I saw this movie not long after it came out and didn't like it. In the days, months and years that followed I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was slow, drawn out and sometimes downright boring but even so I couldn't stop thinking about it. It captured the intense yet quiet fervor of celebrity worship and the seedy industries that emerge as a result.

Prophecy in disguise. But here I am especially intrigued by how technology, like the virus, cares only for its survival and its propagation. The metaphor packed in there is true and alive. We may not be as far Antiviral, but we are seeing technological evolution at human expense already. It evolves through dreamers; which is the best part. McLuhan says the chicken is the egg's way of making more eggs.

Well done.
