90-Minute Netflix DVD - Nirvana: Christopher Lambert versus The Antivax Mouse
It is looking like it will be a super weekend for NinetyForChill.com. Three of the next five blogs will be movie reviews and not just me refining my content for MainEventoftheDead.com. After dealing with people babying their adult children with overblown graduation celebrations in the lobby, I feel the class struggle expressed in 1990's cyberpunk films from America and Italy. The Franco-African party in the meeting room also fulfills that smaller world feel of these flicks as well.
We need to develop customer service apprenticeships or have all businesses that require its employers to be legal adults be operated under University banners. People like myself who enjoy and find that the field suits us well may be allowed to earn the same respect as anybody with a bachelors. Imagine how good we would be at the job if it was supervised by a college.At least that way, people will understand that the merit systems of reward programs do not place you in a position to demand hotel rooms a facility does not have. Especially when you know there is probably only one agent on site. This society is never going to get over bullying.
I could go into the customer service side of bullying, but judging that two rehashed entries this weekend are a bout depression, I will digress.
And, educational credit may not help the customer service field. If we mock youthful fast food employees, why would we not mock youthful clerks. It may just be a case of the haves versus the have nots, which is the root of all end of the millennium science fiction. Fortunately, we have not experienced the devastating economic falls that were prophesied, but the rise in diseases seems to be a poignant prediction.
Antivaxxers might just be the product of the rich's influence on those who envy them in the lower classes. If they do not give their kids a medicinally-insured childhood, and it seems to work, the idolization will leave the poor believing their kids will be fine. They just need to be reminded that Jenny McCarthy quit having kids and Alicia Silverstone can put her little ones in plastic bubbles.
Which movie studio has the antidotes? Sony and Paramount have not been making a lot of moves to increase their portfolios, so I think they would be the likely suspects. Paramount and Lionsgate make a lot of moves together (like refraining from joining Movies Anywhere) so they may be too dependent upon each other, but would Sony go and distribute a film like "Johnny Mnemonic" if they were hiding the MacGuffin.
Per chance it is the most obvious conglomerate, Disney. Fox was the UK distributor on "Mnemonic" and Miramax was under the Disney banner when they released the dub of the Christopher Lambert film that inspired this blog, "Nirvana". The mouse is hiding his evil intentions in plain sight.
Jimi has been consumed with depression. It has been one year since his beloved Lisa left him which is effecting his efforts to finish his latest virtual reality game, "Nirvana", and the release date is only three days away.
Solo can relate to the feelings of being melancholy and used. Every night, he awakens with vague memories of his past lives only to be drawn into Maria's quest to defeat Neo-Shanghai's criminals elements. It is the same every day until he hears Jimi giving him orders.
A virus has infected the games servers and Solo is now sentient. If living only to be killed repeatedly by noobs is his future, he would rather be deleted. Jimi is fed up with deadlines and the monotony of his life, so he can relate to the request. But how can he do it?
The only one he knows who might be able to pull this off is Joystick, the guy who was helping Lisa get settled into Marrakesh after she flew the coop. If he needs to acquire the assistance of the last lead to his broken heart, may as well see if he can make up with her before he destroys the corporation that is holding everyone down.
Oh how I wish I had some herbal assistance when I was watching "Nirvana." The story is buried within a lot of cool cyberpunk imagery and ideas, so the weed may have enhanced those and this film would have been a nice trip. Otherwise, the film is fun, but you are constantly calling BS on how it gets from point A to point B.
Christopher Lambert plays his archetype, and I cannot go wrong with this. As long as he gets a bit in the "John Wick" franchise at some point, the future looks bright. Every other character is too hip to emote, but they were written that way, so that is forgivable. The only flaw with that is that does not make them any different the sprites in the "Nirvana" video game. If you interpret this as Jimi and Solo's quest running parallel, that is not a downside, but definitely a stretch. The writing does not seem smart enough for that.
The journey in the film is suppose to start in a major city, but a cab will take you from the West (or Far East) to Morocco and a drive through snowy weather will land you in India. That is a stretch for me. And with the reasonably cool makeup and effects elements leaving you in a state of nearly forgetting the story, if these unique cities do not look any different, you could have just stayed in Newark like Keanu did in 1995.
Thank the gods for "Strange Days" finally getting this pre-HD cyberpunk world right. Still, with how ridiculous the film can get, you may as well enjoy it. If anything, "Nirvana" has finally inspired me to watch "Hackers."

It seems that I am now on a quest to find an intolerable 90's Internet movie. Do I skip this and work on trying to create a hybrid between "Nirvana" and "Mnemonic" instead? Let me know with and e-mail at russthebus07@gmail.com and feel free to request a treatment for my B-Movie, Pro-Wrestling Zomcom, "Main Event of the Dead" while you are at it.
