| John2290 said: I've been watching them too, lol. Some are relieving because of the hollywood aspect, some are a comedy based on current events and some are a fucking horror akin to how I imagine Catholics took the Exorsist in the 70's. I faintly remember 12 monkeys but after seeing the last 10 years pass, I don't think there is much legit sci fi that is off the books, I watched V for Vendetta again this evening after someone posted a clip in this thread and I couldn't stop thinking, of something I thought was such far fetched fiction, could actually happen and happen as within a fraction of a generation. I re-read 1984 just last year and we are so close to that outcome it's fucking silly, the saying sci fi becomes science fact has never been more frightening and the only fucking solace is that we get to choose what path of science fact we route onto. I'm legit scared at this point. |
I've watched Contagion as well since this began, curious to see what they got right and what was all nonsense.
I started watching Pandemic on Netflix as well but it has put me to sleep several times now lol. But good watch for those that think the flu is just ignored as a problem...
Outbreak, glad it didn't come to that!
12 Monkeys is Terry Gilliam at his best, one of my favorite movies. For time travel, not the disease part.
I watched V for Vendetta a long time ago, I found it a rather boring movie tbh.
Watch Children of men, amazing movie! It feels like Half-life 2 the movie at some points. It's pretty much about what happens when some genetic modified plants accidentally sterilize the whole human race... 30 years later, no children left.
No need to be scared. Take life one day at a time, enjoy the clear skies. No point worrying about what might happen. In the end, it's never as bad as your own imagination or that of Hollywood.
