if you do some searches on alibaba you can prob get a lot more for your outlay for buying like a ten-item bulk order. there might even be the base material to buy by the roll but I didn’t see it after a brief look.

eg: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Bula-Luminous-Geometric-Color-Change-Bag_60805483094.html

hundred bucks plus shipping.

The most immediately evocative song on Fear Of Music is the most harrowing: Life During Wartime, set in a fictional future, say tomorrow - when snipers on the streets and suburban guerilla warfare are the norm.

Byrne reckons he's ready for the inevitable: "Living in New York, you have to be. There will be chronic food shortages and gas shortages and people will live in hovels. Paradoxically, they'll be surrounded by computers the size of wrist watches. Calculators will be cheap. It'll be as easy to hookup your computer with a central television bank as it is to get the week's groceries.

"I think we'll be cushioned by amazing technological development and sitting on Salvation Army furniture. Everything else will be crumbling. It doesn't bother me too much, but it isn't something to look forward to. Government surveillance becomes inevitable, because there's this dilemma when you have an increase in information storage. A lot of it is for your convenience - but as more information gets on file it's bound to be misused.

"Electronic banking, where you never meet a teller or stand in a queue, is already common, and that system can only get more prevalent.

"A funny thing is that as computers do inventories the crimes may be fewer but are far more costly to the company. People can alter the programme, spin money off and go undetected for years.

"I read a book about computer crimes before I left. For example, one guy printed up a number of fake deposit slips and hid them with the blanks they keep in banks for customer's use; they all had his personal number on. After three days in which people had been depositing huge sums of money into his account, he withdrew it and split. There was no way to catch him.

"Another person had a touch-tone phone hook up to the General Electric master computer in Los Angeles. He was ordering vast supplies of wire, cables, you name it, storing it in a warehouse then selling it. These companies are so huge they don't figure anything is up. Eventually he got too arrogant and tried to sell them their own gear back."

Huh, apparently David Byrne is not just an OG punk rocker but also an OG cyberpunk. Here's an interview with him from 1979:


Amazingly prescient considering the Apple II, TRS-80, and PET were only 2 years old at the time and the VIC-20 and ZX80 (probably the first truly "cheap" home computers) wouldn't debut until the next year.

Saw Alita: Battle Angel last night. It was about 90% cyberpunk. Could have used a little bit more Neon and a few less background extras who were just schlubby folks dressed like theme park tourists.

I'm interested in seeing that but prepared for it to be awful. I was a big fan of the original comic series back in the 90s but I was also a big fan of Ghost in the Shell and that live-action adaptation was a loving disaster.

I would be so hype for this movie if they left off the CG for just her and had her running around in the labeled ALITA CYBERGIRL mocap suit.

Mostly Rosa Salazar's acting. She brings a lot more to the weird anime doll than anyone should expect. But for the purposes of this thread: the aesthetic.

gonadic io posted:

I feel like the movie gained nothing from having her character be cg. on that behind the scenes clip I got this image from, they kept saying stuff like "we want the audience to forget they're looking at a cg character"

tarintino has one actress per film whose shoes he takes off then he, the director, literally chokes them out. how much do people usually charge for them to let you choke them unconscious?

he always does the choking out personally himself
