No.7558
Since the movie thread had been nuked before I even could go final with the chart, I decided to make another one.
Suggest any Cyberpunk film, anime, documentary or TV series that isn't on the chart yet.
With most major proto and actual Cyberpunk work added, I don't expect much except in the documentary part. If nothing pop ups before Sunday, I prune the unnecessary space and add some decoration and call it a finished product (for the time being).

No.7586
>>7558This seems pretty comprehensive to me and I like the broad approach you've taken.
But even with a broad defitionion of cyberpunk Prometheus and Interstellar seem a stretch to me me and I'd like to hear why
>>7580 thinks they're cyberpunk.
No.7590
>>7586Thank you. I was worried it would be too broad. I would've had more suggestions but it seems that you already have most of the usual suspects. I thought Sidonia No Kishi was cyberpunk related mostly because of the setting. Everyone is genetically modified to be as energy conservative as possible. The whole city ship is built upon the concept of self sufficiency but there are also background forces with suspicious agendas. Psycho Pass has more of a psychological approach on cyberpunk ideals. It's a world of total surveillance and an unusual way of dealing with crime. The series explores the effect of this system on the general public. For Prometheus, now that I think about it, it isn't much, unless you count the big bad Weylin Corporation and its actions. I can't think of much for Interstellar.
No.7593
>>7586Its pretty narrow in opposite to other cyberpunk sites who have threads about whether the Terminator is Cyberpunk or not.
Ain't it funny that people goatse their imagination into sprawl size to get their favorites in? Eventually I will cull some stuff. Prometheus and Psycho Pass are also already in.
Everyone, please do yourself a favor and read the chart before suggesting drek.
>>7590Prometheus seemed flimsy to begin with. Maybe it stays in because I am a lazy slot face. Sidonia n kishi sounds almost like it but could turn out to be a case like terminator, which is full of major cyberpunk influences in it but being in a different genre all along.
No.7594

No.7597
>>7593Terminator should be in. Even if it's 80s with space travel, it has the aesthetics qualities of cyberpunk and an AI wreaking havoc. I know there's a ton of shit where you might say "that's not cyberpunk", but does it really matter? Just the imagery is more cyberpunk than some things everyone agrees to be cyberpunk, and the film had it's part in shaping the genre.
Of course it's up to you what you do with your chart, but what you're saying sounds to be so against Terminator it makes me think you haver some personal beef with Schwarzernner or something.

There are good arguments why to consider it cyberpunk; Being responsible for Bubblegum Crisis' Voomers for example. There are better Arguments for considering it to be one of the best robot stories ever told.
No.7639
>>7597I would definitely include Terminator and Terminator II, we'd do ourselves a massive disservice if our main interest was policing what did and didn't perfectly fit our attempts to describe the genre, rather than allowing the definition of the genre to be fluid enough (when appropriate) to include really enjoyable artistic works that share a sense of place and identity with what we like. Even the name of the club in Terminator,
Tech Noir, seems like a decent enough synonym for what a lot us reckon cyberpunk is.
No.7640
TV definitely needs Almost Human. I'd like to suggest Lockout for movies.
No.7643
>>7639Fair enough. For me, it'd be an obvious inclusion, but I get where you're coming from and this not for me to decide so I won't even try to force anything on you.
…but then again,
>>7639 is thinking really alike to me and putting it into words better than I would have. Kudos to you man, and personally I'd have The Terminator in, even in a "related" category if nowhere else.
And for a less serious argument, can you look at this picture and say it's not cyberpunk (yeah, you can, but I wish you didn't)
No.7647
>>7639>>7643I was thinking about a honorary mention category since it has high enough influence to cause discussions on Cyberpunk boards about it. I can think of a few other works that would belong in such a category like Wargames.
As I said, the topic is very controversially discussed on other Cyberpunk boards.
Terminator is pretty tricky, no matter how fluid you keep the genre definition. It suffers from the same problems the first Shin Megami Tensei had. Instead of 20 minute into the future its goes 20 seconds into the future, goes apeshit with a totally different genre and assumes its ogre with a present day scenario. This makes it pretty tricky to put it into a box.
>>7640Both will be looked into. Seems like the ride never ends.
No.7652
>>7643I'm guessing the first
>>7639 was meant for
>>7600? But (as the anon you quoted) I'm with you completely.
>>7647For the same reason, I'd include Alien and Aliens, but I get that they're contentious.
Also, we haven't got Videodrome up there, which is a shame because it fits into regular cyberpunk a lot more than Tetsuo.
Alphaville should be included too because it's a great film even if it is far too early to deal with cyberpunk problems like networking, it is a good inclusion.
12 Monkeys too?
I really haven't seen enough animated stuff, I've never been big into anime in general, so I'm going to look into some of that now. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
No.7660
>>7647>As I said, the topic is very controversially discussed on other Cyberpunk boards. Yeah, what I don't want a board that keeps going back to whether some film is fits into some really subjective definition of cyberpunk or not.
I've not played any SMT, so I can't say anything about them, but to me the 80s + a gritty future is much more cyberpunk than some films that are already on the chart, and this is not to say they're not cyberpunk.
Or what'd I'd do if I met you: show the film and say: "You saw all that, man? You need to put this movie on the chart. Seriously."
>>7652Yeah, I fucked up with referring to the post I was going to, but no harm done as you managed to pick it up.
Also I'd include Videodrome, no matter what I just said. For me 12 Monkeys is a borderline case - if there was a "kind of" category, I'd put it there, but if I had to to choose include or not I'd say include.
Again, I can see why not, but to me this is about going for anything related instead of excluding anything we can. It's not a huge genre with tons of stuff, so I'd like to include films that are not strictly cyberpunk, but which the viewers would probably enjoy, even as a "not cyberpunk, but you'd probably like this" category
No.7691
>>7660It would be a good idea to segregate between "core" and secondary movies, for the users convinience.
No.7708
I understand why Wargames wouldn't make it to the list, since it doesn't really fit the overall atmosphere of the movies listed so far, but I feel the need to mention it anyway. I'm sure I'm not the only one who got into computers because of this movie, and further along, into the general cyberpunk culture. My 2cents.
No.7718
>>7708I think in consideration of stuff like that, and in consideration of
>>7691 we have to say that there are a lot of artistic creations which would definitely share those qualities we're here because we enjoy. We recognise that a lot of those qualities fall under the heading of
cyberpunk, but some of what we enjoy probably exists outside of what we'd regard as cyberpunk.
This is an issue that I think affects all attempts to compile a
canon, it's one that anyone who's read a lot will know affects English literature - there's a very boring and very persistent debate about what constitutes
The Western Canon:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_canonI think the best way to deal with it is by avoiding any attempt to make a rigorous list of what is and isn't cyberpunk, and just include loads of stuff. It's like the definition of hacker - the debate is not interesting and not what we're here for. That said, I'm not making these images. I don't mind too much about what OP includes or doesn't - either it'll be a good resource for finding new films and for directing newbies to and I'll use it, or it won't be and I won't. Which isn't a comment on OP, just on what these kind of things end up being.
No.7748
>>7718>>7660I know both Terminator and SMT. I think I include the first for its aesthetics and depiction of the then present day and inlfluence. By doing so we can keep autism (and this is what I found in pretty mild form in these threads I saw, although the users there didn't build a info chart, let alone a canon) at minimum by explaining that it is in for being proto stuff that came too late.
This is what I think happened: Terminator, during the writing based on a lot of proto stuff like Escape from LA and on Do Androids Dream of electric sheep in particular. Grittiness in design came from the general blues people felt from Reganomics, the late cold war and the looming economic heart attack.
Also 12 monkeys is clear(er) case of close but no cigar.

Hell most of it is already obscure as fuck by normal standards.
Now as for the Escape from series, it was one of the inspirations Gibson took when writing Neuromancer, here's a quote:
>intrigued by the exchange in one of the opening scenes where the Warden says to Snake 'You flew the Gulfire over Leningrad, didn't you?' [sic] It turns out to be just a throwaway line, but for a moment it worked like the best SF, where a casual reference can imply a lot.those kind of "action movies with a message" were a thing that i miss from nowadays cinema, most action flicks are very cynical and bland or take themselves way too seriously.
The Purge sequel was a throwback to that I guess… (not that it was very good but i liked it)

Underground is about hacks, and pirating. Pirating telephone centrals and Military Net. In a far better way than : "hackers, the movie" (sic). Hanging around in tech markets.
That's for "cyber", or "cypher".

New suggestion time! A friend linked me to this anime it's called Expelled From Paradise.
The plot is pretty bare bones, the characters are clichés and the character designs are so-so but the CGI is good and the fight scenes are TIGHT AS SHIT.
It's kinda like Elysium meets Wall-E, 98% of humanity digitised their minds and live blissful lives in a satellite orbiting a desertic and ruin covered Earth populated by scavengers. This cyber agent chick is sent to Earth in an artificial body to investigate the whereabouts of a hacker breaking into the satellite's system to broadcast messages.
The setting is very light for cyberpunk, there's hints of slightly darker stuff but nothing hardcore. It's entertaining for someone who doesn't mind really anime stuff. Also, lots of butt shots.

Would love to contribute to the list. My top cyberpunk movies:
1. Decoder - punk tries to stop corporation from using mind-controlling music on people. Features William S. Burroughs, by the way.
2. THX 1138 - post-apocaliptic movie set in underground cyber city. The rest is kind of spoiler.
3. Letters of the Dead man - soviet movie. Tells the story of an old scientist struggling to survive after nuclear war. Very sad and depressing atmosphere.
4. Engineering Red - russian movie. Brutal documentary cut-ups about USSRs attempts to create perfect soldier, various psychic phenomena, etc, combined with visual effects and narrative of a girl. Very graphic and NSFW. I'm a tough one, but my hands were shaking after that one. Be careful.

It was pretty fucking great.
Though you have to be in the mindset going in knowing that its low budget as all hell and made in 1990.
The characters don't act like real people and also the robot acts strange at times. Why not kill the chick right away? Why does he slink off for 10 minutes after each attack?
But again you can apply unstated logic like he needs to recharge or rebuild or whatever.

Added almost everything mentioned ITT after the last major version except films that definitely do fall out. I also removed some mistakes.
With every predecessor to Cyberpunk film imaginable, every major work, all Anime franchises and everything else well known added, there is not much more that could be added. So I think I add some decor and call it 'finished'.
Of course such projects will never be finished. There will be always someone who thinks that he has to make a cyberpunk flick because its fucking schway! In the worst case we could add almost every recent movie every year because we literally life in the cyberpunk future.
However, this doesn't mean the thread is over. Far from it. Let's share even more films, even the ones that are drek.
Next Chart I want to make is one collecting every Good film or Series that tells a Asimovian robot story (like 'Time of Eve'), because we are the major SciFi board here.

For live, I don't think I saw Algorithm; The Hacker Movie. Not well known, but pretty good actually. Original Judge Dredd should be on there too. Demolition Man also has plenty of /cyber/. Gleaming the Cube has skater vs. corps and a little hacking if I remember. District 13 movies are fairly cyberpunk, not much hacking, but it is an urban dystopia with parkour. District 9 too as long as aliens don't invalidate list membership. Does V for Vendetta Count?
Anime doesn't have Battle Programmer Shirase. Black Lagoon and Jormungand are cyberpunk from a PMC perspective. Outlaw Star is more space opera than cyber, but it is hard to say it isn't punk and Jim hacks stuff all the time.

My personal conclusion is that it has cyber elements yes, it is pretty gritty yes, and has transhumanist concepts, however the general concept of cyberpunk focus largely on the 'low life' concept. The 'mega corp' aspect does appear in the movie however the general 'low life, on the streets' feeling is lost within the main series of movies due to the characters not really being punks. Also not to mention the movie is high action and doesnt give a cyberpunk feeling.

Spoilers ahead:
As for the characters? Yeah they were cunts, but they grow on you if you aren't a cunt yourself.
Once you get over the cunt barrier and the characters show their humanity a bit? You'll actually start liking them.
I was bawlin' when Yolandi died, I was bawlin' a lot harder when chappie would sacrifice his own life to save Deon
It seems like you can't see past the movie's Zef culture and generally hate 'those shallow cunts' or whatever.

Very cheesy acting, can be quite random at times, has some nice computer graphics in it (although may be a bit outdated to some) and excellent trippy industrial music.

Movie Schedule
• Ebola Syndrome (1996, Subtitled)
• Outbreak (1995)
Intermission (30 minutes)
• The Andromeda Strain (2008)
This runs three hours, so is taking the place of two normal feature films. As stored here, it is in two episodes and will be handled as two 90 minute movies.
Official thread >>>/ebola/26419
Note: this event will probably continue in a less formal capacity after the initially scheduled movies. If I follow the form of the way I followed up /monster/ movie night, there will be two extra movies chosen during the screening of the prior movies. This week I hosted an "afterparty" to /monster/ movie night, showing the original "Total Recall" and "Little Shop of Horrors", both by crowd choice.

• The Toxic Avenger (1:22)
• Zardoz (1:46)
• Cannibal! The Musical (1:40)
with 15 minute breaks between all films.

Where:

When:
Saturday, 2015/07/25 at 2200 UTC (3 PM Pacific, 6 pm Eastern), though the stream will start an hour prior to this. All times below are Pacific (UTC -0700), and other than the start of the first film are approximate:
1400: Music and short films.
1500: Can Dialectics Break bricks?
1620: 15 minute break starts
1635: The Toxic Avenger
1755: 15 minute break starts
1810: Zardoz
1950: 15 minute break starts
2005: Cannibal! The Musical
2145: Possible 15 minute break
2200: Overtime movie, if any.
Why:
Because you have nothing better to do, and three of these are at least moderately funny while the other is bretty gud.
Notes: Can Dialectics Break Bricks? is thoroughly potato-looking, but it is better than anything you're going to find on TPB. At least this one is in color and has legible subtitles.

I am now planning a "dystopian future" movie night. Here's what I have in the voting list so far, but you guys seem like a good source of ideas on this one so I'm turning to you.
• A Clockwork Orange
• V For Vendetta
• 9
• Wall-E
• Logan's Run
• Looper
• The Road
• Brazil
• RoboCop (2014)
• Akira
• They Live
• Soylent Green
• Terminator (1984)
• Aeon Flux
• The Running Man
• Battle Royale
• Gattaca
• Metropolis (1927)
• The Omega Man (1971)
• Max Headroom (1975)
• Death Race 2000 (1975)
• Rollerball (1975)
• Mad Max (1979)
You may be asking "Why the new RoboCop instead of the original?" and the answer is "because I have it and haven't watched it yet".
No.29209
Also these were deliberately left off the list:
◦ Blade Runner (/monster/ ran it recently)
◦ Zardoz (I ran it recently)
◦ Pacific Rim (/monster/ ran it recently)
◦ Total Recall (1990) (I ran it recently)
◦ I Am Legend (I ran it recently)
◦ The Hunger Games (it's not as good as Battle Royale while pretty much ripping it off)
◦ District 9 (seems like an alternate present, not a future. Good movie though.)

This has now been made into a straw poll, with "Dredd" added to the list of candidates.

I started watching Metropolis to see the quality of the restoration done since the discovery of a mostly intact 16mm print of the film in Argentina. I dare say this may be the original cyberpunk movie, even though they didn't have a word for it back then. It looks like Fritz Lang still absolutely nailed it though.
It seems shocking that a German Jew could have such insight into the society of the future, but totally miss the trouble that was on his own doorstep. At least he got out alive.

that is a weird but awesome selection and it seems i can use livestreamer to watch this without flash so i might be in.
is there some tox, irc or retroshare channel or some other chat network to stay in contact while watching?
using the javascript webchat is for shazbots who don't understand security and privacy.

No.29896
>>29844
I don't see the privacy implications, at least not in comparison to IRC. You think IRC, transmitted in plaintext, hasn't been eavesdropped on for many years? That would be incredibly foolish. Torchat may or may not be compromised, but at least an argument can be made that it might still be private, or at least not worth the effort of cracking every chat going on.
Any streaming service is going to know the IP addresses of the packets it delivers. Whether you use the chat or not isn't going to affect this one bit.

>Any streaming service is going to know the IP addresses of the packets it delivers.
i could use tor
>IRC, transmitted in plaintext
the website is cleartext too you fucking idiot. at least in the case of IRC only the NSA listens to your chat and you could use tor to anonymize your identity which you can't on a javascript website.
>IRC, transmitted in plaintext
nice argument about privacy but you forgot about security.
i agree though that irc is not the best solution, i just mentioned it because literally everyone on this board has some sort of irc-supporting client installed.

All the end-to-end encryption in the world doesn't do a rat's ass of good if the server itself is tapped, and it's a pretty safe bet that any significantly large server is being monitored – primarily because nobody likes being subverted into a command and control channel for a botnet.

Important note:
Due to griping from a lot of corners about how I'm pushing legitimate traffic off the board, or being off-topic in general, or the fact that I'm not in this to annoy people – or to take personal abuse from assholes – I will no longer be sending invitations to any boards unless at least one film is directly relevant to that board.
This message is going to all the boards I have been notifying, and only some of them have had objections. Some of those objections were polite and well-reasoned. Some weren't. A quick search of the thread to which this is posted will reveal which category you likely fall into.
If you want to keep up on the movie nights that I run, you'll have to add >>>/nacht/ to your browsing list and check it once in a while. Weekly would be sufficient, most likely.

Here's a couple more for the chart for live action films:
Burst City (1982)
Death Powder (1986)
964 Pinocchio (1991)
Rubber's Lover (1996)
The Lawnmower Man 2: Jobe's War (1996)
Electric Dragon 80000V (2001)
cyberpunkzz (2016)
I highly recommend the Shozin Fukui movies if you in any way enjoyed the Tetsuo movies. He was actually Tsukamoto's assistant on set for Tetsuo and when you watch 964 Pinocchio or Rubber's Lover you might realize that the more cyberpunk aspects of Tsukamoto's movie were more aligned with Fukui's own interests.

IMO this list is too wide-reaching, and includes some real crap.
I'd add Black Magic M-66, and Exterminator City.
Not that Exterminator City isn't crap, which it is, but it is so bad it acquires a sort of patination of bad which accrues value, as opposed to genuinely worthless crap like A.P.E.X. or Prototype or Project Shadowchaser or most 90's VHS turds.
If this was my big list image, which it isn't, but given my druthers I'd remove about half of the wastes of bandwidth like Cyborg 2 and the straight-up dystopian films like THX1138, Gattica and Brave New World, and make room for categories for books, video games, music, and tabletop RPGs.
And Jackie Chan's The Protector? What the fuck. Did you include that as a sorbet, to clear the palate?
No.39650
I just watched Class of 1999 as recommended by the list. How is this cyberpunk? Because there are military robots? Thats pretty weak. Nobody even touches a computer or machine in the entire movie except a scientist in the background who checks the status of a robot.
