Requiem for a dream
Beef. What a ride.
The Lighthouse. I still don’t know what the hell happened.
Dogville from 2003

The book is better IMO (other than no Portman :-) and one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever read. Highly recommended.
Did you read all three books? Got real WTF in book 2 and 3.
Yes, I read them all the same week (bad weather kept me inside). Yesterday I read the Silo Stories (3?) in his Machine Learning anthology. I liked the first book and the short stories the best.
The movie was about cancer? Where did you read that?! The movie is the closest movie approximation of the book Alex Garland could make, considering how dense and intertwined the whole Southern Reach Trilogy is.

Sorry if my question sounded like an attack 😬 Vandermeer’s writing style deliberately opens his work to different interpretations and it’s rather interesting to see the same happening with this movie adaptation. Another interesting angle I’ve read is environmental: either in a way that Area X is return to nature (purification) or it’s the opposite (our own destruction of the planet) Getting ready to re-read the whole trilogy, will definitely include this guy’s cancer perspective as I am going through to see how it fits.
2001 A Space Odyssey
Part 3 of that movie be like…
EXistenZ - The final question “Are we still in the game?” really summarized the first watch experience. You have no clue what’s going on anymore by that point. Same goes for Total Recall by the way - that movie also has you guessing what’s real and what isn’t throughout 90% of the runtime.
Spun
Films super wild, also Brittany Murphy’s last role as well.
Edit: Altered States is another WTF movie.
2014 Predestination, you can’t really say anything about this film and not spoil it. well perhaps except Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook starring in it
It’s based on Robert Heinleins - All You Zombies. I think.
And I’d say is one of the more faithful adaptations of a short sf story to film. There are a couple of additions, but in general is extremely close.
Everything everywhere all at once, but in a good way
Serial Experiments Lain
Dark City
Eraserhead
Black mirror.
Seriously. That’s a show where I could only do one or two at a time.
I dropped it after 3rd Episode.
Third episode of which season?
Season 1
You missed out on some good episodes. They don’t all relate to each other either, it’s like the Twilight zone you can pick up and just watch one.
Sausage party.
That final scene… Lol
the part when eveyone is having a gangbang still haunt me
