What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:

Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

So my ex and I went to the theatres with the intention of having sex during a movie, and we picked out cabin in the woods.

We were the only people there, except for an older guy a couple rows ahead of us.

We started messing around in the beginning, but ended up stopping (kind of) and watching the whole thing. The whole premise was pretty cool, the old gods and shit.

But the matrix?

They should have stopped after the animatrix.....

I just watched resurrection for the 2nd time, and holy fuck. The meta shit explaining they made the movie cause it was either them or wb is gonna do it was fuckin stupid. The whole love angle seemed SUPER stretched too...

I almost wonder if it would have been better without any of the original cast.

I also wanna know how much screen time was spent on flashbacks to previous movies.

I can't wait to ignore abother steaming pile of shit coming out of hollywood.

What does having sex during a screening of Cabin in the Woods have to do with the matrix?
