A more sinister example was Repo Men. In that movie, the tech still worked, but people were no longer able to keep up with the extortionate payments that came with the implant.

I always bring up that movie and "Otherlife" when I rant about the importance of open source.

Wait is that a different movie than repo: the genetic opera?

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

It's gotta be one of these two.

I'm sure of it. ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

I mean it's the same plot as repo: the genetic opera, genetic opera is just set to music. They grow artificial organs, sell em, and If you can't afford to pay, they repo them. Paris Hilton gets her face ripped off. It's great.

Zydrate comes in a little glass vial

๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not sure if that's enough to make me want to see it, but it's a big selling point!

It's a wild ride for sure

I love how this was somehow both the next line of the song AND snarkily correcting their spelling.

[-] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lmao to be fair it was mostly to continue the song, but I did notice that XD
