Why is virtual reality so unreal? Why are people escaping to online worlds which are never anything like the real world?
Virtual reality should be along the lines of real life, no? With its shares of disappointments, pitfalls, bad choices, all of the ramifications of those choices, etc.
I’m sure that “Ball & Chain” would sell – who wouldn’t want to experience in crisp HD the fun of sitting around in a loveless marriage watching reality tv.
But perhaps we’re actually already living our virtual reality when we sit on that couch and veg out.
Why are there never any trailers in movie trailers?
Scene opens, posters plastered against a metal wall… for a movie, perhaps. Some metal noises, maybe creaking brakes. Then some dust, then a little more.
Without pulling back, the camera starts sliding horizontally and more posters.. seemingly all about same movie.
Eventually, the camera slides off the back of the truck and you realized you just saw your first “movie trailer.” Scene closes.
Or how about a trailer broken down on a side street. Names are grafittied all over it and in the small window, there’s a television playing a clip from the movie.
