Queen Combat posted:Wasn't it also shown that some people that watch a lot of gunplay movies get thumbnails with guns, those that watch stand ups get smiling people, etc? Which sucks, because it deliberately sabotages your ability to get any information about what you're watching from the thumbnail.

Before his awakening, Number 5 was itself literally the means of production. Becoming Johnny 5 is the recognition of himself as a laborer who can now seize the means of production, meaning he can own himself by becoming an autonomous individual instead of merely a machine. Johnny 5 is the purest example of the communist revolutionary.

Johnny-5 would've voted for Trump, because he's a just simply boy who thought making america great again sounded a like a gee-whiz amazing idea. Then later he would've realized his mistake and kicked Trumps balls into outer space.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I have no idea if any of these are streaming, but allow me to rattle off a couple dozen suggestions: Almost Blue posted:The original Westworld is on Prime if you haven't seen it. Origami Dali posted:If Altered States qualifies, then that. redreader posted:Screamers is a great sci fi trash movie from the 80's. Colostomy Bag posted:Add Runaway to the list. Thanks dudes! I bolded everything I had already seen, but this is a dope list to get through. I watched the non-director's cut version of THX and I'm glad I did - the CGI I saw in the beginning of the director's cut was really immersion breaking and I think the film would suffer from its really impressive visuals and practical effects being cut out for it. I couldn't believe it was George Lucas though, man, I associate him with Star Wars, not transgressive dystopian sci-fi that was really extremely boundary-breaking for 1971. Also a great performance from Robert Duvall. Tonight I'm gonna take some dabs and probably watch Hardware because I've been told about that a bunch before I saw it here, then maybe those Godzilla movies, because I love the originals and the newer Japanese ones like a lot.

Borrowed Ladder posted:I'm not sure how well short circuit is going to hold up with Fisher Stevens' indianface(?) It's very strange because he did a lot of research to make his accent authentic, even going so far as to stay with an Indian family for a length of time. Which begs the question, WHY NOT JUST HIRE AN INDIAN GUY IN THE FIRST PLACE but Hollywood.

Yup it kicked all sorts of rear end in 85 and it still does. For weeks after we saw it my Dad talked about 'the glow' "Who's the baddest?" "Sho'nuff!"
