one-million-dollar art film based on

like super mario brothers from two years

before there's something about those bad
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
movies from the nineties something about
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
its it's not quite as well lit while the
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
other so the other way think so i think
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
is the max headroom connection that
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
Super Mario Brothers was by the
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
directors of the original max headroom
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
TV movie from the UK and they brought
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
some of the perhaps even literally the
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
sets from Max Headroom into into super
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
mario brothers John mnemonic also
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
reminds me of Max Headroom because Mad
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
Max Headroom was one of the better
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
realize sort of cyberpunk visions it you
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►

[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
picture made almost ten years after the

00:04:11
◼
►
30 million made almost ten years after
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
max headroom was was done on television
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
and I it is not does not look better in
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
basically anyway max headroom understood
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
that the way to make something look cool
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
and computer-generated was to make a
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
background and then put rubber hair on a
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
person who would act weird you know
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
well yeah but but even even just the the
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
hello world of it does not look as
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
futuristic or I mean it's just it looks
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
like they're driving through newark yeah
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
we would be greater than actually shot
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
in newark they didn't have to do that
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
and then apply canada at one point that
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
says free city of newark and you think
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
oh here comes the futuristic dystopian
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
new work they're going to make fun of
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
New Jersey and it really really just
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
kinda looks like a city
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
it looks like present a dystopian newark
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
know the difference is and my maximum
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
taught me this is if there is our fires
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
going on in trash barrels and it's a
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
dystopian future and boy they got that
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
they got him inside to which everybody
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
would die of the smoke by the way for
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
that but it doesn't matter somehow it's
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
all good inside so I sure should i
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
should i summarize the plot as we go as
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
does that sound like I think I should do
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
now is is there enough plot to summarize
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
we can spend about 20 minutes making
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
final the opening crawl and then we went
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
through the rest of the movie the
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
opening crawl is pretty much all you
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
need like we were watching it and the
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
fourteen-year-old goes there's a movie
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
after that that's the story there's a
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
lot of words it takes forever
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
it's it's really ugly its garish it's
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
like it's daring you to read it and then
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
at that point I'm still optimistic I'm
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
like oh this is the movie version of the
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
magazine mando 2000 except without the

00:05:54
◼
►
coherence there's too much text in

00:05:57
◼
►
general and it's also too much text to
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
use that font and it's also too much
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
text to use God raised that's shoot out
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
from the middle of the screen as the
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
text scrolls up through it I really
[TS]
00:06:06
◼

00:06:11
◼
►

something in the riot to get to the
[TS]
00:11:56
◼
►
it's bizarre because they're completely
[TS]
00:11:58
◼

surrounded by people so you think you'd
[TS]
00:12:00
◼
►
have the taxicab just be like hey stop
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
here before you get to this throng of
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
people but somehow i guess they slowly
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
and patiently work their way through
[TS]
00:12:07
◼
►
with the car so that he was near the
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
building but not quite there and not
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
like the rest of the way
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
yeah it is just it's ridiculous it's
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
just poured directing and have no idea
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
what that's supposed to communicate
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
other than theirs civil and rest which
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
has no impact these people don't seem to
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
be suffering from the network attached
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
storage problems that's sweeping the
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
world but they just seem to be unhappy
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
people who are protesting things and he
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
goes into the hotel and there's
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
immediately
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
none of that all swept away and we have
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
the the weird interaction with the kids
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
and the fish bowl is a big circular fish
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
tank and there's a couple of cuties a
[TS]
00:12:47
◼
►
kid or is it a twins who were behind it
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
and he looks at them through the fish
[TS]
00:12:51
◼
►
tank as he's getting in the elevator hee
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
hee laborious Lee pulls out a little
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
thing and presses the button that that
[TS]
00:13:01
◼
►
is his memory doubler which takes his 80
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
gigabytes of memory and makes it a
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
hundred and 60 gigabytes of memory i
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
want to talk about this okay because
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
that more than any visual element it
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
takes this movie to within about a
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
two-year span
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►
when memory doublers were a huge thing I
[TS]
00:13:23
◼
►
remember this because my mother worked
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
for a company called stack that create a
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
thing called stacker which would double
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
the space on your drive and then
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
microsoft bought it or stolen or
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
something i forget what
[TS]
00:13:33
◼
►
anyway my point is this clearly because
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
none of this memory double stuff happens
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
in the story clearly somebody related to
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
the movie was saying well what does it
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
matter if he downloads too much memory
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
just get a memory Doppler like I just
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
got so they have to put in this whole
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
rigmarole about him installing a memory
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
doubler and his brain to go from 80 gig
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
to a hundred and 60 gig and it's
[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
mentioned like six times throughout the
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
movie where they just go on and on about
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
how even after the memory doubler could
[TS]
00:14:05
◼
►
just not had the memory doubler it
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
really doesn't make anything any better
[TS]
00:14:10
◼
►
and we get the the weird little port you
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
know it's not quite a headphone jack but
[TS]
00:14:15
◼
►
a but it's close
[TS]
00:14:17
◼
►
so again something that they got wrong
[TS]
00:14:19
◼
►
about the near future is all the things
[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
that are like headphone jacks will be
[TS]
00:14:22
◼
►
gone by then
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
well this is a little thing they could
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
one of many things this movie does worse
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
than the matrix in this movie
[TS]
00:14:29
◼
►
he's got ahead jump a port in his head
[TS]
00:14:32
◼
►
that you Jack something into just have
[TS]
00:14:34
◼
►
to sweep his hair aside and poke a tiny
[TS]
00:14:35
◼
►
little needle thing into it but in the
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
matrix it's this giant port that you've
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
pic with let's look at gasoline hose
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
into the back of your head that looks
[TS]
00:14:44
◼
►
cool in in either case i think it's safe
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
to say Keanu was not made by happen
[TS]
00:14:49
◼
►
the UH the memory w a tram doubler was
[TS]
00:14:54
◼
►
like in the mid-nineties to that's
[TS]
00:14:56
◼
►
absolutely well yeah I just yeah it is
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
I just it's so absurd that's like why do
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
we go through this extra stage but it's
[TS]
00:15:04
◼
►
cool it's a cool idea man somebody i
[TS]
00:15:06
◼
►
read i read somebody who said that that
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
they thought this was a like they wanted
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
to make a David Lynch movie but at some
[TS]
00:15:16
◼
►
point somebody perhaps even the studio
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
said no no it needs to be as literal and
[TS]
00:15:21
◼
►
linear as possible that it might have
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
even been william gibson who I know said
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
something similar to that
[TS]
00:15:26
◼
►
hehe says that there's a cut of this
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
that he liked we were saying yesterday
[TS]
00:15:30
◼
►
when we were why
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
doing this Joe it's hard to imagine that
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
there is a kind of a cut of this that
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
could possibly be any good but perhaps
[TS]
00:15:37
◼
►
if it was more nonsensical it would be a
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
better movie because your brain could
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
fill in the gaps with things like
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
perhaps even double your brain could
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
double the quality inn in your mind but
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
as it is it's just all very linear and
[TS]
00:15:54
◼
►
and boring and it's also just surprising
[TS]
00:15:57
◼
►
because if there is a better cut of this
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
would have to use entirely different
[TS]
00:16:00
◼
►
footage with different performances
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
because it where their alternate takes
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
that were way better than they left on
[TS]
00:16:06
◼
►
the cutting room floor for this with the
[TS]
00:16:07
◼
►
studio's like no no that's too edgy
[TS]
00:16:09
◼
►
let's go back to the one where they
[TS]
00:16:11
◼
►
barely get the lines out yeah i have
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►
read another script by william gibson he
[TS]
00:16:16
◼
►
wrote an alien 3 script that was
[TS]
00:16:19
◼
►
floating around for a while they did not
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
use it for the movie because it was
[TS]
00:16:24
◼
►
completely unfilmable one of the
[TS]
00:16:26
◼
►
features of it was that Ripley was on
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
screen but comatose for the entire movie
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
so they would have had to pay Sigourney
[TS]
00:16:33
◼
►
Weaver whatever exhibited some she asked
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
for to not do anything
[TS]
00:16:38
◼
►
yeah well like I said he held a novelist
[TS]
00:16:41
◼
►
and sure he really understands cinema so
[TS]
00:16:47
◼
►
the courier is late these people up in
[TS]
00:16:49
◼
►
the hotel they're angry because the
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
careers late and then Keanu arrives and
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
he he said he holds his briefcase and
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
says double cheese anchovies
[TS]
00:16:58
◼
►
mm okay like the pizza delivery guy he's
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
mr. Smith though not to be confused with
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
agent smith and the matrix because that
[TS]
00:17:08
◼
►
is again a much better movie on all
[TS]
00:17:11
◼
►
dimensions the end that and that leads
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
him that so so these guys they're
[TS]
00:17:15
◼
►
they're a bunch of guys in this room and
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
I think there's at least one woman in
[TS]
00:17:18
◼
►
there and there and there there it turns
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
out there like scientists and they're
[TS]
00:17:21
◼
►
trying to give him something to smuggle
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
that's he's the this is the big score
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
this is what he's going to do they need
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
to get 320 gigabytes to newark it's
[TS]
00:17:29
◼
►
extremely dangerous if that's too much
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
capacity we know that he only has 160
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
gigabytes of free space with his memory
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
doubler but he still agrees to it which
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
is apparently extremely dangerous but he
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
does it anyway there is a funny moment
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
in here where kyon who says question
[TS]
00:17:45
◼
►
you don't look like the people I usually
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
work with which i think is interesting
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
because that's totally not a question
[TS]
00:17:50
◼
►
now and it's a statement and AE says
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
question like to as like a prefix to
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
several things that he says is this film
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
is and it's like you don't need to say
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
that something is the question
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
interrogative just yeah they were
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
worried he wasn't being robotic enough
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
so there's I just to go all the way with
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
it no you're too human
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
dial it back but the way I don't
[TS]
00:18:11
◼
►
understand that motivation behind that
[TS]
00:18:13
◼
►
all is the real head scratcher and the
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
you can tell it's really a future place
[TS]
00:18:19
◼
►
because there are sealed mini blinds in
[TS]
00:18:22
◼
►
a burgundy wall and some giant rear
[TS]
00:18:26
◼
►
screen projection of some anime that's
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
going on huh
[TS]
00:18:29
◼
►
it's it's it's really strange what they
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
chose to do with this and I e I don't
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
even understand the dialogue that he's
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
having where they would be like okay
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
we're going to agree to give you this
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
amount of data and you won't even tell
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
us how much you could store he's just
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
like it's enough it's like this this is
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
a weird sort of equipment measuring
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►
question like this this is an actual
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
like you need to do this in order to
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
fill this job and a he's just blows it
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
off as if it was nothing and it's very
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
peculiar how they chose to do that no
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
one will be seated during the thrilling
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
technical specification seen you get the
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
sense that he is trying to you know he
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
doesn't care if it's dangerous to him
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
because he's just trying to do this one
[TS]
00:19:18
◼
►
last job and they may be are desperate
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
because as far as they know they're
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
going to get shot to death by the Yakuza
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
in a very short amount of time so that
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
all that all I you know you could you
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
could headcanon some of that a little
[TS]
00:19:30
◼
►
bit but you're right it seems if this is
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
incredibly important information with
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
that could change the world which is
[TS]
00:19:35
◼

what what it turns out to be that having
[TS]

your shifty courier who showed up late

coolest thing in the world to me when I
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
read the story
[TS]
00:24:33
◼
►
see he's got a detachable thumb and a
[TS]
00:24:36
◼

mono- monomolecular filament attached to
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
it and it just slices through anything
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
and everybody at my crowd thought that
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
was the most amazing idea but we never
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
quite got the idea right because we
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
never remember it was monomolecular
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
filament for some reason we thought it
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
was monofilament for a long time fishing
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
yeah after reading the story in which
[TS]
00:24:59
◼
►
this guy's thumb string cut people's
[TS]
00:25:01
◼

heads off and slices through concrete it

00:25:04
◼
►
we were like that's where they sell this
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
in walmart but that that's a point where
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
the coolest thing in the world is just
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
made boring by this movie it's true the
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
the movies good at that happens a lot
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
it is and I I kept expecting kiana to
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
just as they walk into just for him to
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
go out of the bathroom right behind them
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
and just leave but instead he fight he
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
does he does some fighting because I
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
guess he does he knows kung foo write
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
another echoes of echoes of the matrix
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
they uh but but he he escapes and they
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
torture essentially some of the people
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
who are still alive to tell him to tell
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
them where he's taking the data and they
[TS]
00:25:45
◼
►
finally give up the important
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
information work also interrupt the
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
factors that they took like a chop the
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
monofilament blade chops the three
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
Polaroids into two chunks of two and one
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
so he can reuse ends up with one and
[TS]
00:26:03
◼
►
then they lose they lose the other
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
it's like partially burned or something
[TS]
00:26:07
◼

sense though because they keep talking
[TS]
00:26:27
◼

than bring it up one more time for a

►
Henry Rollins over this this is this is

[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
here with with Henry Rollins and that's
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
surprising because the Empire it so it's
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
it's interesting that that you know I is
[TS]
00:31:02
◼

[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
the emotional driving force in all of

00:31:08
◼
►
the scenes that she said and no Keanu
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
and definitely on Henry Rollins and
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
anyone else i would argue that iced tea
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
has several moments huh and and then for
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
the most part he manages to sell this
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
this sort of tone of I can't believe I'm
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
doing this but ok here's the dialogue
[TS]
00:31:27
◼

[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
doesn't take girl except now he's not
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
true wearing kangaroo makeup so that is

[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
really really really miss cast for this
[TS]
00:31:55
◼
►
part of a spider the doctor lines in
[TS]
00:31:58
◼
►
this where he tries to not sound angry
[TS]
00:32:01
◼
►
or but he winds up sounding angry even
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
though he shouldn't it's it's very odd
[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
he's good at angry but some of those
[TS]
00:32:10
◼
►
lines should just be like oh what's this
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
but no it's more like God's this and we
[TS]
00:32:16
◼
►

suffering from the early effects of
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
nervous situation syndrome she's mad

00:32:26
◼
►
because she wants to be the Ralphie's

◼
►
bodyguard instead of the the two
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
bodyguards God but she's she's not
[TS]
00:32:35
◼
►
qualified cuz she's got the shakes and
[TS]
00:32:38
◼
►
we also see iced tea is introduced about
[TS]
00:32:42
◼
►
here as j-bone classic ice-t roll
[TS]
00:32:46
◼
►
can we talk about Jane really quick yes
[TS]
00:32:47
◼
►
yes in the story
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
her character is Molly millions who is
[TS]
00:32:53
◼
►
one of my favorite fictional characters
[TS]
00:32:55
◼
►
of all time
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
she also appears in neuromancer yep and
[TS]
00:32:59
◼
►
she is the coolest cyberpunk easiest she
[TS]
00:33:03
◼
►
is the epitome of cyberpunk will say
[TS]
00:33:05
◼
►
that cyberpunk is all about mirrored
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
shades it's basically because Molly
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
millions had mirrored shades although
[TS]
00:33:11
◼
►
really what she had was just the lenses
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
implanted over her eyes
[TS]
00:33:16
◼
►
and this movie took a great character
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
and just jump down the gutter and yeah
[TS]
00:33:26
◼
►
well it's not again I i think because
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
neuromancer is right film rights had
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
been sold
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
they couldn't have Molly millions right
[TS]
00:33:34
◼
►
so instead they just kind of its Jane
[TS]
00:33:36
◼
►
she's fine she doesn't have her cool
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
fingernail razor blades doesn't have
[TS]
00:33:41
◼
►
anything
[TS]
00:33:41
◼
►
no and you know she she's fine but the
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
entire movie I'm furious that she's not
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
Molly I've read neuromancer but I didn't
[TS]
00:33:53
◼
►
piece together the that she was supposed
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
to be like that care there's no way
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
there's no way you could because there's
[TS]
00:34:00
◼
►
nothing left of that character yeah you
[TS]
00:34:01
◼
►
have read johnny mnemonic and see that

[TS]
00:34:05
◼
►
Molly there
[TS]
00:34:07
◼
►
yeah but it's so I didn't find her as
[TS]
00:34:10
◼
►
disappointing because she was she was
[TS]
00:34:13
◼
►
actually a breath of fresh air
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
comparatively most of the time and I
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
like the scene with her and Ralphie and
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
the bodyguards where she tries to
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
demonstrate that she's good enough that
[TS]
00:34:23
◼
►
she's faster and better than the the
[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
other it aging supposedly bodyguards
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
that that he has and she can't hold her
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
her hand still so it that it's a
[TS]
00:34:34
◼
►
tonight's little test their doesn't

00:34:38
◼

[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
the movie is increasingly and career and
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
this is eighty percent of the way

00:35:05
◼
►
through my notes
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
wow haha I so the we also have the the
[TS]
00:35:11
◼
►
scene with a j-bone that you had

described where counter reaches going to
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
the place that Ralphie told him to go to

00:35:33
◼
►
touch-tone pad in it that you dial in
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
the air and then that's created a
[TS]
00:35:38
◼
►
picture of years are such a long scene
[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►
miming things moving things around with
[TS]
00:35:45
◼
►
his hands which instead of being seen
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
that the matrix would do much better
[TS]
00:35:49
◼
►
it's a scene that Minority Report would
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
do much better right
[TS]
00:35:53
◼
►
it's a scene that parks and recreation
[TS]
00:35:55
◼
►

point tax-related foot point maybe in

00:45:42
◼

the buffer in newark copy shop or or
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
should I say the newark copy shop
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
because it's referred to as the copy
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
shop there's only the one is in the

future there you know who needs copies

00:46:02
◼

this triangular block and turning them
[TS]
00:46:04
◼

and that's like okay I'm unlock now it's
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
like a commonly it's like he's a he's
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
crossed safecrackers and also he's like
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
he goes to the the lobby of the virtual
[TS]
00:46:12
◼
►
reality of the hotel and then and and
[TS]
00:46:15
◼
►
then dials into well it's like you have
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
to solve a rubik's cube to hack in we
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
no idea but they didn't appear on unix
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
yeah they didn't want to make it too
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
complicated to it's like a two by two by
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
two Rubik's Cube instead it is peculiar
[TS]
00:46:29
◼
►
because also when he goes on to hack
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
some other stuff later on it it is just
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
just physically manipulating some things
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
a couple times and it's like okay attack
[TS]
00:46:37
◼
►
now it's like I don't really think that
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
that is that is a good way to do any of
[TS]
00:46:42
◼
►
this but a and I certainly don't think
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
it helps to communicating to the
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
audience but i guess it would have been
[TS]
00:46:47
◼
►
too complicated and too you know for
[TS]
00:46:50
◼
►
boring not this movie is afraid of doing
[TS]
00:46:52
◼
►
boring you know how to communicate and
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
either way of doing it i'm not going to
[TS]
00:46:56
◼
►
show how to really hack things it's a
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
bite block but it's in virtual reality
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
so that makes it a high-security no it's
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
just a bike lock you just turn it it
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►
pops right off and then you can access
[TS]
00:47:08
◼
►
into the buffer zone fax machines i
[TS]
00:47:10
◼
►
guess this is why you have to entrust
[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
your data to someone to physically walk
[TS]
00:47:13
◼
►
around the planet yeah it turns out this

of medical trivia
[TS]
00:51:22
◼
►
thanks Henry Rollins somebody writing
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
the script had the United 95 equivalent

of wikipedia encarta sure and said oh I

00:51:32
◼

gotta work this into my next movie by
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
whatever means necessary
[TS]
00:51:36
◼

[TS]
00:51:38
◼
►
between ken Reeves and entering ones
[TS]
00:51:42
◼
►
especially this is your moral dilemma of
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
the movie really which is that what
[TS]
00:51:46
◼
►
Henry Rollins basically says look you've
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
got the cure for naas in there that's
[TS]
00:51:50
◼
►
what this is this company with their
[TS]
00:51:53
◼
►
with their fake tower pharma com they
[TS]
00:51:56
◼
►
have found the cure but they don't want
[TS]
00:51:58
◼
►
to save anybody with it because they're
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
havin they're making too much money from
[TS]
00:52:02
◼
►
their various drugs and so this is the
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
way where the corporations are screwing
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
the little guy we can get it out we're
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
rip your your uh your implants out and
[TS]
00:52:12
◼
►
get the Cure out but you will maybe not
[TS]
00:52:15
◼
►
die but you'll have some you know you
[TS]
00:52:18
◼
►
have no long-term memory and probably
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
some problems with your movement but uh
[TS]
00:52:22
◼
►
but hey you'll save millions of people
[TS]
00:52:25
◼
►
and you're probably gonna die regardless
[TS]
00:52:26
◼
►
of what happens
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
so what do you say and then this is it
[TS]
00:52:31
◼
►
this is the moral dilemma for Johnny I
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
guess which is you know does he let them
[TS]
00:52:36
◼
►
you know crippled him or kill him in
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
exchange for the secure which i think
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
basically never gets resolved because
[TS]
00:52:43
◼
►
Harry Jesus murder Dolph Lundgren
[TS]
00:52:46
◼
►
attacks them and then it doesn't matter
[TS]
00:52:48
◼
►
but I thought that was an interesting
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
attempt to have at least some sort of
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
moral dilemma for Johnny yeah and he's
[TS]
00:52:56
◼
►
got to be selfless not that was ever
[TS]
00:52:58
◼
►
into that being
[TS]
00:52:59
◼
►
an issue before this I guess strongly
[TS]
00:53:03
◼
►
now is like ma like Monty said he has is
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
his break down shortly after this where
[TS]
00:53:08
◼
►
has all this responsibility that he
[TS]
00:53:09
◼
►
didn't want to have to deal with when
[TS]
00:53:11
◼
►
they take spiders dump truck thing and
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
go over to heaven and the the E he gets
[TS]
00:53:20
◼
►
very frustrated and lays it all out
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
there all this pent-up rage that he has
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
about room service etc that Monty
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
discussed and so it was sort of strange
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
that the dilemma isn't as tethered to
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
the rest of the things that you know
[TS]
00:53:36
◼
►
it's not like he's been selling people
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
out the whole entire time that we've
[TS]
00:53:41
◼
►
seen on screen because we've only seen
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
this one transaction right yeah he's
[TS]
00:53:45
◼
►
purposely enigmatic to us is his name is
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
Johnny he doesn't even have a last name
[TS]
00:53:51
◼
►
and he doesn't remember but to this past
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
so I felt like they were purposely
[TS]
00:53:55
◼
►
saying he's nobody
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
and then all of a sudden he has to make
[TS]
00:54:01
◼
►
a decision that has nothing to do with
[TS]
00:54:02
◼
►
him and it seems like bad mood because
[TS]
00:54:05
◼
►
you do you think made you think that yes
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
as surprised maybe a little bit uh oh
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
Dolph Lundgren attacks they run they
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
want to set up a meet to baby again
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
still trying hoping against hope that
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
there's going to be a way out of this
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
turns out though that he's not talking
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
to real person he's talking to a puppet
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
being controlled by a virtual reality
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
they a fake person he's talking to
[TS]
00:54:29
◼
►
it's happened to all of us the ghost
[TS]
00:54:31
◼
►
machine appears again and bugs takahashi
[TS]
00:54:34
◼
►
about about doing the right thing and
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
his and his daughter i think at this
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
point and then we get to the scene that
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
makes the movie if you thought the movie
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
was slow before it stops the movie
[TS]
00:54:46
◼
►
gentleman's tracks which is the action
[TS]
00:54:49
◼
►
set piece where they try to get up into
[TS]
00:54:51
◼
►
the bridge which is being patrolled by a
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
couple of idiots
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
it's the comic relief because it's been
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
so tense and dramatic up until now we
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
need these dopes there was neither
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
comedy no relief that occurred in the
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
scene III there there that there is an
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
idiot the bridge speaking things we can
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
I can't even understand
[TS]
00:55:12
◼
►
and they are looking down at are our
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
heroes who are down below at one point
[TS]
00:55:19
◼
►
there's a mistake and they drop a car on
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
the van but they came over in and blow
[TS]
00:55:27
◼
►
it up which should mean something and
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
doesn't it doesn't mean they just sort
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
of sets up the the fact that they have
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
some sort of defensive measure where
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
they can drop this car which they use
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
one other time after this there's
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
another car exactly like this car that
[TS]
00:55:42
◼
►
also blows things up i did like that
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
Jane was just standing there kind of
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
staring off into the distance and Johnny
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
had to come save her from that she's his
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
bodyguard and she did not notice the
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
flaming VW Bug plummeting from the sky
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
I don't know how much of it has to do
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
with the way they decided to make the
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
film i'm assuming that in the short
[TS]
00:56:02
◼
►
story she was a she was much more of the
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
person protecting him then is featured
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
here because it seems almost like this
[TS]
00:56:09
◼
►
is the sort of your traditional latino
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
guy has to protect the girl even though
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
she's supposed to be a ridiculously
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
awesome person you can do anything
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
yeah and yeah yeah weird thats that's
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
exactly right then iced tea comes down
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
his little platform yeah it comes to get
[TS]
00:56:24
◼
►
them we we have we do have a moment in
[TS]
00:56:26
◼
►
here where Johnny this is this is the
[TS]
00:56:29
◼
►
more I find it very bizarre that we're
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
suddenly supposed to sort of I Jenna
[TS]
00:56:32
◼
►
identify with johnny is a person right
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
because this is where he says now I'm
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
responsible for the whole world he rants
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
about wanting laundered shirts or
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
hookers
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►

[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
he's wearing like ski goggles I I
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
thought that was a good look for him now
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
I felt like this might i I can't defend
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
this but I felt like this maybe wasn't
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
supposed to be iced tea or one of the
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
earlier Henry Rollins is wasn't supposed
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
to be Henry Rollins this is the third
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
time we run into ice tea and we went
[TS]
00:57:15
◼
►
running ran into Henry Rollins a couple
[TS]
00:57:17
◼
►
times yes and I don't know it just like
[TS]
00:57:21
◼
►
I didn't have enough characters
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
like why is this the same guy he ran
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
into twice before because we paid money
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
for a skipper is it's also weird because
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
it seems like every time they meet
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
it's like the first time they've ever
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
met yeah there's a lot of who's this guy
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
well you just saw that cut out all of
[TS]
00:57:42
◼
►
the previous ice-t scenes in this film
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
and it's just been this introduction
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
here it would play exactly the same
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
which is which is very peculiar in terms
[TS]
00:57:51
◼
►
of like the with a chose to do with this
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
and also if you cut out all the other
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
seen step for the low-tech thing you'd
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
be like oh LOL a nicety cameo that has
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
nothing to do with anything but he's
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
here and then he's gone and it had
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
nothing to do with anything and then the
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
very beginning same thing I have no idea
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
why they chose to make it so that it
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
doesn't build at all to anything and so
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
is a maybe they were just like I don't
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
know if the scene is gonna work so we
[TS]
00:58:14
◼
►
better construct every time we meet him
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
so that it's just we can be exercised or
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
something it is very peculiar maybe he
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
just has bad short-term memory
[TS]
00:58:23
◼
►
yeah well he has memory problems like
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
shakes uh Johnny almost has a memory of
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
his childhood here he and Gina almost
[TS]
00:58:32
◼
►
kiss in and totally honored way but then
[TS]
00:58:34
◼
►
they don't you just summed up the
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
remains of the day
[TS]
00:58:38
◼
►
yeah haha inside this place and also
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
this is very much like the remains of
[TS]
00:58:45
◼
►
the day inside the ICU check place they
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
have a bunch of tvs oh I love this set
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
design it's just a million TVs a million
[TS]
00:58:53
◼
►
tvs that reminds me Monty of a a public
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
art project you'd see at UC San Diego
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
oh and I'm serious this this is very
[TS]
00:59:02
◼
►
nostalgic for when a million TVs
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
everywhere was a thing you could do like
[TS]
00:59:06
◼
►
you're putting on your low budget play
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
what we do for the set million tvs are
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
wired together so that they are like a

Reeves so that the dolphin can use his

sonic wave power amplified through an
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
antenna to microwave the street preacher
[TS]
01:02:29
◼

basically but it's so slow it is the it
[TS]
01:02:33
◼

is it is the opposite of action it is
[TS]
01:02:36
◼

01:03:04
◼

the microwaves anymore that makes it is
[TS]
01:03:06
◼
►
microwave scientifically sound as
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
microwaves because of the transmitter
[TS]
01:03:09
◼

was a microtransmitter but i might be
[TS]
01:03:12
◼

on the inside and and and he calls /

[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
burrito
[TS]
01:03:47
◼

[TS]
01:03:49
◼
►
inside they start for you and then
[TS]
01:03:50
◼

anyways just what the major third the
[TS]
01:03:53
◼

third image it turns out the third image

[TS]
01:03:58
◼

they're just outputting it is a on the
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
video signal in order to get it into the
[TS]
01:04:35
◼

world using the means that they've got
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►

several points in the movie I mean

brain i actually am i think i mentioned
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
at the beginning I want to get back to
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
44 years later the matrix came out and
[TS]
01:11:43
◼
►
and there are some things these movies
[TS]
01:11:47
◼
►
have in common and and I think it goes
[TS]
01:11:49
◼
►
to show how I you know this this is just
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
like what not to do this is the left
[TS]
01:11:56
◼
►
turn and that's the right turn that
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
there that there are so many things that
[TS]
01:12:00
◼
►
in terms of every aspect of this
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
production that are done well in the
[TS]
01:12:05
◼
►
matrix and and poorly in Johnny mnemonic
[TS]
01:12:07
◼
►
and Keanu Reeves is a good example of
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
that where his character is is not that
[TS]
01:12:12
◼
►
different in some ways between the two
[TS]
01:12:14
◼
►
movies and yet and Keanu Reeves you know
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
he's alive he has a limited actor okay
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
yeah he can be deployed well and in this
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
he is he is left to drown by the
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
director
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
yeah and i mean it's it's so weird that
[TS]
01:12:31
◼
►
there are only four years apart too
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
because I mean it's like you said about
[TS]
01:12:35
◼
►
Max Headroom feeling more advanced even
[TS]
01:12:38
◼
►
that was 9 years earlier and and this
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
feels like a late seventies early

01:12:44
◼
►
eighties take on what will the computers
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
be like right

01:12:51
◼
►
overdrawn at the memory bank film with
[TS]
01:12:54
◼
►
another no oh yes it is that the MST did

01:12:59
◼
►
what virtual reality will be like and
[TS]
01:13:01
◼
►

[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►

[TS]
01:13:11
◼
►
and I seem to recall that they were very
[TS]
01:13:13
◼
►
many people who were like yes I totally
[TS]
01:13:15
◼
►
want to do that and I i totally would i
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
I've never side never seen it before and
[TS]
01:13:19
◼
►
I've read all
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
of william gibson's novels and i was
[TS]
01:13:22
◼
►
very interested in how wrong it could be
[TS]
01:13:24
◼
►
and it is
[TS]
01:13:25
◼
►
yeah it is it is banned all phases it is
[TS]
01:13:28
◼
►
it's it's there are some ideas in here
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
but even they are so poorly i don't know
[TS]
01:13:33
◼
►
what I expect I expected something kind
[TS]
01:13:36
◼
►
of incompetently done where I things
[TS]
01:13:40
◼
►
that you know they they tried really
[TS]
01:13:42
◼
►
hard to be something more and it just
[TS]
01:13:45
◼
►
fell apart and and yet watching it I
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
didn't feel like that at all I felt like
[TS]
01:13:49
◼
►
it was kind of sluggish and lazy and and
[TS]
01:13:53
◼
►
and pulling on the tropes of cyberpunk
[TS]
01:13:55
◼
►
but never really getting what made
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
cyberpunk stuff great across and maybe
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
that has to do with I mean look you've
[TS]
01:14:04
◼
►
got a screenplay written by a novelist
[TS]
01:14:07
◼
►
and directed at a film directed by a
[TS]
01:14:10
◼
►
sculptor Scott you know he's Jason you
[TS]
01:14:13
◼
►
hate the accident while the actors are
[TS]
01:14:16
◼
►
dentists the set designers were floor
[TS]
01:14:19
◼
►
well what if what if the edges are
[TS]
01:14:20
◼
►
actors are claiming matagi fer ya one of
[TS]
01:14:23
◼
►
the actresses rock musician the
[TS]
01:14:25
◼
►
cinematographer is it off apologist it
[TS]
01:14:28
◼
►
just goes on and on and on with people
[TS]
01:14:30
◼
►
not doing their jobs that's you're
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
exactly right that it feels like someone
[TS]
01:14:34
◼
►
taking those troops it feels like a lazy
[TS]
01:14:37
◼
►
ripoff of William Gibbs I know what
[TS]
01:14:39
◼
►
that's the baffling thing about him
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
being to a screenplay grab it like the
[TS]
01:14:44
◼
►
few good things that are in it are
[TS]
01:14:46
◼
►
clearly it's like oh yeah thats I
[TS]
01:14:47
◼
►
remember that from the story or I
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
remember that from just Gibson himself
[TS]
01:14:50
◼
►
or just general cyberpunk and then it's
[TS]
01:14:53
◼
►
as if it was put together by monkeys
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
after the fact that yet
[TS]
01:14:56
◼
►
well I honestly kind of enjoy ice tea in
[TS]
01:14:59
◼
►
this just because he's so close to his
[TS]
01:15:01
◼
►
performance in tank girl which is a
[TS]
01:15:03
◼
►
movie that makes less sense but is a ton
[TS]
01:15:06
◼
►
more fun
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
yeah I think that's also one of those
[TS]
01:15:08
◼
►
things where I also haven't seen this
[TS]
01:15:10
◼
►
before even though I just make sure i'll
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
talk about it because it is fascinating
[TS]
01:15:13
◼
►
but the the the thing was I thought that
[TS]
01:15:16
◼
►
it would be more of a point and laugh at
[TS]
01:15:19
◼
►
kind of like look look look at this and
[TS]
01:15:22
◼
►
this is hilarious and this is fun and
[TS]
01:15:24
◼
►
they did some sort of self-awareness
[TS]
01:15:26
◼
►
perhaps but there is there is none of
[TS]
01:15:28
◼
►
that there
[TS]
01:15:29
◼
►
is there is no reaching for the stars to
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
to make a great movie and falling short
[TS]
01:15:34
◼
►
there is no you know a attempt at poking
[TS]
01:15:38
◼
►
fun at their own inability to deliver on
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
the budget they have because they had a
[TS]
01:15:42
◼
►
lot of money and in it just went up
[TS]
01:15:45
◼
►
being this much that it I don't fight
[TS]
01:15:49
◼
►
the feeling at all
[TS]
01:15:50
◼
►
yeah shame and as it as a fan of Max
[TS]
01:15:56
◼
►
Headroom which was you know which is a
[TS]
01:15:57
◼
►
very cyberpunk TV show
[TS]
01:16:00
◼
►
I you know I I was baffled by this
[TS]
01:16:03
◼
►
because like oh there's so many things
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
that they could have done that they
[TS]
01:16:06
◼
►
didn't do instead it's just some cheesy
[TS]
01:16:08
◼
►
you know some cheesy 3d you know effects
[TS]
01:16:12
◼
►
of the of the VR world and even the VR

Little and like this i think but they
[TS]
01:16:30
◼
►
this is not the height of their game and
[TS]
01:16:34
◼
►
it is very clearly something that just
[TS]
01:16:36
◼
►
looks like Lawnmower Man and in many
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
ways sort of just as a cleaned-up more
[TS]
01:16:44
◼
►
polished version of what lon Moore man
[TS]
01:16:46
◼
►
was which I don't think anybody was like

◼
►
cyberpunk movie
