The final rescued victim, Mark Williams, spent more than nine hours pinned underneath the lower skywalk with both legs dislocated and having nearly drowned before the water was shut off.

I like it… like a combination of science and magic…

I just finished watching this. Well, I sped through some of it. I really like Briar Rose’s “look” in the dream sequences… I wish we’d got more of that. I kind of like the ending “twist” though I wish they’d shown more of that too. I reckon they didn’t bc of budget constraints, but still… Anyway, it was OK…

I’m just working through something… I’ve liked this one since I was a kid…

btw I recently watched that movie Conclave which takes place in the Sistine Chapel, where the The Last Judgment is located, and a couple of times people gaze upwards at the paintings for inspiration…

Oh yeah I also came across something called Terminus (1987) which sounds kinda cyberpunk, but haven’t watched it yet. See it free on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dBxa992y1g

In the year 2037, an international sport has been established, wherein a driver of a truck must cross the country and arrive at a designated terminus, while confronting obstacles and enemies along the way. The lead truck, named “Monster”, has been designed by a boy genius (Gabriel Damon) and is to be piloted through the course by a woman named Gus (Karen Allen). Eventually, the truck’s AI fails and Gus ends up in uncharted territories…

oh yeah I also came across a movie called “CyberTracker” (1994) recently. It sounds pretty cyberpunk but def low-budget, I haven’t watched it.

• Looks like it has a sequel, kek: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x98ephs

In the future, Eric Anthony Phillips is the head of the Secret Service detachment assigned to protect Senator Bob Dilly (John Aprea). Senator Dilly is a champion of the recently implemented Computerized Judicial System (Computerized Justice for short), a product of Cybercore Industry, that uses data as evidence to determine the guilt of accused criminals, then carries out the sentence using cyborg executioners called “Trackers” (Maniaci). However, the more Phillips learns about Dilly and the Cybercore’s ruthless plans, the more uncomfortable he becomes…

Hmmm… I started watching OtherLife (2017) the other day… it’s more of a techno-thriller than cyberpunk tho… But it does have evil corporates and evil government types… you can see it free here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x93okqm

It’s kind of meh, but if you’re in the mood for something Inception-like, you might dig it.

OtherLife is a 2017 Australian science fiction thriller film directed by Ben C. Lucas. It stars Jessica De Gouw as the co-founder of OtherLife, a company that developed a form of biological virtual reality. When her business partner, played by T.J. Power, insists she license it for unethical use, she struggles to retain control of her invention with the help of her lover…

This is a pretty horrible movie in terms of acting, plot, realism, special effects, etc. The one redeeming value is the following. Apparently it was made with the support of the local chapter of the Japan Karate Association, a “traditional” shotokan karate organization known for the rigor and quality-control of its training. So every once in a while you’ll see people doing karate moves that clearly demonstrate they’ve spent years of practice on them.

This is a great time for European labs to advertise any open positions.

Mother Nature is a prankster. She was just having a little fun.

I wasn’t defending Imperial Germany. I was saying anti-semitism was a problem in France too.

This was pre-WWI. Not sure how anti-semitism compared in Germany and France during this era, but there was plenty of anti-semitism in France as demonstrated by the riots during the Dreyfus Affair.

Right now, I wish “my side” had a masterful politician and propagandist…

Hey I’m really sorry to hear about your dog. It must be tough knowing that it’s coming.

Yeah at one point his parents are like: “Bob, you got a letter from some guy in New England… do you know a Howard Phillips Lovecraft?”

D’Onofrio is one hell of an actor – he played Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket, The Kingpin in a Daredevil TV show, and was co-lead on one of those Law & Order shows. He does an OK job here, but tbh I only watched the first half then I got distracted and never finished it.

Hey, it wasn’t that bad. It was definitely TV-movie quality in terms of plot and dialogue, but the basic idea was great and the aesthetic was cool, especially the cars, the clothes, and Amanda Seyfried’s look. Yeah, Justin Timberlake’s acting was distracting, and Seyfried’s wasn’t that much better. I bet if they’d got a better leading man and a top-notch director, they could have made a classic. As it is, the movie made a pretty good profit, so I’m not the only one who thought it was all right.

Seems like it might be a pretty good movie. I think early King was the best, and the movie almost gets the feel of some of his early stories. But tbh I stopped watching halfway through, it got kind of predictable.

BTW if you go to “Subtitles” and select “Auto-translate” to “English” on youtube, the results are usually very good.
