I usually don't like Time Travel films but Predestination was fun just for the time-twists. If you haven't seen it I recommend it but you absolutely have to watch it unspoiled. I would even avoid the trailer.

I was shocked when I heard they were adapting it and even more shocked when it turned out great

oh cool we're to the point again in the sci-fi thread where no matter what someone wants to talk about, someone else immediately comes in to say it sucks fun while it lasted i guess, see y'all in the next one

(footage of young happy couple at a picnic) Remember the good days? Despite the bad? (footage from a hospice with the man dying, the young woman crying) Relive the old days (cut back to the picnic, old woman smiling while watching from behind a tree) And have a lil fun too (old woman approaches from behind tree. All three are overcome with joy of recognition. Then they have a three way.)

but instead of sending you back in time they just plant the memories in your brain that you went back and time and 3sumed themselves and their partner, until they come across someone who actually had already done it but had their memory erased to hide how awesome it was

The rich will always value authenticity and will pay top dollar to gently caress themselves with their real flesh and blood

his typeface was used in a lot of computer ads and documentation in the 1980s and late 1970swikipedia posted:The font is used on the cover of 1980s Stephen King novels, The Smiths album Strangeways, Here We Come, for the book covers of the Choose Your Own Adventure series, The Bitmap Brothers game The Chaos Engine, as well as in the logos of both the National Assembly of Quebec and the Melbourne Knights.[5] The typeface is featured in the main titles of the Star Trek films, Star Trek Generations and Star Trek: First Contact, as well as video game Nier: Automata. Paramount's FBI warning, from 1995–present, also uses ITC Benguiat.[6] The font is also used in the logo of the American rock band Greta Van Fleet, in the logo for Netflix show Stranger Things, and in the album art for rapper Logic's album Supermarket. The font is used for the logo written and directed by Quentin Tarantino in the beginning of his films.

I'm sure someone in the 1900s would have said the same thing.
