For usa, probably more like mix of Escape from NY, blade runner, 5th element multipass, and the movie that had a guy called Spider played by henry rollins. But Im just after having a pointless march at me local capital and 4 pints deep sending it wondering what's the point and dont really know shit.

Wait, a sci fi with Henry Rollins playing a guy named Spider?

Yes, at the time yesterday my brain was having a bit of a nice soak and I couldn't remember where I saw the scene. The movie is Johnny Mnemonic. I think I was going for any dystopian stories involving megacorps (which btw makes your list every bit as relevant as what I came up with).

I'll need to check that movie out. Was it worth watching? I guess I can consult the reader reviews at IMDB. It's definitely "my generation" but I must have missed it.

No problem! I could use a good "soak" myself. Just have to find a nice pub. You know what they say about needing a "third place" to be a happy human. And mine ain't church!

"Was it worth watching?"

The movie is kind of mainstream silly compared to the brain-burned schizophrenia of Philip K. Dick.

Couldn't speak to its worthiness, I have to watch it again myself.

Yeah, when we get industrial-invertebrate hybrids.
