STRANGE DAYS (1995) KALIFORNIA (1993) *JULIETTE LEWIS

These two double feature films I am presenting today owes it to Juliette Lewis images on my reblog random rampage selection by a Tumblr blogger actress-playground who has been posthumously deleted.

Strange Days is a 1995 American science fiction thriller film directed by Kathryn Bigelow, from a screenplay by James Cameron and Jay Cocks, and based on a story by Cameron.

The movie blends science fiction with film noir conventions, Strange Days explores themes such as racism, abuse of power, rape and voyeurism. Although the story was conceived by Cameron around 1986, Bigelow found inspiration from high profile incidents such as the Lorena Bobbitt incident and the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

The film was a major commercial failure, Strange Days nearly derailed Bigelow's career. The film polarized critics upon release, while some praised the cinematography, visual style, and performances of the cast, others criticized its portrayal of rape and violence. Its critical standing has improved over the years, gaining a cult following. At the 22nd Saturn Awards, where the film received five nominations, Bassett won Best Actress and Bigelow became the first woman to win Best Director.

Upon release, Strange Days polarized film critics. Roger Ebert, who gave the film four out of four stars, described it as "a technical tour de force" and highlighted the film's astute use of SQUID technology, stating that "Bigelow is able to exploit the idea of what is happening; she forces her audience to deal with the screen reality, instead of allowing us to process it as routine 'action.'"

Set in Los Angeles on the last two days of 1999, the film follows Lenny Nero (Fiennes), a black marketeer of an electronic device that allows a user to experience the recorded memories and physical sensations of other people, and Lornette "Mace" Mason (Bassett), a bodyguard and limousine driver, as they are drawn into a criminal conspiracy involving Nero's ex-girlfriend Faith Justin (Lewis) and the murder of a prostitute.

Kalifornia is a 1993 American road thriller film directed by Dominic Sena, in his feature film directorial debut.

The movie was filmed in Georgia and rural inland California.in the spring of 1992. The movies was a box office bomb. The film received mixed reviews from critics with some praising its art house sensibility, while others dismissed it as a violent exploitation film. Despite this, the film's acting was largely praised, and critic Roger Ebert heralded the performances of Pitt and Lewis among the best he had ever seen. The film was nominated for three Saturn Awards in 1994, including for Best Horror Film.

The film tells the story of a journalist (Duchovny) and his photographer girlfriend (Forbes) traveling cross-country to research serial killings, who unwittingly carpool with a psychopath (Pitt) and his childlike girlfriend (Lewis).

Soulsborne co-op is such a weirdly melancholic experience sometimes

Like, sometimes you find some rando you just vibe with, or who's rocking a build that compliments yours, is fun and goofy, maybe their character's got a Character Creator Abomination face that makes you laugh, or is just really fun to play with, but like, the second they die or you accidentally jostle your ethernet cable and DC, you just never know if you'll see them again

Like, sometimes hope's restored after they die and they summon you again and then it's like "Holy shit! They liked me enough to summon me twice!" and that's even better! You found the Cool Guy and they liked you and still wanna keep playing the game with you! And you're a socially maladjusted pack animal so that floods your brain with serotonin and that's rad! The two of you struggle, fight, overcome, and eventually build up to a climactic victory fighting the boss of the area, and that's so much fun! Like a little self-contained adventure story, just the two of you

But then after that you just like

You realize you may actually literally never see this person again, this person who's been your companion on this mini-adventure, who's had your back, who you've laughed with and fought beside. Brief as they were, they were good times had between the two of you, and you have to take a second to realize that may have been the only time the two of you will ever meet, like ships passing in the night

wherever you are, random guy who summoned me at every bonfire and for every bossfight in the Ringed City like three years ago, I still think of you sometimes. I hope you're doing well

i'd love to watch a show inside a dominion prisoner camps like the one julian bashir was in DS9. it would a sci-fi version of prison break with romulan, klingons, cardassian, human.. but it would be even more funny if there was only one civilian human, who got a first space trip and bad luck but end up in a dominion prison and know nothing about alien. someone living in deep countryside of earth. This poor person would be surrounded by enemy of the federation, romulan, cardassian, klingon but would manage an escape and become part of the plan.
