What movie do you want to see that doesn’t exist?
Here are mine, though I may have missed a few.
Today:
speaking of sliding doors, looking both ways, and b button’s collision course… I want to watch a movie where there’s a parallel world that is exactly identical to ours, just on a time delay, and discovered at the same trans-moment by the same person/group, but both versions are debating whether to break the fourth wall and make first contact, or how to tell (or how to keep it from) others who may misuse the info, & all the ramifications. Turns out there’s lots of parallels, and all the parallels are identical except for being on a time delay (or… we are, relative to them)… because they are now-slices. Hehehehehe bear with me here. Now.

I want to watch a movie where a cult of mad scientists clone people from history to make the philosopher kings, etc., of Plato’s Republic, try to indoctrinate them with the ideology of those who would do such a thing, but let them fall into the hands of a Christian philosopher who converts them using Plato.
July 16
I want to watch a movie where 16 Psyche is a sort of Trojan horse programmed by its host civilization to home in on any signals or whatever that try to capture it, because it is inhabited by the last living inhabitants of a no longer habitable planet. Once it gets close enough to assess our response to impending doom, it stops advancing. It assesses our response to its stasis. From there, it determines what to do with us.

I want to watch a movie about antiheroes called the Mad-Libbers. They are a faction of (or similar to) Anonymous. Their nano technology is able to suggest speech-act words (or delusions… or inceptions) to people, who may or may not be aware their mind is not the origin of the suggestion. Throughout the movie it is unclear if these antiheroes are good or evil. It is a mystery unsolved until the end.

I want to watch a movie with this moral: Live your life like people in heaven get to invisibly visit any part of time. The more people you impact, the more people you’re going to get visiting parts of your life, which increases the chances you’ll get some knucklehead that doesn’t know how to stay totally invisible. You won’t get any graffiti or litter, but …you might get embarrassed, etc.

I want to watch a movie where the dumbasses knock the earth off its axis or mess up its spin like it’s a fricken game of marbles.
Can’t beat the Gamer. Why don’t you ask him for the cheat code?

ohhhhh!!! I want to watch a movie where the more you share your thoughts … digitally or otherwise, if they have boots on the ground … the more they (T.H.E.Y.) can use it to trick you into thinking they (& those you know who also share) are irreversibly in your head.
But there’s folks who aren’t fooled, and …turn it around for good.
Main character might have to be a good liar. lol
Oct 10
I want to see a movie where artificial intelligence researchers think they have reverse engineered consciousness when actually they have tapped in to a certain variety of non-local consciousness that does not declare its identity until the very moment they think they have achieved world domination. Boo!
LOLZ ohhhhhhhh yeahhhhh

I want to watch a Hallmark movie this holiday season (you ever laugh so much you can’t finish?) (I have more self control than you) (jk) where the top wealthy folk who run everything behind the scenes have their evil plan backfire to the point they all get simultaneously converted and redistribute their wealth without being asked (they are left with plenty), and world peace and world hunger/housing crises are resolved within the first 100 days from conversion, but not in a way that helps lazy people stay lazy (instead they are motivated to contribute something they love that benefits others…or go hungry/houseless…because the “New World Order” won’t be a dictatorship nor a babysitter). Governments just stand back and cut red tape, everyone starts converting, wellness increases, and sharing catches like a virus.
Brought to you by Hallmark.

I want to watch a ghost movie that uses neuroscience to explain at a quantum level what in physical reality enables a disembodied spirit to maintain contact in the physical universe, but also what binds it to a living body with which they identify (while alive), as well as a living body that either invites it or rejects it.
But at the same time I don’t want to watch it. That’s playing with fire in the holiest of holies right there.
But if the movie was done well it would be very delicate and do justice to all the ethical concerns this triggers.
And if it wanted to go way over the top it would play around with why aliens have huge heads, black eyes, and skinny bodies: battery powering AI in head, no blood or brain or digestive system or anything, techno eyes. All that in one movie??? I’d pay double.
Sep 23
I want to watch a movie where evil scientists harnessed consciousness’ on/off switch with technology based off that “ancient” virus and used it during riots… explaining why at one point they encouraged riots… and then riots just … stopped … even though sh** got more real. Ug actually I’d skip that movie. Hmmmm no I’d prolly watch it. Cuz there would have to be uncontrollable outliers. For the sake of drama, of course. There always are.
Sep 14
I wanna watch a scary movie about people uplinked into a hive mind unbeknownst to them until they realize their new pattern of thoughts are new because they are originating from other actual people. These other actual people may or may not yet know that their thoughts are being co-thunk by other actual people. Once they do know, things get awkward. What thoughts would you (dis)allow if you knew everyone else was thinking them? What do you think about those close to you that you don’t necessarily want them to know?
How does your secret, not-so-secret garden grow?
once they’re in… unless you learn(ed) to hold every thought captive… and ignore the crap into oblivion… they’re in
mask up LOLZ nahhh masks off that’s hilarious

ohhhhhh dude. I want to read a book (note I didn’t say watch a movie) about a war between two factions of super rich people. One faction has a conscience, while the other faction does not. The faction without a conscience wants to create a global neural network. The faction with a conscience wants to stop them and threatens to do this using technology that interrupts semiconductor systems. It’s nerds against nerds and they’re both trying to avoid a panic. The ones without a conscience want to blame it on the sun, earthquakes, …climate change. lolz awesome
The aforementioned global neural network is like a reverse Matrix where this actually is the legit real world, but the Smiths want everyone linked into a mind matrix.

Movie I want to watch: A vaccine for a new virus renders all antibodies inert and erases all immunity.
Aug 4
Movie I don’t want to watch: Population control masked by administering end-of-life palliative drugs to undesirables put on ventilators during pandemic, body disposal masked by wildfires.
“You yourselves admitted it wasn’t that harmful when you refused the vaccination.”
What a shitty movie.
June 26
I want to watch a movie with a super villain named Strain who’s whatever (catch phrase?) is “I’m a different strain of human.“
June 10
I want to watch a movie where an evil genius builds their empire off the grid in high elevations defended by dry docked battle ships & melts the ice at north & south poles with lasers from undetected satellites until all rivals are under water, and how that would affect the global environment/climate.
May 7
I want to watch a movie or read a book about military AI researchers who use reverse engineering and neural stem cells for the AI’s consciousness, who figure out on accident how to activate parts of the brain that basically function like Wi-Fi, and inadvertently activate it for erryboday!!! OK go.
Mar 25
I want to watch a bioterrorism movie where an ivy league gang of mad rogue virologists manufacture a virus & its vaccine and hold the vaccine for ransom after initiating a pandemic. Oh & they’re also computer geeks who take over all digital communication to inform the public that all govs are letting them die rather than negotiate with terrorists. And for periods of time they shut down any infrastructure that relies on Internet. They are stopped when Israeli, Russian, Chinese, North Korean, and Iranian nerds have to make their governments cooperate with the U.S. to minimize damage and obtain the terrorists. The only compromise they’ll accept to end everything is the public execution of Hilary Clinton & Donald Trump, who they blame for all the world’s problems… but we figure out a way around it. lol make it so
Mar 17
I want to watch a scifi movie that has a version of the golden rule that puts human in place of self and alien & artificial intelligence in place of other/neighbor. Make it so.

I want to watch a movie (better: read a book) about hackers communicating with the people via hacked smart traffic signal code language.
