Longlegs (2024)
Posted By Balor
Re: Longlegs (2024)

While it's not the best movie ever, I thought it was solid and it lived up to my expectations. It's main flaw, to me, was that it didn't draw out the investigation longer.

Re: CHAT GPT is just one of many AI conversational bots

I didn't even consider the environmental impact. That's horrible. As if AI wasn't bad enough.

Poll: Videodrome vs. The Fly?

Re: Videodrome vs. The Fly?

I enjoyed both very much, but I felt that Videodrome brought out a lot more interesting, realistic, and and disturbing philosophical issues related to technology and media.

Re: The dangers of (re)watching films with a subconscious bias

I think it is definitely best to go into movies (or books or music, for that matter) with as open a perspective as possible. The only counterpoint that I would add, however, is that sometimes...
