The object didn't disappear, Bill... well, not exactly... you see, there
was just this little software glitch, and you weren't supposed to
even notice...
The most thought provoking movie of 1999, or any other year was "The
Thirteenth Floor," which when combined with plot elements from "Vanilla
Sky," the "Matrix" films, "Minority Report," "Dark City" and a
few others ("Tron" is not worth the mention, but "The Cube" is well as many
tales by Phillip K. Dick are)... are all extraordinary and
under-appreciated visions of our present state of "reality"
i.e. unreal/reality. Truth is said to be stranger than fiction, but perhaps
some fiction is more real than reality.
Yup, the "human predicament" is not human at all, nor even "real" as we
have been programmed to define that term.
We are all operating as avatars in someone's else's (Yup, you-know-who)
computer program. Which despite the "all-knowing" bit is well...
...let's just say that occasionally...but not too often, Thank
Coder, something goes awry at the fringes...and normally we are too
embarrassed to even mention it... normally, of course, we (excepting vortexians)
have to protect our phony-baloney jobs, don't you know...
