Lockdown Playlist

ODaily · April 4, 2020, 8:33pm

With so many of us home confined, we should start collecting a movie playlist for 'borg themed entertainment. Some are gonna be obvious, but maybe we discover, or rediscover, a few gems.

So, to start.
Johnny Mnemonic
RoboCop
Chappie

What else have you got?

Universal Soldier (You didn’t say it had to be good)
iRobot
Upgrade
Alita
Ghost in the shell
Bicentennial Man
Automata
Morgan

Another one starting with E I can’t remember the name… searching

Disregard, it was existenz (gamer movie) Tron like… not cyborg like

Elysium

DrinkABeard · April 5, 2020, 2:06pm

Matrix?

Kinanizer · April 5, 2020, 2:57pm

No one has mentioned the Blade Runner movies yet.

SammichBrad · April 5, 2020, 3:09pm

Iron Man 3 (sorta? He injects trackers into his arms to command his suits)
Gattaca
More Transhumanism than specifically 'borg, but Limitless is cool (and underrated, imo, especially the show)

everything else I can think of was already mentioned. so late to this party heh

CanuckCold · April 5, 2020, 3:59pm

Blade Runner, Matrix and Ghost in the Shell are like the requirements for any playlist

Backpackingvet · April 5, 2020, 7:46pm

My suggestion is a song. Robo Kitty

Some classic anime (mostly) from the golden era? Varying degrees of quality;

Parasite Dolls
Armitage series
Cyber City Oedo
Genocyber
Neo Tokyo
Ergo Proxy

And whilst BLAME! was made into a CGI anime series, I would 300% recommend reading the manga series as well as the mangaka’s other works like ‘NOiSE’ and ‘Aposimz’ … some of the most awesome worlds

NiamhAstra · April 6, 2020, 7:29am

Just “rented” Aeon Flux, it’s interesting so far.

Pilgrimsmaster · April 6, 2020, 7:53am

You probably should have watched the Cartoon shorts first

Aemun · April 6, 2020, 8:38am

This is recommended way to little in my opinion. It is such a good show.

Backpackingvet · April 6, 2020, 10:43am

I went down the rabbit hole tonight, it led me to this.

Their channel has a bunch of thought provoking future ideas. Easy to get lost for a while.

Apologies for the Pointless Bump
But just stumbled on this, and it sounded too “good” to not share this 1990 beauty

“The head of a cyborg reactivates, rebuilds itself, and goes on a violent rampage in a space marines girlfriends apartment.”

It sounds amazing

wendysighs · November 28, 2020, 12:54am

some unusual stuff that might be readily available on youtube or vimeo (hint hint):

the documentary ‘cyberpunk’ by marianne trench
gibson’s ‘no maps for these territories’
the films of sabrina ratté

and this has nothing to do with anything but ‘an evening with tim heidecker’ is AMAZING.

Mariarangok · November 28, 2020, 10:22am

Neon Genesis Evangelion if you’re in an anime/depressive mood.
