Xenodu.

A Fantasy, A Musical, A Place Where Dreams Come True.

Aqueous transmission is still a song that never fails to get a “Okay, what song is this?” whenever I play it for someone.

My favourite incubus album without a doubt.

My first Zappa album, and Peaches En Regalia was my first Zappa track. Still love it to this day.

"A day may come when the courage of men fails when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day.” An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down. But it is not this day. This day we fight"

Martin Luther King Jr.

''You know what i learned today? I'm not like you."

You can have an Ethan Hawke catharsis marathon.

Training Day, a movie about a rookie cop who gets paired with a corrupt senior on his first day who manipulates him from the beginning. ''I should have been a fireman"

Gattaca. I am not sure if you can call it an absolute ringer, but it does feel all the hard work pays off in the end.

Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.

A game like Hunt Showdown, an extraction based game set in 1895 Louisiana, fighting other hunters on the same map to get to the bounty (a boss that everyone goes after) and extract.

Imagine that game, but set in something like in the Star Wars world, With lightsabers and blasters in dagobah or tattoine, going after a boss like Darth Maul or Yoda, while every other bounty hunter is going for the same target.

Alot of the serious things that people here already mentioned, unable to see a bright future for humanity. Cant afford a house of your own, etc.

But another thing that affects me day to day is Seeing stray cats and dogs on the side of the road. They just make me sad and then i have the urge to help them. And then realizing that i cannot help them all.

Kevin Spacey. We all thought he was a great actor playing all those psychopaths, but turns out he was just playing himself.

People who litter. Throw their rubbish out the window of the car. Or who throw rubbish in public, like into drains or sidewalks.

It’s in the mentality, and I say the lack of education is the reason for it.

It’s sad to see the people of my country do this, and to see it with your own eyes.

Love the list that you have compiled. Will check out a few of those which i have not yet read. Thank you..

As you mentioned Ghost in the Shell, i will cheat as well and include Akira. I think everyone will be more familiar with the 1988 anime adaptation, but the manga is the source material which tells a more complex story compared to the condensed two hour anime. Both the anime and manga are made by the same person, Katsuhiro Otomo.

I think both the anime / manga got a lot of things eerily right about the future, with all the political unrest and even predicted the Tokyo Olympics.
