derelict pools? But not saltwater or thick seaweed. Or sharks?

What a bizarre photo. I had to study it to discover it was a derelict swimming pool. If you want surreal, you don't need A.I., that's for sure.

When I saw the photo, I instantly thought of the 70s movie Logan's Run, where they killed everyone on their 30th birthday. So some of them tried to escape (run). Thus, the nod in the title.

Oh, yes, Mark, I got it right away. A hell of a movie that somehow still holds up today even with its naive special effects and poor editing. ( But then, I was raised with the truly laughable FX of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers…)

Yes, the pre-CGI effects are pretty laughable now. But to this teenage boy, it was an awesome movie. And the story line does still hold up.
