The best logical selection following an early punk cinema revival that involves Suburbia and Ladies & Gentleman has to be a fresh, stimulating dose of mid-90's computer-punk magic.
So much offered in these:
❖ Patrick Stewart with a perfect moustache.
❖ The internet painted as an explorable, massive, 8-Bit glowing city within an endless digital vacuum.
❖ Early commentary on the dangers of electronically controlled markets and infrastructures
(blogging this...ironic?)
❖ Gameboy-shell laptops thicker than Little Caesar boxes
❖ Macintosh as a company. Apple as a company. Separate.
❖ Vincent Kartheiser cast playing the role of a savant (antithetical)
❖ Matthew Lilliard with eyeliner. (not really antithetical)
❖ Jonny Lee Miller attempting smeared yankee colloquialisms.
❖ Angelina Jolie in the period of her life where she still ate food.
❖ ...and, the biggest prize, triple XL tee-shirts with Audio company logos and every variation of fishnet ever dreamt up dominating the youth's low-fashion with a fierce tenacity.
Kinda brings you back don't it?
