Bliss

We went into the movie Bliss pretty cold. The really quite terrible blurb said something about how maybe reality is a computer simulation, and that sounded close enough to our theme of alternate realities that we gave it a go. Like Colossal, its TV Guide entry poorly describes what is actually going on in the movie. The movie features cameos by Bill Nye the Science Guy and continental philosopher Slavoj Žižek, whose name I mangle several times. Yet again, we mention The City & The City, China Miéville’s novel about two cities which are superimposed over one another, but are barred from interacting physically with one another.
