Cross-posted from [email protected]. Yeah I know it’s on archive.org not youtube, but that’s OK according to the mod over there.
Whether or not eXistenZ is cyberpunk or not was previously discussed here.
notes from the original post:
Existenz (stylized as eXistenZ) is a 1999 science fiction horror film written, produced and directed by David Cronenberg. The film follows Allegra Geller (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a game designer who finds herself targeted by assassins while playing a virtual reality game of her own creation.
An international co-production between Canada, the United Kingdom, and France, it also stars Jude Law, Ian Holm, Don McKellar, Callum Keith Rennie, Sarah Polley, Christopher Eccleston, Willem Dafoe, and Robert A. Silverman.
I like how I scrolled past a post and a whole ass movie started playing.
Hey, do you mind saying what client you’re using to read this? I mostly use a web browser and that didn’t happen for me, so I’m interested in trying out another client to see what things look like.
I’m using Boost with a proxy level ad blocker
Thanks for the info, it looks like a bug/feature in Boost when dealing with movie files from archive.org, a situation that probably doesn’t happen that often. On the bright side, the movie stopped playing when I scrolled past it, so it isn’t too bad. It looks like video ads work the same way, so it would only be particularly noticeable when ads aren’t showing in Boost. It was an interesting experience, seeing all my favorite communities in another interface, I’ll have to check out a couple others!
It’s a decent ui, some weirdness here and there, with new comment highlighting for example. It didn’t play in its entirety but it did start and I closed the app anyway to save data.
