 It was not boring! Best movie evaa 
 two of the best lead actors and one of the best scripts of any movie of the 90s hands down 
 anyway, i like to point out that Boron is element 5 because of that movie, i'm sure you get it 
 It also played a small part in my rejection of fiat culture. When it came out (I was very young) people said it was a stupid movie, so I didn't watch it until years later. And when I did... I had to figure out why everyone was so stupid. Of course, it took a hundred more such instances to really learn the lesson.. 
 yeah...

it refers to so many prophecies and memes i can't even start to list them without spending an hour

Luc Besson is also a genius... have you seen his movie District 13? I think he did a heap of other ones, i still haven't watched Subway or whatever it was called... i probably should gather his movies because i know his stuff is good... I'm also a fan of other french directors, Juenet, the Delicatessen and City of Lost Children director and oh yes Amelie, and whoever it was that made Immortel: Ad Vitam

i'm sure there is many older, not-scifi french movies that are also awesome but those guys are all in my hot hits list 
 You've given me a lot to look up and watch...  
 well, i've been meaning to get around to seeing them myself... gonna watch them in chronological order, so, subway, leon, 5th element, district 13, lucy, valerian and the city of 1000 planets, anna, dogman

mostly just noting that down i'm pretty sure that's the correct order

just want to watch them with the progression in mind as well, as to how he refined his work 
 oh, i forgott the professional... hmmm need to get that one...

oh yes, it came out just the year before 5th element... hmm funny 
 oh, Leon: The Professional... shit i already got it cued 
 1000 planets... Reminds me of some Melchizedek stuff I listened to recently.  
 yeah, i did NOT know that besson did Lucy... now i have to watch it, also with mister smooth voice narrator guy
