It has a lot of connections to a movie from the 1960s called Peeping Tom as well. <br /><br />It tends to be underrated or overlooked, which is a shame. Since it didn't come close to accurately predicting the near future, people have more or less forgotten about it.<br /><br />Were you somewhere where the shipping was more convenient, I'd send you my copy.

Unf...Holy crap—it was directed by Kathryn Bigelow?<br /><br />Unfortunately, it's not available via Amazon Prime Video. I'll try iTunes.<br /><br />Aaaaannnnd...<br /><br />It's not on iTunes, either. Amazon Prime says, "Our agreements with the content provider don’t allow purchases of this title at this time. This title is currently unavailable."<br /><br />Well, damn. And I guess the same goes for iTunes, even though iTunes doesn't have a similar message.<br /><br />I'm in Korea, where there are tons of illegal ways to obtain a movie (and that's one reason why the "title not available in your location" warning pops up quite often at legitimate storefronts), but I'd rather remain aboveboard with my movie purchases. The search goes on. Maybe a DVD...?Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-18444959572969331982019-05-30T22:30:33.779+09:002019-05-30T22:30:33.779+09:00Is that the one with Angela Bassett and Ralph Fien...Is that the one with Angela Bassett and Ralph Fiennes?

You should track that...Have you seen Strange Days?<br /><br />You should track that one down, as a great deal of the plot revolves around technology that allows people to record their experiences and allow other people to then live them in a sort of virtual reality. People record themselves (for instance) robbing liquor stores, and then sell the clips, which allows other people the visceral thrill of the crime without the risk. The biggest black market is in what are called "blackjack" clips--where the recorder dies during the event.<br /><br />A lot of this ends up as secondary plot, but it's a similar idea.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
