Exterminator (not really)'s definitions
A maker of both awesome movies and horrible movies. While Alien, Gladiator, Blade Runner, and Prometheus were amazing, Exodus and Robin Hood and Legend were complete failures. Choose a Ridley Scott film wisely.

Get the Ridley Scott mug.An obscure Japanese sci-fi movie that gained a cult following. Directed by Masato Harada, it follows a group of scavengers in a cyberpunk future going to a remote island to steal valuable computer tech, only to discover the island is still being run by a genocidal supercomputer known as Kyron-5. The movie's title refers to a mecha that the heroes use to fight their way off the island.
The movie was a big project jointly produced by Toho, Nippon Sunrise, Kadokawa, Bandai, and Imagica. It remains one of the most ambitious live-action Japanese films to date, with a budget equivalent to $14.4 million. In addition to Japanese actors, a few roles were taken by American actors, such as Brenda Bakke, James "Brewster" Thompson, Randy Reyes, and Michael Yancy. The original Japanese version used both Japanese and English spoken dialogue, due in part to the international cast.
The movie's choppy editing and confusing plot almost completely derailed it despite its amazing special effects and production design. It bombed both domestically and internationally, and Masato Harada was so embarrassed that he instead credited the infamous Hollywood pseudonym "Alan Smithee" in international releases.
All in all, it is a flawed movie, but has several redeeming qualities that make it entertaining, and though it is a rare find on home video formats, I recommend trying it out if you have the means.

Brooklyn: We could sell it for more than the chips.
Bebe: Sell what?
Brooklyn: Gunhed.
Bebe: It's too heavy.
Barabbas: Gunhed parts get a good price, if it's still here.

Get the Find the albinauric woman mug.The kind of scream that only gigachads can give out, but rarely do due to the extreme circumstances required for it to happen. It is the manly scream to destroy ALL manly screams. The requirements for the scream to be provoked are:
-The one screaming must be a badass gigachad
-Having a gritty and tragic origin story as to how said gigachad became a gigachad
-Having the gigachad come to care deeply for a large group of people, but especially for a strong independent woman among them.
-The gigachad bearing witness to the leader of said group betraying everyone else in it to the point that everything and everyone the gigachad cared about is either killed, destroyed, or completely mentally broken.
-The gigachad, despite his truly badass abilities, being nonetheless helpless to save anyone he cared about.
The only known person to ever be recorded giving this scream is it's namesake, the main protagonist of Kentaro Miura's manga Berserk. Specifically, the recording is from the last moments of the 1997 anime adaptation of Berserk, where Guts screams in utter rage and horror.

Get the Guts scream mug.It is set in the future, but not far enough into it to accurately predict things. Either a very corrupt government or a very corrupt corporation is running the joint. Expect the protagonist to either be a cyborg, a hacker, or both. If said protagonist is male, they're probably a total jerk. If the protagonist is female, expect their only character trait to be "capable." Expect the protagonist to at some point have a graphic sex scene that you didn't ask for. Expect virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and drug addictions to be an important part of the plot. Sometimes, genetic experimentation or nanotechnology is also thrown in there for good measure. Expect philosophical questions to be asked a lot (especially ones regarding a character's "humanity"). There is no countryside here, just a shit ton of metallic skyscrapers lined with neon lights and advertisements. Even if it's not set in Asia, expect to see a LOT of East Asian cultural influence (particularly in the neon advertising and the way people dress). The crime rate here is usually high. The villains often take the role of a crime lord, a ruthless businessman, a killer robot/cyborg, a mysterious hacker, or a shady government agent. Body horror may or may not be present. The story is often very bleak in tone, but sometimes ends on a good note just to be different.

Get the Cyberpunk Fiction mug.From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.
