My grandmother graduated law school at the age of 65 and practiced for the next 15 years. It’s never too late.

As others have stated, the world building does a lot of heavy lifting in that movie where the explicit chsracterisation is perhaps weaker. The movie is not really supposed to be a character study, it is, like many sci-fi stories, about a hypothetical future and the extrapolation and exploration of humanity in that new world. The characters are there to help move the plot along and expose us to the events and interactions that take place, rather than as deep and nuanced people.

The cinematography is really spectacular and, even just from a technical perspective, totally mindblowing. The long shots convey chaos and tension in a way not many films had done before (or since) and I found them to be wholly immersive. I used to watch this movie a lot in a formative time of my life and it is still one of my favourites but I can totally understand why it didn’t resonate with you if you didn’t like the premise and were left cold by the characterisation. I would guess it just isn’t your kind of movie, which is totally fine.

Just got to see a Halloween screening of this! Absolutely batshit movie with a terrific wardrobe.

Crazy that all the comments are either text files kept from the early-mid 90s or stuff from literally 5 years ago! Mine are mp3s I downloaded from RnB remux forums c. 2004-ish while in high school.

Also coding music. Paysage has got me through many a late night.

It’s actually kinda crazy how many films use this or a very similar premise. There’s also vanilla sky, the skin I live in, and seconds.

Thought this one was more apt personally.

Do both. Movers for the big items, friends to help with logistics and for smaller stuff. Moving sucks and having friends around even just for support is awesome.

They are both terrific movies bit quite different I’d say. TTSS is much more about the intrigue/double-crossing/spy stuff, whereas The Lives of Others is more of a character study.

As an aside, the BBC series of TTSS with Alec Guiness is still the best and any fan of the movie/book who hasn’t seen it should remedy that ASAP.

God I love Brick. Watched it countless times growing up and don’t see it talked about enough online.

Exactly. Modern Windows is like Tesla - shiny exterior built on top of garbage cobbled together with paperclips and duct tape. No visible knobs, no easy to access features, everything hidden behind layers of needless menus and abstraction with the express goal to extract maximum value from their ‘customers’.

I’m not an Apple fanboy by any means but I feel like the two ecosystems are much closer now than they were 10-15 years ago.

Haha, came here to say that too.

We’re cooked cat

This has been a thing on British-speaking dating app profiles for at least 10 years to the point that I absolutely hate it now.

Seconding this. Came from using foobar on windows and strawberry has hit all the right notes. Great piece of software.

I use JS and TS semi-regularly and got 5/28 🤡

Regular psylocibin usage helps me maintain perspective a lot.

FYI it’s called Czechia now :)
