"I'll take the red one." - New Movie Trailer with Ben Stiller

Wikipedia: Red Pill and Blue Pill

"The blue pill and its opposite, the red pill, are pop culture symbols representing the choice between the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue) and embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red)."

I thought the symbolism at the end of this movie trailer was interesting. Looks like it will be a good movie.

Basted on this Short Story.

Even though I'll take the red pill. I would take the blue pill to see how the illusion feels like. Also the trailer is trippy! I wonder what the story would be like.

I dig it Enoch!

Though.... What would happen if you take both pills??? A volitile mixture of illusional reality?

That's called '___'

Personally I think that most people here say they would take the red pill. Most members in here have taken the red pill. We all try to see something that is not on the surface, something deeper than the mundane world. Whether that is a JFK conspiracy or a NSA conspiracy or UFO's and Little green ghosts.

The true question one should ask themselves is; given your existing reality, would you opt for a different one if you could?

I wrote a SciFi story years ago about Virtual Reality. long story short is that if you could have any reality you wanted; Why would you want this one? If you could craft your world to exactly what you wanted; would you still want this one?

Truth is? Most of us would kill to take the blue pill.

yeeah, that looks really cool. Mr stiller knows stuff man, am sure of it thanks for share

vid above don't work for me, here's another incase anyone else's same

The name Walter Mitty and the derivative word "Mittyesque" have entered the English language, denoting an ineffectual person who spends more time in heroic daydreams than paying attention to the real world, or more seriously, one who intentionally attempts to mislead or convince others that he is something that he is not.
