Retrospective in Nothing

Cadbury chocolate cannibals at the movies

Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
Going to the pics would so sweet
There'd be no need for munchies
Cadbury dairy milk is the perfect treat
If someone came and blocked your screen view
You could eat a hole to see through
Wouldn't it be nice?

On the heels of dwindling independent film theatres, art houses, quality Australian cinema production and the ongoing aberrations of Hollywood, comes another startling look at a supposed Utopia crafted entirely out of chocolate.

Despite previous outings and depictions as a homely environment for families, the latest in the line shows the callous act of biting off the hair of a fellow cinema patron. Wanton acts such as this are often first provoked by the incessant lights of a mobile phone or the rustling of foil crisp packets.

With only a difference in height sparking this most extreme answers to a lingering question, it does not bode well for the Chocolate Utopia.

Eating animals, metal and flora is one thing. To feast upon another being is a step toward fewer arguments in the long term.
