positive · AI labelView post →Does she even understand how important the 2002 film Equilibrium is? Does she know Taye Diggs was in it?
neutral · AI labelView post →*remembers seeing the movie 300 as an 8th grader but confuses it with that movie Equilibrium* The feminine “intellectual” Athenians never understood the true historical power of gunkata
neutral · AI labelView post →John Lennon: Paul, George, you ever see this movie, it’s called Equilibrium Paul: at the cinema? John: yeah, that’s right. There’s this bloke in it that does this eastern art to avoid bullets Ringo: ere it’s called Gunkata All Beatles simultaneously: eh yeah gunkata yeah sure mate
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember being a teenager and watching that shitty movie Equilibrium where everyone is medicated to make them stop feeling emotions, but at that point I was so completely dissociated due to puberty I was like how the fuck is that any different
negative · AI labelView post →Haha remember that movie Equilibrium. Anyway
neutral · AI labelView post →We spend a lot of time talking about how great the Christian Bale film Equilibrium is and that movie isn’t even good
negative · AI labelView post →I’d yell at them about how important 2002 science fiction film Equilibrium is
neutral · AI labelView post →Do you remember that movie Equilibrium?
neutral · AI labelView post →Equilibrium is a quite funny movie even outside of Gunkata because it’s a society where everyone is trained to snitch on and outsmart each other constantly, whilst they all think they’re the only one doing it.
positive · AI labelView post →David Cronenberg has announced his final film will be a direct to DVD sequel to 2002's "Equilibrium" starring Milla Jovovich and Michael Rooker. Paul W.S. Anderson Executive Produces.
neutral · AI labelView post →I abandoned Amazon, Spotify and YouTube and blew my cash on physical media; 20p got me 2002 gun-fu movie Equilibrium, which turns out to be a most enjoyable watch. Christian Bale, Sean Bean and Emily Watson star in a better Matrix film than the Matrix sequels. 3/5 film-authority.com/2026/02/18/e...
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm a big fan of the cult classic action flick Equilibrium. My vtuber is a secret agent, so I'd always envisioned she would be skilled at gun kata like in the film. Does anyone know any artists who're good at drawing guns and gunplay who I can look up?
positive · AI labelView post →Me, watching Equilibrium in 2002: ‘Cool action film. Interesting premise, but the analogy is very heavy-handed. The fascists’ hate for creativity is too simplistic and two-dimensional.’ Me watching it in 2026, in a world being force-fed genAI: ‘Wow, they really nailed the art-hating fascists.’
positive · AI labelView post →Today I was reminded that Equilibrium (2002) was a pretty good movie www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7J3...
positive · AI labelView post →Equilibrium is a great movie and I don't care what anyone says.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Equilibrium for the first time last night, and I can totally see where drone kink got some of its inspiration from! #movie #drone #dronification #shiny
positive · AI labelView post →The optimal balance in a movie of early 2000s Russell Crowe, Don Johnson, and the star of The Big Lebowski is called the Nash-Bridges Equilibrium.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today Ian chose another Christian Bale movie for us to watch: Equilibrium. This was my first time seeing it. It's written by the same guy who wrote The Beekeeper, and honestly, it is SO BOLD to just not improve your writing at all over 22 years.
negative · AI labelView post →Every dystopian sci-fi movie from the 80s, 90s, and early 00s warned us about this trajectory. "Equilibrium", "V for Vendetta", "Idiocracy", "etc. Trump campaigned on eliminating "the enemy from within". No one gets to say "We didn't see this coming."
neutral · AI labelView post →Equilibrium is set in a dystopia as envisaged by a 12 year old who skimmed the wikipedia of Fahrenheit 451, but directed by someone who thinks this is Very Serious and Very Poignant, undercutting any potential humor beyond, of course, laughing at the movie for sucking shit
negative · AI labelView post →You mean the EXCELLENT and FUN movie Equilibrium where hot dudes karate dance at each other with handguns?
positive · AI labelView post →a smarter movie could do so much with the fact that the evil dudes in Equilibrium are absolutely feeling emotions all the time and totally get away with it, but unfortunately, it's fucking stupid

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm thinking again about how Grinda and I were watching Hellboy 2, Equilibrium, Ultraviolet, and so on and then looking at the budgets for those movies and them being relatively modest for their time even and it's like we really don't need another Marvel movie, we need like 12 fun flicks by artists
neutral · AI labelView post →“Hey man have you seen this movie [Running Scared/Boondock Saints/Equilibrium]? It’s fuckin’ sick.”
neutral · AI labelView post →I secretly believe that would have been a film of such Power that if he had got it made we would now be living in utopia. Like, the Equilibrium would have recalibrated around it. Curses would have ended. Arda would have been unmarred.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember that movie Equilibrium? I’ve thought of that a lot lately. Hiding art and books.
neutral · AI labelView post →part of the money would be spent suppressing the old version. I'd be sending out movie kill teams like from Equilibrium
neutral · AI labelView post →The most trans movie is actually Equilibrium. If you really liked it, and you haven't realized that you're an autistic trans woman with unresolved desires for motherhood, why haven't you?
positive · AI labelView post →What’s a movie you genuinely enjoy that is known for being bad? Does Equilibrium count? It is objectively silly and corny in a lot of ways, and unfortunately was released the year films like The Matrix changed the trajectory of action movies. But fuck me if I don't love every second of it.
positive · AI labelView post →Gotta fight a Jedi? Nothing a little blaster kata can’t fix. I really like the new Jango, despite his flaws. Also, does anyone out there even get an Equilibrium reference? I loved that movie. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #JangoFett #AttackoftheClones
positive · AI labelView post →Rang in the New Year with my yearly viewing of Equilibrium, a *terrible* movie, but a GREAT film. :D Happy New Year y'all!
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the movie Equilibrium and having the funny experience of "ooooooh that's where Mori took that from for Noel Vermillion"
neutral · AI labelView post →movie night was Equilibrium (2002). stupid movies are so fucking important
positive · AI labelView post →i was trying to remember what the drug was called in Equilibrium. but all i could remember was Expectane from Junior(1994). cos thats the last movie drug i've heard the name of. damn. imagine Equilibrium but they made everyone take Expectane.
neutral · AI labelView post →Up to watch Equilibrium? Good movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I was bummed Ultraviolet was such a mess. Wimmer's previous movie was "Equilibrium" which is IMO an underrated masterpiece.
positive · AI labelView post →Started the old Blade movie from 1999, and honestly... The action rivals Equilibrium & the Matrix, easily. The artstyle & sound design could easily be a Batman film. As far as grimdark comic book films go, it is actually pretty good. Really art deco & a bit cyberpunk.
neutral · AI labelView post →What’s your favorite movie with a “rotten” (below 60%) rating in Rotten Tomatoes Equilibrium (2002) Among many others. #movieSky #sciFi
neutral · AI labelView post →Equilibrium is one movie that got terrible critical reviews and yet is perfect in every way. That is all.
positive · AI labelView post →also, we had a new bonus episode for Patreon subscribers go up last week where @mattielubchansky.com and I watched Equilibrium, the dumbest and most "2002" dystopian movie ever made www.patreon.com/posts/155227...
neutral · AI labelView post →Equilibrium (2002 film)
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a vibe around a certain kind of sci-fi film from like the mid-to-early 00s that like... I don't know how to describe it. Like Minority Report, Equilibrium, and I, Robot all have the same flavor to me.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the movie Equilibrium, art was the enemy. When I saw this picture, that was what came to mind.
neutral · AI labelView post →So many fighting game characters use the Gun-Fu/Gun Kata style invented by the movie Equilibrium that it's easy to forget that movie came out in 2002. Most fighting game characters are inspired by 80's media, that one is really recent by comparison.
neutral · AI labelView post →Equilibrium is a fun movie, but it doesn’t seem like the people who came up with the “present minimum surface area to return fire” strategy have heard of hand grenades
neutral · AI labelView post →Currently watching: Equilibrium (2002)
neutral · AI labelView post →First we had Swordfish, then xXx, now to round off the early 2000s action trilogy we have.... Equilibrium (02) A slightly po faced (Come on, you know it is) but fucking awesome film. Now I know Gun Fu. (Well gun-kata)
positive · AI labelView post →Randomly on YouTube I just happened to see some clips of action scenes from the 2002 film Equilibrium, and I gotta say: it looks kinda dope. I've never watched it before; I'm considering ordering it for my end of the year, 2 week vacation viewing? 🤔-Worth It or Don't Bother?
positive · AI labelView post →Reflecting on my rubber fetish, realized it started as an unconscious feeling only later to obtain its form. The post is a deliberate going through the earliest memory of this vulnerable feeling awakened by the characters’ outfit in the Equilibrium film I watched as a teen
neutral · AI labelView post →Equilibrium I think this movie deserved to flop. It felt like it was desperately trying to reach an hour and twenty minutes; there was barely any action, it said so little, and it had no real strengths. I will never rewatch this again unless I'm gonna show it to others. I am satisfied, though
negative · AI labelView post →Equilibrium is also the film brave enough to ask if W. B. Yeats can be enhanced by gunfire and somehow the answer is "yes".
positive · AI labelView post →Meme: post your favorite film from the year you turned 18 If you haven’t seen Equilibrium PLEASE try to do so, though I don’t know that it streams anywhere. I haven’t watched it in a bit but man I loved this film
positive · AI labelView post →Havnt watched this in a while. Watching Equilibrium a movie that's always intrigued me. Action packed with a interesting look at a society that's completely deleted all emotions #filmsky #equilibrium
positive · AI labelView post →*neo waking up from the knowledge injection machine in the timeline where the Matrix and Equilibrium were made as a single movie* I know gun fu
neutral · AI labelView post →Seems a lot like the movie Equilibrium. youtu.be/PiRZJN5Cfao?...
neutral · AI labelView post →the film Equilibrium (2002) except they carry dildos instead of guns and call it “dongkata”
neutral · AI labelView post →Actually let’s go one better. Here’s a proposed “fight the power” film marathon, and I’ll happily take suggestions: SLC Punk The Matrix Sorry to Bother You Nimona Brazil Equilibrium Jojo Rabbit Mad Max: Fury Road Snowpiercer Malcolm X Gattaca V for Vendetta
neutral · AI labelView post →Basically the movie Equilibrium, but instead of emotion dampening drugs, you're legally required to take puppygirl hormones every few hours.
