I did not realize that it's a Canadian film. The dudes who made Cube also made this excellent comedy that tackles equally philosophic/existential material, it's called 'Nothing'. I guess Canada makes some awesome movies sometimes.
Unrelated to Canada but I'm reminded of this dark British sci-fi anthology series called "Black Mirror" I found on Netflix last night, gets into some brainfucky stuff. They only have the season 2 Christmas special on Canadian Netflix though. At first I couldn't figure out why, but after torrenting the first season I get it now. The first episode is about someone kidnapping a member of the royal family and then demanding that the British PM fuck a pig on live TV. That particular episode didn't really have sci-fi elements, but most of the other ones do. A lot of it relates to the dark side of social media and related tech.

Black Mirror is great. All about tech gone wrong.

Yeah it really exposes the dark side of the way things are currently. Having a hard time finding the second season, I used to use kickass torrents but now there just seem to be a bunch of different mirror sites that won't let you get the torrents without registering. Also they seem to sketchily invent a fake result when they don't find anything.

ha I actually had to look up his acting because I never heard of him. He would've ruined the movie. He gets this goofy wild eyed look whenever he has to do action scenes, which would've totally destroyed the stoney zen master thing keanu had going on. I think you might be letting nostalgia influence you on this.

When I need to find stuff like that anymore, I just stream it from putlocker. I heard Kickass & Pirate Bay went down & are super shady now.

I don't really download torrents anymore...since I got an android box with kodi and exodus, I can stream pretty much anything I want to watch!

Kinda blew my mind, and I got to wondering if you guys mostly stick to Canadian movies or what. I mean, that makes sense. I do watch a lot more foreign films than many people I know, but I still might not know the most popular Canadian movie of the 1930s. But Hollywood is something of a global juggernaut, so I think American movies have a lot of visibility in every country.
I hope you were not reffering to me, because I have heard of as well as seen the movie many times in my life haha. I just diddnt clue in to the pun from Wizard of Nodz. I was pretty baked at the time haha.

I usually don't think of using streaming sites. It seems like actually downloading stuff is almost becoming old-fashioned.

Canada's image of snowy tundra, and retarded mild mannered pedophiles is kind of like an old and whithered catchers mitt that's been in an alleyway behind a dumpster too long and has feces contained therein.

you don't live cloistered enough with us by our great lakes, nor far enough up north into territories of sharp winds. you are not truly receiving the Canadian charm of surviving the winter...without that, you've got nothing. you can't be Canadian if you can't tell everyone how cold you can be and deal, or how you like trees and shit.
