- breck 6y agoThe Prior-Units theorem states that if you can put an idea into words, there exists prior units in proportion to the utility of the idea (so there's an infinity of novel but useless ideas). Is there a variant of this along those lines but in regards to "someone made a movie about this"?
- granularity 6y agoIf you like bad movies, this one manages to be bad on a number of interesting dimensions at the same time. Highly recommended!
- gambiting 6y agoHaving read the book, I'm just amazed anyone could have read it and go "we should make a movie out of this!" And I love all of Lem's writing.
- scarecrowbob 6y agoI watched the movie and had to read the wiki page about the novel to follow it. And I'm a) no longer smoking weed, b) used to teach a history of film class in a lit department at a university, b) also enjoyed Lem when I was reading those works. I enjoyed the film, but it's very difficult to read without at least a glance at a synopsis of the source material.
- hairofadog 6y agoThe movie 'Cam' is actually pretty good, but its concept is that the AI takes 100% and pays the actor 0%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(film)
- telesilla 6y agoMore interesting is the book it's loosely based on, where protagonist is split between delusional and real mental states. Stanislav Lem's The Futurological Congress, excellent read.
