The Terminal Man will be released on Blu-ray on February 6 via Scream Factory. The 1974 sci-fi horror film will be celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Mike Hodges (Flash Gordon, Damien: Omen II) writes and directs, based on Michael Crichton's 1972 novel. George Segal, Joan Hackett, Richard A. Dysart, Jill Clayburgh, Donald Moffat, Matt Clark, and Michael C. Gwynne star.
No special features are included.
Computer scientist Harry Benson (George Segal) has experimental brain surgery to end his potentially dangerous seizures. Electrodes are attached with 40 terminals to his brain to counteract his violent impulses. But there's no escaping his own mind. The experiment backfires and the seizures return … with a terminal vengeance. Hooking into this visionary tale will unnerve you. But the truth behind its hallucinatory horrors will fascinate and stimulate you.
Pre-order The Terminal Man.

In a strange way this reminds me of a cray book I couldn't put down. It's a hilarious way of rewinding myself to the reactions I have to novels.
Wait, that would be microblogging I believe.
Now to find the book. It's a bestseller from the seventies I believe; it also had a film adaptation.
Like seeing how my mind's processing its search process to quickly retrieve the book out of my 10k+ library of 📚?
FOUND IT!
Michael Crichton is a master story teller and creator.
Hold up, I need to finish a nutritious snack and drink more 🌊. Go heatwave! At least I'm not far inland.

I'm reading the lord of the rings and I'm once again amazed at how... good most characters are. Like, they are genuinely good people. They are a bunch of kindhearted, gracious, caring people, coming together under adverse circumstances and trying to figure things out and find a solution and support each other through it all. Like Frodo and Sam meet Faramir and Faramir is a bit suspicious at first and kind of implies Frodo may be a spy, and then when he hears his story and he's like Frodo, I pressed you so hard at first. Forgive me! It was unwise in such an hour and place. And this blows.my.mind. He wasn't even particularly mean or threatening to him in the beginning, he's just such a kind, considerate man, recognizing the kindness and honesty of another man. And they're all like that. Even Gollum starts slowly changing (for a short while) when he encounters Frodo because that's the thing about kindness and humility and grace, they are contagious. They transform people, even a creature like Gollum cannot be immune to that. Like, you may consider all this simple and basic and I get it but, hear me out. It is quite rare to see that in modern media and it is also pretty difficult to pull off in a way that is not corny and simplistic. It is mind blowing that you actually don't have to present the entire palette of human cruelty and vice in order to tell a compelling story, contrary to popular belief. Lotr does the exact opposite, and it is just beautiful and it warms my heart. Especially taking into consideration tolkien's pretty grim growing-up experience, him being a double orphan without a home, raised between an orphanage and a priest and having no family apart from his brother and then the war and then he almost dies and then he's poor as hell and then a second war and it all makes sense somehow. He writes to his wife who is also an orphan two days before the marriage "the next few years will bring us joy and content and love and sweetness such as could not be if we hadn't first been two homeless children and had found one another after long waiting" and, yes, yes! The love and sweetness just radiate from his work, the entire lotr series is a little radiant bubble of hope and love and grace that he imagined in his head to deal with a dismal reality and then he just gave that to the world, and isn't that what imagination and art is all about after all?

nanorecensioni sci-fi: The terminal man 1974
Per gli anni '70 forse di attualità.
La visione della zucca meccanicista e di conseguenza della malattia e quindi la destigmatizazione della malattia mentale è un classico ma pure quella del controllo della macchina sull'uomo.
Peccato che per quanto il film sia effettivamente di sci-fi e che l'aspetto sci-fi sia portante nella struttura del film, la parte thriller è predominante.
Se uno fa i compiti e coglie 2 o 3 frasi un po' nascoste nel thriller è abbastanza suggestivo.
Guardabile ma non riguardabile.
