  • Redline bangs in the club for sure

    Someone else mentioned Perfect Blue as an anime film that is very solid in the psychological category here.

    I also really like The Thing (1982) for a slight psychological thriller/horror pick

    Nausicaä is a gorgeous Studio Ghibli film with some post-apocalyptic sci-fi stylings

    Dredd is a very over-the-top dystopian sci-fi action film, gorgeous use of color at times, certainly not a very high brow pick, but I enjoy it a fair bit (CW: >!Imagined rape!<)

    SCUBA, LASER, JPEG, ROM, etc. all break the “pronounced as the nested word” argument.

    I’m down for people to pronounce it however they please (assuming it’s recognizable as gif), but the post-hoc rationalizations trying to prove their side as the one true pronunciation are silly. The only rationalization that makes any sense to me is the “creator pronounces it as jif”, but language doesn’t work that way so even that doesn’t matter as far as “one true pronunciation” goes.
