so okay people were asking about my headcanon shit
I have a pointless amount of headcanon about this movie. Not the least of which being the IT crowd shutting down everything as fast as they can in order to get the situation under control, followed by slowly picking the pieces back up and putting shit back together.
And when they're doing that they find out that Computer has been fucked up for a while. Like, seriously for a while, and that's why there are big sections of the city which are broken and so on.
@allanb@jonny It's very strongly implied. It's not quite stated outright, but the only thing it's missing is verifying that they have life crystals in their hands.
@jonny ooo, I like that. What attention I've given it has been mostly around making sure it works mechanically and about poor Computer actually figuring out "oh shit. It's me." and that being the emotional moment of whatever story this is I haven't written yet.
They are not stagnant, technologically. That NuYou surgery suite was a new model. The latest one.
They have maintenance staff in other ways too.
People in general have jobs.
This strongly implies to me that they have an IT class, which gets back to the initial structure: that they get to picking up the pieces, find what went wrong before, and fix it.
@jonny Well, that, and I don't think Computer cared much about it. I don't see it having a sexuality or anything of the sort. It'd be much more focused on the big picture.
"Hm, they like the sex. Is it affecting city systems. No. Well, that's fine, have fun with that."
"since it never actually selected people to reproduce by their fitness (as far as i noticed?"
There's a specific mention early on about Logan speculating about who his biological child's egg donor would be, not specifically in those words but in that meaning.
Computer was selecting, though along what axis we don't know.
I took some film classes in college, and this movie got brought up a lot, but I've never seen it. When I search for it on Kagi, it suggests this as a frequently asked question, so looks like we might be in for a good time
@trixter Pretty sure that's how I saw it and : a lot. They cut a lot. Also the gay man who smiles at Logan on the Circuit was a big surprise when I saw it uncut.
