Thinking of an old animated short that my economics teacher showed our class in high school. It was about overpopulation and consumption of resources. The first part cut back and forth between the same looping animation of tons of babies being born and scenes of people fighting over the last remaining scraps of food. The second was a "how things could be" segment showing people doing sustainable farming and living happily. If I remember correctly there was just music, no speech or sound effects. The people were drawn as purple shapes without any features, and there was this yellow/orange "god" figure watching everything and being horrified. I saw it in 2000, but I'm guessing the short was from some time in the 60s. Anybody remember seeing something similar?

I was thinking about it again (it's been stuck in my head all week) and thought I maybe remembered the title from a handout in my econ class, and some googling brought me to this lesson plan: quote:"A Future for Every Child" 1974;,9 minutes, color, animated, 16mm, non-narratIve.Contemporary Films, McGraw Hill, 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New YorkNY10019 Suggests two alternate.futures:one a nightmare of overpopulation, shortages, pollution conflict and absense (sic) of human rights; the other a dream of adequate life space, plentiful produce, healthy environment, peace,and concern for the rights of individuals.Not recommended for use below intermediate grades. Followed by this comment section post on cartoonresearch.com. Apparently it was submitted for Oscar consideration in '73.

Alright, against my better judgement I'm putting this here. This was something I saw over twenty years ago as a dumb teenager watching Skinimax with the volume muted so my parents wouldn't hear. The movie in question was not a porno, but from what I could tell was in fact a serious movie about sex. The movie was structured as a series of chapters; the first chapter would be about an encounter between two people, then the next would feature one of those characters and a new person, the next chapter was the new person with somebody else, and so on. (CW: sex, violence) 1. A black guy gets oral sex from a prostitute in the middle of the night. The prostitute had blond hair and glasses with thick black rims. Afterward they get in an argument and he ends up punching her out and leaving her unconscious in the street. 2. The guy from 1 meets up with his apparent girlfriend. They have sex in a car while it goes through a car wash. Sometime after that the chapter ends with the guy getting shot in a driveby. 3. The girlfriend is waiting tables at a restaurant where some businessmen are meeting. She accidentally spills water on one of them. He goes into the bathroom to try to dry his pants. Somehow she ends up in there with him. He apparently rapes her and leaves her there. 4. The guy from 3 is having sex with a woman from the office. The movie cuts back and forth between that and scenes of her having sex with a different guy. The new guy comes off as confident and self-assured compared to the guy from 3, who seems like an overcompensating dickhead (if 3 didn't make that obvious). 5. From what I could tell this one is about a gay guy who's pining for the new dude from 4. He (I think) tries to sneak into the guy's home, accompanied by another guy who's being dragged along for the ride. Sometime later he tries to kill himself but gets rescued by his friend. Aaand that's all I remember. Like I said, it was over 20 years ago and on the HBO/Cinemax family of channels.
