Cyberpunk is lowlife and high tech. It’s completely dystopian. The early 1980s was the height of the Cold War with Reagan in power. People were not optimistic about the future in the 1980s, they were just hoping that it wouldn’t end in a nuclear war.
Terminator (1984), Terminator 2 (1991), and The Matrix (1999) have entered the chat…
The third, believe it or not, windows 95 desktop background.
Don’t forget Mad Max
Mad Marx
Soylent Green. Alphaville. Logan’s Run. A Clockwork Orange.
Planet of the Apes.
Oh man. Soylent Green is pretty fucking close to what we’re living right now.
I hate every chimp I see, from chimpan-a to shimpan-z
Rock me Dr. Zaius!
I love legitimate thee-ay-ter
Spoiler for Planet of the Apes
Lest we forget Blade Runner (1982)
Blade Runner still had civilization. I’m not sure we’ll be that lucky.
Gad civilization… in the far flung future of 2019! 😉
Deckard missed Covid!
Terminator: “War is inevitable.”
Terminator 2: “Actually, maybe not.”
Terminator 3: “Oh yeah, never mind, there it is.”
Me putting the 3rd in to rewatch if it was that bad:
Terminator: Arnie is the bad guy
Terminator 2: no wait, the first one made him a huge star so he’s the hero now!
Terminator 3: Quick, let’s squeeze one last one out before he becomes The Governator in a few months!
I thought Terminator 4 was pretty good, but I like that you didn’t even give an opinion on Terminator 5
Would be pretty unfair of me anyway, since I’ve only seen the first two myself 😁
MelodiousFunk: They made a Terminator 3?
Apparently 🤷🏻
True Names (1981), Software (1982), Neuromancer (1984), Hardwired (1986), Wetware (1988)
