Do I rate this based on the present (2023) or when I first saw this in 1994? I guess the latter, so it will be fair, an 8 out of 10. Many are raising and giving bad reviews about this show, but I think it is unfair. This was an early 1990s movie. Movies people are rating today will be just as a “bad” as they described 30 years from now.
That out of the way. It was nostalgic, re-watching this 29 years later. I was reminded of how people think of time travel back then, with not so much a worry about the grandfather paradox, and more about ripples in time.
We've come a long way, not just in movie making, storytelling, but also in how we perceive time and time travel. Yet, the ideas from the 20th Century is as valid today as it was before, only better and more mind-boggling.
If they reboot this, either as a new movie or a TV series, I wonder how it will be reinterpreted. Or maybe, one just have to watch the Korean TV sci-fi “Sisyphus: The Myth” to have a glimpse of what it can be. ^_~
@youronlyone@films@film@movies@movies I guess the complexity of human relationships will never change, which is why Shakespeare continues to resonate.
Lesson there for me: Build your plot on top of human-human relationships and conflict, not the other way round.
I think it's why #Kdrama is popular these days, they focus on human-human relationships in every story they create. Like, yes, Shakespeare. It isn't about immersion; it's about resonating with your audience.
This book definitely had me gripping its pages and wanting to know what was going to happen next. I love a good #mystery#thriller novel, and I also love the concept of #timetravel, so combining the two was perfect. Did I know this book would be about time travel initially? No. I wanted to read it because it's a mystery/thriller. But as soon as Jen woke up on Day Minus One, then Day Minus Two, I knew. At first, I was confused by the frequent time skips and didn't understand why they were so random, but after learning that they may be happening so that Jen can pay more attention to the details of her surroundings and interactions, it made more sense. Like, if you had a chance to go back and do things differently, would you do it?
Ok. You've just discovered a magical camcorder that can travel through space and time. It can record high quality sound and video for one hour. You can only use it three times.

While lost in the quicken, it may be a heavily accelerated or slowed (aging not necessarily) passing of time, but yet advancing to the future
Bookshops are awash with time-travel novels. Writer Nancy McCabe examines why there might be heightened interest in temporal displacement, parallel timelines and all that wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff, and suggests a few new reads. Got a favorite time-travel book? Comment below!
Finished watching “Bodies” on Netflix. Liked it. Lots there for those who enjoy #scifi#timeTravel#philosophy#vinyl#shellac and character driven thrillers. Some depth on the topic of free will. Recommended.
