...doing a tiny share of its business in South Africa, one would suppose that it is also immoral to hold shares in the many companies that buy goods from South Africa or sell goods to it, since they too benefit, from the Sough African economy and presumably help to sustain it.

...movie's makers wanted to let us in on some Inner Message, but the connection between the weirdness on screen and this message is never made clear. The opaqueness of Nesmith's vision in the end makes Repo Man--well...dell, with only a very cool hardcore soundtrack to sustain it. Mad Max--where are you when we need...
