@cturnbow@paulcowdell@lunalein@bookstodon I loved Rufus Sewell in “Dark City,” a 1998 sci-fi thriller that “The Matrix” ripped off. “Matrix” had better visual FX, but a soul-numbing fixation on Gnostic philosophy that justified mass killings of innocents and that likely paved the way for QAnon to ignore objective reality and to push treason on Jan. 6, 2021. By contrast, Sewell’s “Dark City” is a cool yarn without boring speeches or deadly politics.
