Stories about Organic Weaponry and 90s Videogames
I just watched the sci-fi/shitshow film eXistenZ (thanks for the capitalizations, Cronenberg) and can safely say it is stranger than most plots I could ever come up with.
Essentially, assassins hunt down the wunderkind creator of an organic video game system (eXistenZ), as well as the marketing intern who gets saddled with protecting her. Sound normal? Sure. Also, the video game system "ports" into a hole drilled into your lower back, and you never know what type of game you're playing until you're in the system.
This is all fine, except someone has corrupted the game, so the creator and her reluctant bodyguard become embroiled in a fictional web of corporate subterfuge and mutated frog carcasses. Yep.
The story spins into one of those "what is reality" loops that makes you feel nauseous and boxed-wine sleepy. It's essentially a 90s-era Inception with guns that shoot human teeth. Did I forget that part? There are guns that shoot human teeth.
Also, Willem Dafoe makes an appearance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdU-6...
