Johnny Mnemonic Gets A Different Story
As I am the novelist of six science fiction novels, I feel I can comment on this film and how it is confused. 'Johnny Mnemonic' is about a man who has given up his childhood memories in order to become a walking USB memory stick by storing sensitive information in his brain for travel. *SPOILER ALERT* At the end of the film, he gets his childhood memories back and they're so idealized that one has to wonder if they are real. Balloons? Grass? We haven't seen a blade of grass the entire film with the entire thing taking place in concrete jungles.

The Atrocity Exhibition
Cult Films and Midnight Movies "From High Art to Low Trash" Vol 1 By Tom Baker The Sex Kit. ‘In a sense,’ Dr Nathan explained to Koester, ‘one may regard this as a kit, which Talbert has devised, entitled “Karen Novotny” - it might even be feasible to market it commercially. It contains the following items: (1) Pad of pubic hair, (2) a latex face mask, (3) six detachable mouths, (4) a set of smiles, (5) a pair of breasts, left nipple marked by a small ulcer, (6) a set of non-chafe orifices, (7) photo cut-outs of a number of narrative situations - the girl doing this and that, (8) a list of dialogue samples, of inane chatter, (9) a set of noise levels, (10) descriptive techniques for a variety of sex acts, (11) a torn anal detrusor muscle, (12) a glossary of idioms and catch phrases, (13) an analysis of odour traces (from various vents), mostly purines, etc., (14) a chart of body temperatures (axillary, buccal, rectal), (15) slides of vaginal smears, chiefly Ortho-Gynol jelly, (16) a set of blood pressures, systolic 120, diastolic 70 rising to 200/150 at onset of orgasm . . . ’ Deferring to Koester, Dr Nathan put down the typescript. ‘There are one or two other bits and pieces, but together the inventory is an adequate picture of a woman, who could easily be reconstituted from it. In fact, such a list may well be more stimulating than the real thing. Now that sex is becoming more and more a conceptual act, an intellectualization divorced from affect and physiology alike, one has to bear in mind the positive merits of the sexual perversions. Talbert’s library of cheap photo-pornography is in fact a vital literature, a kindling of the few taste buds left in the jaded palates of our so-called sexuality.” ― J.G. Ballard, The Atrocity Exhibition

Alien
Watching Alien, the mega classic science fiction horror blockbuster from 1979 that spawned a slew of sequels and is probably one of the most watched films in history, is a grueling, terrifying, sometimes sickening experience. I compare it a little to being lost in the bowels of some fossilized insect, the doom proffered by the Alien "Mother" lurking around every dark, dripping, desiccated, or, alternately slime-corroded corridor. It is dark, white-knuckled terror at the end, reminiscent of Scott's later Blade Runner (1982) wherein Harrison Ford must contend with his own personal Alien Queen Mother--in the form of Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer).
