movies with this vibe

magnolia pi waking life butterfly effect matrix etc. i havent yet seen existenz but its on my list (i watch a total of like 5 movies per year so i will get to it eventually) i really love this era of like philosophical exploration mixed with the aesthetics and mood of the time, so sleek but grungy and serious. i also like how gigantic the themes feel. if you know of any others please comment!! i honestly love anything with a blue or green tint and "trippy" narrative i cant lie

the internet didnt kill counterculture--you just wont find it online

read from 2021 abt modern counterculture, rejecting tech overlords, and the dark forests of the internet "To be truly countercultural today, in a time of tech hegemony, one has to, above all, betray the platform, which may come in the form of betraying or divesting from your public online self.”

all good sex is body horror by becca rothfield

well-written article analyzing cronenburg's films and contrasting them with today's sexual politics and lack of eroticism. passage i enjoyed: In fact, we are not impermeable packages of preformed desires, importing our likes and dislikes around with us from one encounter to the next like papers in a briefcase. An erotic craving is inextricable from the ferment that foams up when oneself is sluiced into another. Not only is it impossible for us to know whether an encounter will be deflating or transformative but we cannot know what sort of metamorphosis will ensue if the sex is as jarring as we can only hope it will be.
