It seems like people would be a lot more of a blank slate and just develop a new personality to go with their new set of memories. I'd imagine that I'd end up confused and cowed into compliance too, as would most people. It's really hard to say you'd do otherwise without coming off as an internet toughguy. To a certain extent, but our basic personalities are mostly locked in by the time we're two or so and it's not like we remember much/anything from that period. People would definitely have different reactions and they may even be fairly unpredictable depending on circumstance but overall you'd still be a version of 'you', just without the episodic (as opposed to inherent) memories that make up your adult self

Given they still haven't wrapped filming, and that the first season took like half a year of editing, I guess the release date will be 2025.

Given that Innies seem to wake up with knowledge but no memories of acquiring that knowledge, I'd assume my innie would compare their situation to the TV show Severance that they can't remember watching but somehow know the synopsis to.

It's basically explicit versus implicit memory. One is how to walk, eat, language, even driving a car. The other is your favourite colour, what you had for breakfast, the names of your loved ones.

Irving demonstrates that subconscious memories of the "other side" still exist. So it's probably less of a true blank slate and more like "I am very deliberately trying not to think of my name or history or day-to-day experiences, even if I have conflicting desires to remember these things."

I still think outie Helly is a double agent intent on sabotaging Lumon/her family, and I'm hoping we get to see that play out in season 2. The video she sent her innie felt a little too barbed to be sincere to me, like she was intentionally trying to rile her up and push her further.

I never watched Lost, but I did watch Wrecked. That show was great.Megillah Gorilla posted:When I realised that, not only was there not a plan, but there had never been a plan, I really checked out of the show. Although it was very funny when "they have a plan" was quietly dropped from the opening titles because it had become painfully obvious that they loving don't.

I can't feel tension because it doesn't establish expectations. You know the old Alfred Hitchcock bit about the bomb under the table? It's tense because you know a bomb explodes. If the bomb, say... doesn't explode, but a tiny evil ballerina crawls out and dances menacingly at a character before disappearing and he refuses to address it in anyway and it has zero connection to anything else going on, that's not thrilling. That's an incoherent shitpost that cuts to Spooky Thing and hopes you got more scared than confused for a second there. From, condensed:

Tiggum posted:I never watched Lost, but I did watch Wrecked. That show was great. That’s a good point. I was extremely taken by trying to figure out the rules of the world, like if the monsters have consciousness or interests, or if they’re just mechanisms that serve a purpose. But maybe part of the show refusing to develop that idea is because it’s scarier not to. But if the show isn’t going to develop its weird setting in a logical way and is going to follow nightmare logic instead, I don’t know how long I’ll stay interested. Especially now that my favorite monster Big Smile Letter Jacket Man, is dead.

I've never really been into jumpscare type movies, and I also prefer my Weird to have at least some sort of grounding.

I love how that moment was totally 'normal' in the show, but looks just insanely surreal taken out of context. Of course, the original moment is also insanely surreal, just normally so.

Seeing it without seeing the show it must just be a goofy gif, but when the show earns its way there it's such an incredible payoff.

I dunno, even in the moment it felt like the producers intentionally created it as a ~weird~ showpiece. Like the dance scene in Ex Machina.

I watched the show purely because I kept seeing the gang tag, put it into Google reverse image search and saw the title. I didn't know anything about it beyond "work self, life self", that gif, and the title. e: quoted the wrong post Nobody Interesting fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Apr 24, 2024 |

I had to look it up because that scene left no impression on me either time I watched it apparently. It's definitely a weird showpiece but it's also a good boiling point. It's corporate moral nonboosters that are incredibly diminished versions of fun activities like music and dancing, but the music selection is direly limited and the dancing is compulsory. They're trying to control these people with the whole "party" and trying to trigger that positive reaction only flashes his memory more to the knowledge he has a child and family he is essentially imprisoned away from knowing or seeing.

It felt like a lot of enforced corporate 'fun' times, though obviously played up a bit. I remember one time my company took us to a dude ranch for a weekend and the CEO and one of the VPs did a bunch of coke in their SUV prior to a like almost race into game of tag competition thing we had to do, and everyone was kinda having fun but not enough fun so the VP hollared that nobody was doing it right and then full on plowed into another dude at a full run from behind to show us how it was done. It was hella awkward and we all had to kind of pretend it didn't happen and keep on hanging out. Anyway, my point is: It was surreal in the same way that scene was and corporate enforced fun often is.

Shageletic posted:Apparently it took forever to get the lights to blink like that in sequence Yeah, I wonder if the ceiling lights were a persistent problem for the production. I swear I read somewhere that the sequence where Helly and Mark are wandering through the pitch black corridors, lit by motion censor activated lights in the ceiling, was a nightmare to pull together.

i would hope the lights were manually controlled hook em up to a midi controller or drumset on set

Controlling the dance lights for other cubicle pods is what their job is all day.

Were they using actual fluorescent lights for the office? For that scene I would have just ditched them and put LEDs up there for the dance party.

Found the article that I got that from I thinkquote:The process took weeks. Helen Leigh’s script left “a lot of room to play,” Erickson says, and everyone’s creativity took hold. For Tillman, that meant solo dance parties in his apartment “with the blinds drawn” to Earth, Wind & Fire; Stevie Wonder; and Aretha Franklin to perfect Milchick’s moves. While he and Rodriguez collaborated on the choreography to the clip from Joe McPhee’s 1971 song “Shakey Jake,” excerpted by music supervisor George Drakoulias, Gagné and Stiller worked on designing the ceiling’s rainbow-hued lighting and benefited from a happy accident with the dimmer board, which created the strobe effect. https://www.vulture.com/article/how-severance-filmed-defiant-jazz-dance-sequence.html
