Hi there, hello!

[trickyLA]

Glad you had a nice time reminiscing then!

I definitely wouldn't say Coherence was a flawless movie, there were absolutely parts of it that left me wanting, but on the whole I do have fun theory or lore crafting about it. Just turning it and other movies like it around in my brain slowly tbh.

Foundation is one I was considering checking out as well, my only issue is that I don't personally have AppleTv+ and that's the only place to stream it I think?

As a sci-fi fan I'm always eager to bite into a new series and everything you've said about it has my interest, I'll have to figure something out~!

I'd love to hear your theory!

It looks like it's free with ads on the Roku channel. (Not sure if you can stream online or if it requires a Roku.)
If you can binge watch it a 7 day trial of Apple is available, but I'm sure it's online elsewhere.

Coherence movie seemed like it was a bad dream.

I'm hoping I'll be able to get to it soon, a family member of mine has an account but it's been a pain trying to get it to work on my devices.

I guess I have a lot of thoughts and theories, depending on how I decide to rewatch the film and what I'm focusing on! By the end of the film, I don't think any friend group managed to not swap out any of their members! That's sort of weird to think about right? Like one of your friends is your friend but Slightly Different. Uncanny Valley of Friendship, something like that.

It does! I think the whole vibe is meant to be surreal and toying with unreality like that haha.

I like to try to make sense of things & if things don't make sense then I am caught in a cycle of trying to clarify it in my mind so I tend to stay away from shows that are on the bizarre side or where the pieces don't come together in the end... so I tend to listen to other people's ideas of a show to see if it is something I want to invest my time into.

Oh, yes. Very INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS-ish.

There was a time period in the 70's and 80's where paranoia and uneasy themes were a mainstay of movies. I've read they were capitalizing on cold war sentiments of the time.

Oh, Lemon, I hate that. It's like some movies give you a jigsaw puzzle to do with missing pieces and pieces from some other puzzle. I have to think a few were due to either the filmmaker not knowing better, the production company ran into issues and had to ship the movie in that state, then the worse offenders are those who do it and they don't care (style over substance). Aghh...
