No worries with your seizures though, right?

Vaccinated People: "You need to get muh vaccination shots that don't work because I got muh vaccination shots that don't work and I'm afraid of people that didn't get muh vaccination shots that don't work because muh vaccination shots that don't work don't work."
One of those things.
I don't seem to recall any problems but it has been a few months now since I saw the film.
Wow. We REALLY crossed our wires here. I feel that's probably mostly my mistake.
I saw Oblivion only like a month ago, so it wasn't me that recommended it before you watched it.
It looks like Oblivion was mentioned right here in this thread a LONG time before I saw it. You posted back in December of 2019 that you saw it and it didn't cause any problems for you.
The movie that I recommended yous see that you were going to check out was Virtuosity in the Garden thread.
Did you ever see that one?
Sorry... It's been ages since I've seen it so I can't say for sure if it's seizure-safe or not. It DID come out at a time where nobody was worried about that and a lot of the video games that came out had tons of screen flashes that they don't put in games anymore, so you should probably at least be on guard for it.

Okay, thought I went back up thread to see. I must have read wrong.
I do remember you recommending Virtuosity. I have to find it on YouTube as I don't think my library has a copy of it any more.
Like I said I know enough about my seizure disorder to know what to watch out for in certain movies.
I used to love video games and I know now if I get my hands on one I have to be very careful of how long I play them. Bought myself one at Christmas, a hand held version of something I used to play in high school. It's called "Galaga."
I don't play it much, it mostly sits on the kitchen table but once in a while in the evening before bed I will. Just for a few minutes.

Galaga. Cool. 
The intro song when you start her up is burned into my brain forever.
I had it for the Atari 7800 when I was a kid.

Got another Tom Cruise one here...
Have you seen Vanilla Sky, Brenda?
I'd only ever caught bits and pieces of it on cable back in the early 2000's, which is not the way to watch this movie.
I just saw it with my old man the other day and I thought it was great.
I told him that we've got to watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with Jim Carey and Kate Winslet next, because whoever made that movie was definitely a fan of Vanilla Sky.
(Wow. I just searched for both of them on the-numbers and I'm shocked at how little Eternal Sunshine made. They're both in the same bucket of VERY STRANGE movies that aren't for everyone, but it would appear that even back in 2004 Jim Carey was nowhere near the box office draw that Tom Cruise was for that movie to have only gotten $72 Million worldwide compared to Vanilla Sky's $202 Million.)

Never seen "Vanilla Sky" SIX. I will check my library and see if they have a copy of it.

Let me know what you think if you see it.
My old man has always been a huge Tom Cruise fan, and mix sci-fi with Cruise and it's just about the best thing in the world to him. After watching it with him last week I really can't believe that I had never gotten around to seeing it myself. I actually didn't even know it was considered science fiction. Maybe the name turned me off or something? I probably thought it was a romance movie.
As much as we liked it though, I don't want to pump it up TOO much for you. My tastes are surely a little stranger than the mainstream, with a love for David Lynch flicks and movies like Donnie Darko. I wouldn't classify this movie exactly in those styles however, because you will walk away from the movie knowing exactly what happened with a great payoff, unlike Lynch and Darko movies which you can watch 100 times and still not come any closer to the truth of what the movie was even about.
Me personally, I haven't decided if I like Vanilla Sky more or less because of that.
Oh... And Kurt Russel is in it too.

Yeah. I remember you did.
He's got the best line in the movie. I wonder if you'll agree when you see it.

I saw a sign at the local cinema, warning of a film causing seizures. I believe it was for Dune Part 2.

Thanks for the warning. I will be careful when I watch it when it comes out on DVD.
