    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Woot! Looking forward to this. I loved the first one, for the story and for the strangeness of things in it. Remember the clamshell e-book reader? Need more of that tech in real life!

That weird e-reader thing is one of the small touches I love about it. Among other things, it really gives the movie this out-of-time feeling. Which I think adds to the uneasiness of it as a whole.

It really seemed weird the mix of technology that was in that movie didn't it?

Loved it. I think I read that they purposely did it to make it not able to place in any time period. No cell phones. Everyone looks vaguely 80s style. Lots of older cars. But then this weird future e-reader in a seashell? wtf.

Seriously. My fiance and I were boggled by that thing as well
