Have you seen Her?

No, it's been recommended to me, but I've never gotten around to it. I think it's hard to sell based on the synopsis.

Of these, I have only seen Soylent Green, Dr Strangelove, Blade Runner, and A Clockwork Orange. I did not like Soylent, Blade Runner was only ok, and Clockwork Orange did not leave an impression. I liked Dr. Strangelove but haven't seen it in decades. I think Memento is excellent, though I haven't seen it in many years.

I just remembered The Thirteenth Floor. I liked that one more than The Matrix.

Which of the remaining ones would you recommend most, Mr Rup?

District 9 has something for everyone. Probably the movie that most people I know enjoyed regardless of their tastes. Humour, politics, action.
Starship Troopers depends on your sense of humour and whether you've read the original. I found it hilarious, in that they turned the jingoism up to 11 as a way of taking the piss out of it, but that's a stark contrast with Heinlein's intent. People that love military scifi and jingoism (or love the original and it's endless progeny of derivative imitators) tend to hate it.
Repo Man is another one that'll heavily depend on your sense of humour.
They Live is pure B movie schlock.
THX 1138 is a very different George Lucas (almost as if he actually had something he wanted to say). It always strikes me as quintessential '70s scifi, both in style and content
West World I haven't seen since I was a kid, so I'm not sure how it's held up, but it made an impression for sure. Technology as an outlet for our debauched fantasies seemed like a distant future in the '80s.
Similar story with Logan's Run, a dystopian classic.
A Scanner Darkly is a P K Dick classic (and I'm a huge fan) with a weird cell shaded style. Like all P K Dick stuff it plays around a lot with perception and shifting "reality tunnels". Probably the best writer for capturing altered states, and the movie conveyed that better than a lot of P K Dick adaptations.
Stalker is a weird Soviet '70s scifi flick. I appreciated it mostly for being part of the vastly under represented side of Cold War scifi.
Children of Men is very topical. Blew me away when I saw it because it'd recieved barely any publicity, and was a real overachiever. A very "near future" dystopia.

Its a pretty amazing movie. Much more of a sci-fi element than its sold. But also a movie about love and loneliness.

@waiguoren, I still dont like this retread of someone else's gimmick you have going on. You are not getting any better at it, maybe consider trying something new.

Dunno if you saw, but he broke character pretty good last night. Said I have the IQ of a turnip. Retreated right back to the gimmick when we called it out.
Sooner or later he will have to throw in the towel for good, and my guess is that will happen with some sort of "I fooled everyone" reveal.

That sounds like the anger of his father at his mother's infidelity. It's a nasty, lingering thing. He needs to turn towards his mother. Only then will an alpha present himself to enrich his life as drone and his ''wife's'' as queen.

I wouldn't be shocked if he's a manlet tbh

It's potentially very funny depending on how you did it

I tried to swat a fly that was sitting on the ground, with a towel and I smashed the second knuckle of my index finger against the ground

I am not surprised, Mr Low. It is hilarious to me that you and others think I am using a "gimmick" merely because I call you "Mr .." Nothing else has changed. The content of my posts is the same. You can ignore the "Mr" part if it makes you happy.

Hahahahajajahahaaa

You are almost too much, Mr Limb. Almost. Only in your strange world can a friendly jab on the interwebs be interpreted as a grave attack. I love you, Mr Limb. All jabs are made with love, and if they offend you I will tone them down. I do know how sensitive you can be.

I did ask you to address my as "Mr. Problems" I do feel that using someone's first name with "Mr." Is extremely rude, especially after they corrected you on how they would prefer to be addressed.

You are also wrong, you changed a lot of your posting style to try and deflect all of the crap you were getting after "Welchgate". I dont necessarily blame you for it, you just arent good at it.

Mr Low,

You are wrong.

@waiguoren did you see Joey McKenna transferred to Penn RTC?

Mr Low,

You are wrong.

Your payout game is exactly like this nice guy act, very poor, please improve.

I can't tell if this is satire or not lo.

News of the student’s repatriation has gone viral on Chinese social media with netizens arguing that bulletproof vests have become an essential travel item for those visiting the United States.

“Americans get to have guns, but we don’t get to have body armor. How are we supposed to avoid getting shot?” writes one Weibo user.

Do we need to amputate?

Yea. I was sort of scratching my head at what they were saying.

@Fawlty @VivaRevolution

Check out this private citizen's video against Joe Biden that she's airing in early voting states. It's kind of funny.

For what it's worth, she (and Elizabeth Warren) is right that Delaware is basically a corporate state that systemically undermines investors, consumers, and employees so that corporations will relocate there. With that said, she couldn't pick a more obscure topic that people care less about. This won't have any effect whatsoever on the election in those states.

It's the second time I've done it.
