Awesome movie. Surprised I'd never heard of it before. Really gripping, up to the end, and a great soundtrack too. For the non-English language in the first 15 mins, you can turn on subtitles and also "translate to English" and the results are pretty good.

EDIT: Turns out it didn't do so well* because it came out at the same time as the very first Star Wars! Talk about bad timing...

*also bc it has nothing to do with sorcery. and bc the first part of the movie has subtitles, and the studios didn't really support the marketing...

I was gonna say Cosmic Slop, especially their Houston 1976 live version. But Maggot Brain is awsome too.

Not familiar with this, but it's solid.

My favorite part is the snake with the skin like a human, in the garden of Eden. That always freaked me out as a kid.

I'm not really into that style of gaming, but I did try "Watch Dogs" for a couple hours. I mention this bc I thought the hacking part was the most interesting, and when I mentioned this to a friend they directed me to picoCTF: https://picoctf.org/. Basically this is a training environment aimed at high schoolers to teach them how to do hacking "capture the flag" competitions. So it's realistic in terms of teaching real hacking skills, but back when I did it they had a "game mode" where your character walked through this 2D environment and solved challenges as part of a story. I could only solve some of the challenges, but still it was pretty cool. Anyway, the web page is still up, don't know if they still have the game mode.

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.

There's horror in his head already, mom's spaghetti

Businesses get on board and start the horrible ad infestation

There were a couple years where businesses were "entering cyberspace" and still trying to figure it out. Mostly this involved static webpages, since they saw the web as a kind of yellow pages. i.e. a business' web page was their ad.

people are apparently fine with ads

It amazes me how accepting most people are of ads. I suspect Google's going to win, and their ultimate contribution to humanity will be forcing ads into everything.

I was guessing the woman's wearing a clip-on? But apparently this is from TikTok so you never know.
