-Back in the glorious 90s, when kids still enjoyed linear TV, we had _Polsat_.
-In the post-communist Poland, this was the first _western_ TV station.
-Filled with western movies, and western series[^fn:1]
-Among those, there were constant replays of _The Lawnmower Man_[^fn:2]
-I watched it on every occasion and loved it.
-
-Now, 30 years later it is time for a rewatch.
-No cyberpunk deep dive can be considered a good one without _The Lawnmower Man_.
-
-_The Lawnmower Man_ is a movie about a disabled lawnmower man, Jobe, who, with the usage of virtual reality, becomes a genius.
-Soon after, an Evil Company, stars secretly giving him drugs contracted by the military.
-And as result, he starts exhibiting mind reading abilities and telekinesis (because, obviously, why not?).
-We've got the (popular at the time) subtext about the dangers of corporates who, without supervision, play God.
-Somehow we stopped doing that, and now we've got Altman killing humanity with the clap of happy crowd.
-_Lawmower Man_ is a movie about a great technology twisted by corporate overlords.
-Fitting.
-
-Jobe becomes a psychic, genius killer (like every mad genius), who decides to take over the cyberspace.

-Remember when huge companies were scary?

-The movie was initially released as a _Stephen King_ movie.
-King, however, sued the producers, as the movie has nothing to do the short story of the same name.
-And he won, because it was based on original script called _CyberGod_.
-Damn, I miss _cyber_ sounding cool.
-They should have the original name, instead of forcing King on everyone.
-And yes, I know King was the king back then.

-The movie is we have here is a much dumbed down version of _Flowers for Algeron_, which I intend to finally read.
-I don't think anyone ever called it a _good_ movie, and for a good reason.
-It's cool, it's got great cyberspace CGI, it's got Pierce Brosnan.
-It also has an opening scene with a monkey using a gun, so yeah.
-
-Story-wise is as straight forward as it gets.
-The first half is full of sweet shots of grass and sexualization of a lawnmower.
-And the most awkward sex scene I've seen in ages... or two.
-Then, through a heavy-handed comment about religion and corporations we go the killing part.
-
-This movie fails as horror (there is not even blood or any scare here), and fails as morality play (it's not smart enough).
-But it is a testament to the glorious time, when _cyberspace_ was magical and full of potential.
-We sure deserve more of that.
-

-The cyberspace we all need.

-
-I give it a 3.0/5.
-
-I was **sure** the ending of this film was from the sequel.
-But nope - I don't remember anything from the second one.
-Therefore, see you on the other side, _Beyond Cyberspace_.
-
-If anything, it's a great movie to show everyone how amazing trackballs are.
-And we all know it is a fact.
-No one can tell me otherwise.

-The hidden star of the movie, right behind that hairy guy.
-Look at that keyboard!
-Look at how beige it is!

-[^fn:1]: And Polish version of those.
-    We had a great copy of _The Honeymooners_ named _Miodowe Lata_.
-    The translation of the title is surprisingly spot-on.
-[^fn:2]: Under an amazingly translated title, which would translate back as _The Lawmower Man of Minds_.
-    Perfection.
-    We knew _Dirty Dancing_ as _Spinning Sex_ and _Die Hard_ as _Glass Trap_.
-    Those were simpler times.
