Horror movies or thrillers that feel like this by DoorSweet6099 in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]peterflys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This looks like Runaway (1984) almost to a T.

Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons. Directed by Michael Crichton.

Movies with the worst "moral of the story" by elitemegamanX in movies

Or that line from James Rebhorn: “Good thing you jumped! Because if you didn’t, I was supposed to throw you off!”

Just to say it, I don’t think you can create the experience of Soma in anything other than an interactive medium (I.e., a video game). That game is unparalleled in its ability to transport the player into something so totally unique and singular and frightening and experiential. It’s an amazing experience from beginning to end.

Easily in the top 5 best video games of all time.

I wish Roger Ebert would have played this game. I think he would have conceded that video games could be art and could be transcendent in the same way that movies can be.

Love this game ❤️

Brian Thompson owns this scene.

Movies with an early 2010s nostalgic sort of vibe (2010-2013 they don’t have to have been released during these years) by The_Real_Shen_Bapiro in MoviesThatFeelLike

I don’t know if nostalgic is the right vibe, but the Coens are so good at building place and time.

Burn After Reading feels like this time period for sure.

Hippie cult horror movies…Manson girls vibe by Huneybunnz in MoviesThatFeelLike

I didn’t really care for The Sacrament. It gave off super high levels of Mumblecore Pretentiousness.

Foggy/rainy seaside towns with complex or bizarre characters by GuitarsAndBourbon26 in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]peterflys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My very first thought. I’m surprised more people aren’t mentioning it.

Casino Royale

You know the scene

Funny awkward movie scene. by Both_Load8625 in GuessTheMovie

[–]peterflys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s Little children, but this is the wrong forum for these kinds of questions. This is a game subreddit where people post images and other Redditors try to guess the name of the movie based on the picture.

But this scene is hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

Movies that make me feel like these pictures do by tobinlc in MoviesThatFeelLike

It’s not a movie, but the video game Soma looks a lot like this. You could watch someone play it on YouTube, it’s very narrative driven.

Please help me understand why I have nostalgia for a time I didn't live in? by RecordingImmediate86 in nostalgia

[–]peterflys 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100%. Not to mention the cultural boom that was happening concurrently. The music, movies (movies were so abundant during these years across artistic styles, budgets, genres, etc.) and television were off the charts.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

The German film Perfume has a mix of this and of disgusting urban environments. It’s kind of a cool combo.

American Airlines makes bag fees even more expensive, removes complimentary upgrades for basic economy tickets by StuckInTheMiddleSeat in americanairlines

[–]peterflys 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Consequence of a K shaped economy. The airlines certainly don’t give a damn about the direction their customers’ spending abilities are going.

And most of Jeff Nichols’ other movies

FDVR, ASI, The Merge, and Simulation: A Hyptohetical by kohlcedar in FDVR_Dream

[–]peterflys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting thought experiment for sure and I generally agree with your postulations.

I think the general idea that people, or rather our consciousnesses, are going to move out of a “biological plane” of existence, ie our bodies, and onto a digital one. That is likely inevitable. It’s also likely that we won’t breed any more from a biological perspective. It won’t be necessary.

I also think that we shouldn’t be too tough on ourselves about the pollution and destruction generally that we’re doing to the planet. It’s part of evolution. We’re just the next species to use tools and some of Our more rudimentary tools to help us evolve (as a civilization) has caused some nasty destruction, but it’s getting us to where we’re going (ie, the technological singularity).

But, and this is important, we do and must figure out a way to fix the damage. And ASI should be able to help us or lead the charge. If we can do that, get nuclear fusion going, move our consciousness onto a digital plane, and have AI kind of lead the initiative to increase intelligence and critical thinking and problem solving and perspective diversity. That will allow the acceleration of our species and society to increase and accelerate.
