what does a ps5 cost in in time money?
>>
>>220796531
Nothing.
Everything.
>>
>>220796531
a year and a half ish
>>
>>220796531
I don't think people had time to play vidya
>>
>>220796531
This was a good movie
>>
>>220796531
Directors who make this kind of sci actionb slop should be burned alive
>>
>>220796588
It's a very mid movie that's surprisingly memorable (for me at least).
>>
>>220796619
a mid quality '00s movie is easily on par with a good 2020's movie

Only the finest abortion.

If you only get a year when you turn 25 and then die if you can’t get more time wouldn’t the actual average age be pretty apocalypticly young? and birth rates apocalypticly high because they don’t know if any of their kids will make it. Like average age of 15 or so and 8 kids average per woman
>>
>>220796531
The 10ish minutes where they're in a casino was pretty cool.
>>
I like the premise and the art direction but the forced drama was just icky. like why would they confisticate all his time straight up like that.
>>
>>220796588
It was good until it became a shitty heist movie. And can never forget the best car crash ever filmed.
>>
>>220796588
It was but then one of you fuckers asked why there was no pin code on their time bank account and whole movie felt fucking stupid after that. Like you could literally just suck someones time money while they were sleeping.
>>
>>220797511
That’s pretty much the gist, had a pretty good world building before it turned into a Bonny and Clyde movie
>>
>>220796758
It just means most people would be living paycheck to paycheck (literally) and there wouldn't be any homeless tramps around
>>
>>220796531
I watch for she

>>220796758
Well having more kids would mean more mouths to feed and they only pay with time

It's a great concept and well done for the most part. I was pleasantly surprised at how good Justin Timberlake actually was, but the story falls apart at the end with the 'rob from the rich' commie crap. I find it almost impossible to believe that was the original ending and not a hasty rewrite or reshoot from some literal faggot, the way it feels so tacked-on, rushed, and non sequitur.

I was keen to see this film when I first heard about it because I'd seen its kino-as-fuck predecessor as a kid and it likewise always stuck with me:

Low budget and a short film, (worth 40 minutes of your life - no pun intended). It has that same stark 'GATTACA' feel that I find so comfy. They both have it and I love it. This one has a superior pro-capitalist ending. Have fun taking note of the arguably legally actionable similarities.

I also love how you get an audio warning and countdown when you're about to time out. Pretty cool for the old faggot obsessing over his remaining time, etc. Works better for the drama I think, because other people in earshot know precisely how fucked you are.

It's implied that death has been cured and the time=money and dying when you hit zero system was instituted to limit the population.

>>220800576
The thing with everyone looking 25 forever was brilliant, even if just as an excuse to have young-looking attractive people in your film no matter their age in the story. Same reason I think 'Surrogates' is cool and most people have an robot that's an idealised version of themselves.

Opposite effect to the eye-assaulting forced ugliness and fat fuck shit we're getting from Wokefags in Hollywood these days.

Amanda Seyfried was so fucking hot in this good God

Kind of a silly short film. I was fully expecting the chick to betray him at the end.

Why didn't they just have them careen off the road and hit a pillar or something?

It was so bad they couldnt NOT include it

>not titled Just in Time starring Justin Timberlake

>>220801205
>Before the studio ultimately settled on In Time, the project went by two main working titles:

>I'm.mortal – This was the film's original working title when director Andrew Niccol was shopping the script and when Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried were first cast in mid-2010. It was a stylized play on the words "I'm mortal" and "immortal," reflecting the movie's premise where people stop aging at 25 and can technically live forever if they have enough time on their clocks.

>Now – As production progressed, the title was changed from I'm.mortal to the much simpler Now.

>Eventually, 20th Century Fox decided to change it one last time to In Time right before launching the film's marketing campaign and releasing it in theaters.

Why would she? Cougar bitch isn't in a rush to do anything and just wants her toy-boy or whatever.
>Roy Brocksmith has probably been driving around trying to pick up ten year old girls for centuries.

I think his sister dying is dramatically better than Timberlake's Mom. The way he double-takes when he hears she only has fifteen seconds left is fucking brutal. And the best part is, she gets what she FUCKING DESERVES!!

You can see how the Timberlake version is a kinda morally mangled version of that in a lot of ways.

>>220796531
Assuming a day is worth $50, 10 days.
1 min ~= $0.05
1 hr ~= $2
1 year ~= $20k
10 years ~= $200k
Etc.
Phillip Weiss had 1M years so ~= $20B
In New Greenwich everything is more expensive, Justin Timberlake blew the equivalent of $5k for his stay at the upscale hotel.

>hey kid what do they call ya?
>JustIN TIMEberlake
I walked out of the theater
>>
>>220796588
no it wasn't what the fuck is wrong with you?
the whole movie is based on a pun, "what if time is mone but for real lol", and half of the dialogue is just time puns
even ignoring how fucking flawed and retarded the whole concept is, the movie itself isn't even good
>>
>>220796588
I like it despite its flaws for the core concept and some of the worldbuilding around it, the aesthetics like the clean 60s style electric cars and Amanda Seyfried.

>>220801311
She's giving him 2.7k years for free, which seems absurd in such a world.

Ultimately I feel like the system would be easily gamed, what's stopping you from giving a guy 50 years so he'll give 40 to your mom? I don't know, I guess it's only a short film but I was hoping for more of a punchline than "lol its their own fault", which is silly when his sister had blown 960 years by the time she was a teen, and the protagonist had blown 700 years and was considered a boy genius making lots of favorable trades.

I guess he's just a cheap manwhore, and it's nothing to her anyway obviously. People do that kind of shit IRL and with more money.

>Ultimately I feel like the system would be easily gamed, what's stopping you from giving a guy 50 years so he'll give 40 to your mom?
Try laundering money IRL and find out, remember to use your personal credit card. Also notice the other woman in the store didn't even like his Mom talking shit about the oldfags out loud.

>when his sister had blown 960 years by the time she was a teen
Well to be fair it was before OnlyFans and TikTok existed.

>and the protagonist had blown 700 years and was considered a boy genius making lots of favorable trades
Well there you have me. Maybe he invested in BitSecond and got rugged or it will take him longer to liquidate his investments because the internet only has 56k speeds back then or something.

Better question would be why the Boy Wonder didn't pull some shit where he gets to have his cake and eat it too? If you know you're going to get $3000 in a week, you have something to borrow against in the present. You could just use the paper, (shares or whatever), as collateral. They'd have some open market value based on their likelihood of paying off. It's how lotto winners and trust fund fags can wind up fucking themselves. Even if they can't go through official channels there's always some usurious Kike willing to take that kind of action, probably using your kneecaps as collateral.

You do realise that money is just a proxy for the very real underlying 'economic' reality of survival.

You could just as easily boil it down and measure it in calories. A cheetah on the African savannah has to invest energy to chase prey. If it makes a 'bad investment' and fails, it has expended precious calories in the process. Make too many bad investments and it doesn't have enough energy to even make an effective attempt again. Unless it lucks out and finds something weak or dead to eat, it's literally fucked, along with any offspring it's trying to support.

A cheetah can't really store anything beyond what's in its stomach and fat reserves, (and it can't be too fat and still catch prey). So for a cheetah - like most animals - life is day-to-day "hand to mouth" and the clock is always ticking down. Calories literally equals time and you could ultimately measure their remaining lifespan in days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

Unlike cheetah's humans have figured out ways to store not only calories, but value in many forms, using tools like money and trade, so we tend to notice only money, and don't similarly connect shit like calories in our body to our remaining lifespan, (because there are plenty more in the fridge and the local supermarket), but you could convert dollars to time if you wanted. The Time = Money fiction stories just tether them so there's no fluctuating exchange rate, and you can just measure directly in time.
ie. It's not just a 'pun' or unrelated to reality.

>>220802510
you must be feeling pretty smart for typing that wall of nonsensical crap.
first of all, you're mixing natural scarcity with artificial scarcity. the timer is artificial, externally controlled, and deliberately designed to drain.
secondly, calories can be: stored, produced, shared, converted into something else. time can't be stored beyond a fixed limit, cannot be produced by individuals, cannot be shared safely (any retard touching your wrist can drain you to death), cannot be converted into anything else. equating calories to money is as clever as equating the latter to oxygen.
also, time makes no sense as a currency with this implementation as it:
>constantly drains
>Can be stolen instantly
>is required to stay alive
>cannot be saved long‑term
>cannot be diversified
>cannot be inherited safely
all properties that actual money has
the best defence you can offer for this system is taking it as a dystopian allegory, but from a rational point of view it's poorly constructed and idiotic
you say "money is a proxy for survival", but in this movie it's a literal survival meter that would break society completely.
if you want to suspend your diesbelief just to enjoy a (mediocre) movie, fine, but don't pull shit you don't even understand out of your ass to justify it

yes, nice reply, go eat some calories out of a cheeta's dick if you think makes sense for you
