Terminator (1984), Terminator 2 (1991), and The Matrix (1999) have entered the chat...
Don’t forget Mad Max
Soylent Green. Alphaville. Logan's Run. A Clockwork Orange.
Planet of the Apes.
I hate every chimp I see, from chimpan-a to shimpan-z
Rock me Dr. Zaius!
Dr. Zaius KICK!
I love legitimate thee-ay-ter
"Can I play the piano anymore?" "Of course you can!" "Well I couldn't before."
Oh man. Soylent Green is pretty fucking close to what we're living right now.
I mean most of all human civilization has had those very things though. The climate change part is a bit more recent, but housing has and always will be problematic, and women along with anyone that looks 'different' are typically the first people subjugated in human civilizations. When you think about it at a high level, humans kind of suck overall.
Yeah. Humans suck big time.
at least two years ago they were trying to grow meat (for consumption) and body parts (for implantation, so i guess consumption too) in vats. ain't heard much about that, but there has been bigger stuff to worry about.
Yeah. Lab grown meat is a thing.
So is meat created from feces.
dammit science the long way was better
Spoiler for Planet of the Apes
Mad Marx
Terminator: "War is inevitable."
Terminator 2: "Actually, maybe not."
Terminator 3: "Oh yeah, never mind, there it is."
Terminator: Arnie is the bad guy
Terminator 2: no wait, the first one made him a huge star so he's the hero now!
Terminator 3: Quick, let's squeeze one last one out before he becomes The Governator in a few months!
I thought Terminator 4 was pretty good, but I like that you didn't even give an opinion on Terminator 5
Would be pretty unfair of me anyway, since I've only seen the first two myself 😁
MelodiousFunk: They made a Terminator 3?
Apparently 🤷🏻
Me putting the 3rd in to rewatch if it was that bad:
True Names (1981), Software (1982), Neuromancer (1984), Hardwired (1986), Wetware (1988)
Cyberpunk is lowlife and high tech. It's completely dystopian. The early 1980s was the height of the Cold War with Reagan in power. People were not optimistic about the future in the 1980s, they were just hoping that it wouldn't end in a nuclear war.
Lest we forget Blade Runner (1982)
Blade Runner still had civilization. I’m not sure we’ll be that lucky.
Gad civilization... in the far flung future of 2019! 😉
Deckard missed Covid!
The third, believe it or not, windows 95 desktop background.
that's a cool chat. I'd smoke a blunt with em
