Existenz and Avalon(2001), My two favorite millennial badass gamer chick cyberpunk virtualware flicks. Probably watched them each a dozen times back in the day.
And I don’t even remember Willem Dafoe， looks like I got myself a good excuse to watch them again.
I mean I only need to watch this one for Willem Dafoe, but, while I’m at it, you know.
Avalon, ehhh. Thanks for the tip!
Guess I need to check out Avalon. Never even heard of it until now, but being mentioned in the same regard as Existenz is enough to get me interested :)
…avalon, like the live-action film by the director of ghost in the shell?..
…i remember passing it over the shelves of blockbuster for several years, but never watched it…
Boy do I have no idea, haha. I watched that before I even considered the film crew behind the movies.
