INTRO

Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack we “Jack In” … uh … “Jack on” … uh … “jack oo awww” … no can’t say that … We put on our sim-stim rubber … uhhhh … brain thing? … uh … we carefully place a SQUID on our head and cover it with a wig … and take a trip back to 1995 for a real mind fuh uuhh … head scratcher of a movie about the last days of the retro future past of 1999 when shit looked like it was about to go sideways for humanity…phew…we put that off for another 23 years. You got to have faith a faith a faith … baaaby.

Anywho, hand me my shoe box full of “As good as cash Rolexes”, defunct Double Chexes product placement and “Boy we were wrong about Mini Disc that we called Tapes” cause I’m about to pleasure your cortex with a brain to brain recording/playback of a 50 year old man taking a shower in 2023. Let’s go! Yeah do you feel that…yeah..the water hitting your body like little knives being stabbed into your back by your best friend…yeah…oops..you dropped the soap because you are old…you just have to carefully lean over and …oh no…you slipped and now you are falling like your so called best friend gravity 20 stories from the side of a building… and now you are naked, bleeding and curled up in the bottom of the tub and the water is getting cold. Ok..that’s all you get for today… Oh…you said you wanted to experience what it is like to be an 18 year old girl showering… yeah I don’t have that and if I did I wouldn’t share it with you … perv. now stop rubbing yourself and making noises…gross!

Randy, Have you ever tapped in… ohh… Slutty/Virgin brain.

BRIEF

1995 ‧ Sci-fi/Thriller ‧ 2h 25m

Former policeman Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) has moved into a more lucrative trade: the illegal sale of virtual reality-like recordings that allow users to experience the emotions and past experiences of others. While the bootlegs typically contain tawdry incidents, Nero is shocked when he receives one showing a murder. He enlists a friend, bodyguard Mace (Angela Bassett), to help find the killer — and the two soon stumble upon a vast conspiracy involving the police force Nero once worked for.
