for some reason, when I think "techno films" futuristic/SciFi films rarely pop into my head. does that make me an abomination?
I think of movies like Snatch, Kill Bill, Unbreakable, Seven, Fight Club, The Fifth Element (okay so one SciFi film maybe), Frailty, John Woo or Kirosawa (sp?) films, and of course the ultimate techno film: Trainspotting, and the original Twilight Zone TV series but rarely does techno = "the future" for me. maybe I dont exactly know what techno is. theres my problem! :^) to me techno is more of a mood than a concept. techno is like a texture or context. sean "I just dont *get* Star Wars at all" deason on 8/15/04 12:54 PM, Cyclone Wehner at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have been thinking about 'techno' films - ie films that the techno > community have adopted as part of their subculture - as lately I've been > catching up on DVDs when I am too tired to do anything else constructive. ;) > > I guess hip-hop types have Star Wars but techno people I find are into > Metropolis, Bladerunner and The Matrix - classic sci fi. > > Personally I didn't quite get into The Matrix.
