When I heard Zizek speak in Sydney he attributed the quote to Jameson.
Dystopic films are farm easier to imagine and are much more seductive than the more banal utopian response. What is much more interesting is how the film is resolved. By god, science, reason or human ingenuity? ( compare ' I am legend' to 'children ) of men'
