact everything will be controlled by social etiquette.
* Except people I don't know trying to sell stuff to people indiscriminantly. They will be ejected.
* People breaking the law in a major way, ditto.
* Be polite, no gratuitous hate, no gratuitously work unsafe stuff, be careful with legally dodgy stuff. Or I'll ask you nicely not to :)
* Never edit something without making it clear, if it changes the meaning.
* Everything I write copyright me. Everything you write, I'm not sure.
* If I ask you to abide by an etiquette, please do.

It is the same with books reely. I mean there are certain books that you have to assume most people in your culture are familiar with, if they haven't read them at least they know the basic idea. And some things are so famous (justly or unjustly) that everyone knows the top secret plot anyway, eg The Da Vinci Code.

Yeah. I don't know what the *most* known secret is.

Jesus rises from the dead.
Dracula is a vampire -- no-one can even hear

Hmm, I should probably post about that...

OTOH, I knew a bit about what happened in Da Vine Code, but not the details of the plot. And maybe people I know deliberately avoid it, so maybe not as well known as it could be :)
