  Could you expand on what you mean by 'serious content'? "The Thing" -1982 is full of tech wizardry, yet I hardly think of it as a comedy. ~AH

    My Dears,
    the serious content is hard to define, but do not let the meek ones among us to deter you from seeking it. It is not a "science-fiction", it is not a "melodrama", it is not "action"....
    It is exactly what you hate, namely, your own life depicted on film, the boring, the insuferruble, the un-dramatic drudgery of your own life.
    Most of you have only the questions as to what is the "serious content", but no one answers, really. So - that question is really a contentious one, isn't it, we do not want a movie to hold a mirror to your face, to your life - do you ?
    Do you want to see an artistic representation of how we really live ?
    If the answer is yes, then be prepared to see :
    1) signs of excessive self-regard without any genuine self-criticism
    2) commercially induced sexual yearnings devoid of any erotic elements
    3) fantasies of murder rather than those of life enhancement
    4) denial of complexity of life, in compliance with the current political correctness
    5) a measure of creeping self-hatred stemming from a general confusion - see the point (4), i.e. denial of complexity.
    6) importance of objects overwhelming your puny existence
    7) resisting the irresistible becomes a sheer impossibility
    8) ETC. ETC............
