      The book is better IMO (other than no Portman :-) and one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever read. Highly recommended.

        Did you read all three books? Got real WTF in book 2 and 3.

          Yes, I read them all the same week (bad weather kept me inside). Yesterday I read the Silo Stories (3?) in his Machine Learning anthology. I liked the first book and the short stories the best.

      My favourite film analysis of this is by Dan Olson of Folding Ideas: https://youtu.be/URo66iLNEZw

      It’s a great breakdown and also criticises those “ending explained” videos as well.

    Primer. I needed to re-watch it at least 3 times to even begin understanding WTF was happening. Even the wiki sites that try to explain it are incomprehensible at first.

      That’s one that really only makes sense after watching it multiple times. The excerpts from the book(?) tell you the “what” and “why” of the events of the movie. Okay, they tell you enough that it makes some sense…

        I’m pretty sure only the director’s cut has the excerpts from the book. It still takes at least two watches and some pausing.

    Rubber. I went in knowing it was a WTF film, but had NO idea how far out it was. It made Sharknado make sense by comparison.

      It was also an excellent movie! That tire really made me feel for it even without any facial expressions or dialog.

      I though about that the first time I saw Requiem for a Dream, and then suddenly thought to myself. It’s not actually mindblowing. It’s just a formulaic, cookie cutter story of a bunch of people doing drugs, I kind of think it’s really overrated from a critical standpoint now. But I did get an initial shock.

    Almost every episode of Raised By Wolves, especially the second season when things got REAL bonkers. Man, I miss that show.
