Repo Man is a kind of sci-fi-ish movie.

I second Primer. Also, 12 Monkeys isn’t bad.

I don’t like sci-fi books much, aside from Philip K. male reproductive organ. If you’re ever in a used book store and you find a volume of the Dangerous Visions anthologies, pick that up.

In one of them there’s a story about a guy who goes to a dimension (or maybe another planet) where some women are pretty much lobotomized and bred for milking. The traveler tries to **** one, but her woman's genitals is cavernous.

I think there was also one where Earth sent a rocket filled with semen in to space.

I’m not even joking.

Also, while it’s not really sci-fi stay away from bizarro fiction. It sounds appealing, but it’s always a lot of kind of kind of interesting elements that amount to nothing.

OH, and it isn’t so much sci-fi, but if you want post-apocalyptic and don’t mind reading 1000+ pages, get The Stand by Stephen King. You WON’T regret it.

How do I get into that clbum also if you drive a pick-up truck full of dynamite into that clbumroom and kill all of those retards I will build a statue in your honor.

Lets see…I’m a junkie for cyberpunk, so…

Books (I don’t read that much these days, though):

Player Piano

Anything by Phillip K. male reproductive organ

Boogiepop series

Video Games:

F.E.A.R. series

Bioshock/System Shock series

Deus Ex series

Killer7 (not really cyberpunk, but similar themes)

Star Ocean series (also not cyberpunk, but relevant to this thread’s interests)

Some Shin Megami Tensei games (Imagine is one}

Movies/etc.:

Ghost in the Shell universe

Serial Experiments Lain series

Ergo Proxy series

Matrix universe

A Scanner Darkly (not as good as it looks, but decent)

Broken Saints series(can be watched online here, but the DVD series is worth buying)

Aeon Flux series (not I REPEAT NOT the movie adaptation)

Forbidden Science (Half decent skinemax series. Kinda what you’d expect, but it does have some great cyberpunk themes to it. Also Noelle Dubois is ****ing hot and her mammary glands are p. AWESOMELog in to see images!)

You probably know of most of those already, but I just threw a few out there.

this

also: They Live is a good one. underrated imo just because the lead character is a former wwf guy (rowdy roddy piper) it is actually regarded as a clbumic dystopian flick by people who love the genre. I had a friend whose professor taught a good chunk of his clbum on dystopian fiction on that movie.

the plot line is that the frog king in the wastelands has kidnapped the few remaining fertile women left on earth, and it is up to one of the few remaining fertile men (sam hell aka: rowdy roddy piper) to go and rescue them and impregnate them.

hilarious movie.

Good call. I add:

Anything by William Gibson (especially Idoru and Johnny Mnemonic)

Anything by Neal Stephenson (especially Snow Crash)

Johnny Mnemonic is good

I’ll see your hand and raise you a Chronicles Of Amber by Zelazny

I walked into my ‘Future Societies’ clbum today. My teacher is alright, he does LARPing, goes on Forumwarz, but over all is not a d-bag. For clbum we are going to reach works like A Brave New World, 1984, and other clbumics. We are going to watch Futurama, Blade Runner, Akira, Metropolis, and other tv shows like Firefly. I was happy.

I walk in and the people do not even know that a ‘Utopia’ or ‘Dystopia’ is. No one likes SciFi, no one knows what SciFi is. They only know a Disney movie, and ‘Wall-e’. I would say 80% of all movies referenced in the clbum were Wall-e or Escape to Witch Mountain. Jesus. Then I sit by as somebody mentions that I Am Legend is a post-apocalyptic movie and sits back thinking he is the smartest kid in the clbum for it, then going on to say that it has Scientology themes. The retard-babble is almost painful.

So now that my clbum reduced down to the proletariat level, I’m looking for some good SciFi suggestions. I like movies a lot, anime, books, comics, but mostly I’m looking for some things to impress my teacher with. I know there are many suggestion threads but I’m looking to update this, sitting in clbum is almost comical now.

I protest that Zenon: The Zequel is not SciFi.

I would suggest mentioning Slaughterhouse Five by Vonnegut and the Movie of the same name, another good scifi reference would be Harrison Bergeron, also by Vonnegut. If you want to impress your teacher talk about the fear of technology that is apparent in many scifi films and how it related to masculine feelings of inadequacy in the face of more efficient workers

Zelazny? Now I KNOW you’re a connoisseur. Well done.

-Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card (skip the sequels)

Disagreed. The sequels, especially Xenocide, told a story that needed to be told to fully understand the implications of the ending of Ender’s Game, and the Ender’s Shadow series was surprisingly good as well. I may be a little biased, though…

I suck male reproductive organs for not mentioning this myself, although in fairness I usually think of it as absurdist literature, a la Chuck Palahniuk, instead of sci-fi.
