ClassicCmp Survivor Series!

I got a lot more out of _eXisTenZ_, but maybe that's just because Cronenberg's so talented and disturbing. Something about his biomechanical aesthetic (a la Naked Lunch) and profound uneasiness (a la Videodrome) really turns my crank. -carl "John Allain" &lt;allain(a)panix.com&gt; To: &lt;classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org&gt; Sent by: cc: owner-classiccmp@clas Subject: Re: ClassicCmp Survivor Series! siccmp.org 07/10/01 03:47 PM Please respond to classiccmp <rave> There was a movie called "The Thirteenth Floor" made in 1999 that had this as the basis, Computer simulations as all encompassing alternate universes. In case you thought the movie sucked or, further that is doesn't apply to the 10 year rule... It is based on a story "Counterfeit World / Simulachron-3", published in, get this, 1964... and serialized for German TV in 1974 by Fassbinder. Just in case you thought VR was a unique idea. Galouye must've had something going, when you think of what computers were actually doing in 64. John A. </rave>
