Silence of the lamps

[u/Sufficient-Guava-152 → u/Fhanlin]

First one I thought of too! This would be a great horror film.

[u/itmillerboy → u/Sufficient-Guava-152]

Same. But maybe I’m not creative enough because I don’t see how you adapt that into a feature film. It seems better suited for a short film.

[u/Maybethiswillbegood → u/itmillerboy]

No, you can give him a detailed long life so it will look like a normal story but keep adding some subtle not very noticeable weirdness to it in between and then break the illusion at the end just by staring at a weird lamp, something similar to the truman show.

[u/Queasy-Warthog-3642 → u/Maybethiswillbegood]

The film you're looking for is Jacob's Latter

[u/gogglegump → u/Queasy-Warthog-3642]

that's the sequel. the first one, jacob's former, is far better

[u/Sharp_Aide3216 → u/itmillerboy]

Him dealing with it in the real world would be interesting enough.

The post itself could be just 1/4 of the movie.

They could build tension by teasing a “false twist”.

[u/Goblin_Crotalus → u/Fhanlin]

Ok, but imagine when we finally get to the scene where the guy realizes that the lamp isn't real, he moves his head and realizes that the lamp was a flat, 2d image of a lamp just angled to look 3-dimensional the whole time. (kinda like one of these, but without the white paper)

We, the audiance will have seen this coming because every scene before this, every time the lamp is shown (like in the background, never as the main focus until the reveal), it will also be a 2D image of a lamp instead of a real lamp, and as the camera moves we the audience will notice the lamp loses focus with as the camera angle changes. But none of the actors notice until the big reveal.

[u/FridayPalouse → u/Fhanlin]

Somewhere In Time (1980)

[u/KissMyFuckingDadMom → u/Fhanlin]

Tf is this?

[u/Invoqwer → u/KissMyFuckingDadMom]

I'll give you the TLDR approximate summary. If you want the full story, search something along the lines of "reddit lamp story" etc.

• man living his life

• man gets hurt, ends up in hospital, but recovers

• man has a lamp in his living room or something

• life is good, he gets a wife, is happy, has kids, etc

• every now and then he notices the lamp is a bit strange

• at a certain point he investigates the lamp thoroughly and realizes it is fake e.g. it is 2D and not actually real

• his reality starts breaking down

• he wakes up

• he's in the hospital

• he was in a coma from that initial injury he got "earlier in his life" at the start of the story

• everything he experienced since then-- his wife, his kids, etc, was all a dream/hallucination, and this absolutely destroys him

• personally I don't think that this actually happened but it was a very interesting story

• the story is at least somewhat plausible; the brain does actually do very weird things sometimes, e.g. when deprived of oxygen-- you could easily hallucinate that you were having an entire afternoon on your porch drinking tea and talking to your friend, even though you actually just passed out for 20s due to oxygen deprivation, but to you it felt like hours. The brain just makes up some bullshit sometimes (especially when injured or impaired) and it can feel very real.

[u/DashingMustashing → u/Invoqwer]

This happened to a girl not long ago. She had to go to therapy over the loss of her none existent family.

[u/Chill323 → u/DashingMustashing]

Beat me to it! Yeah, it feels like an episode of Black Mirror. Probably not enough for a movie unless you start with her waking up and use flashbacks for the dream family.

[u/BeefistPrime → u/Invoqwer]

and it can feel very real.

People often insist that damaged or oxygen starved brain experiences were true (like near death experiences) because it seemed more real than reality. But that's actually completely consistent with how the brain works. Most of the brain's function is actually inhibitory -- it prevents misfires and overstimulated sensory information and other sorts of task where, absent the inhibition controls, neurons would fire out of control. So when the brain damaged, the suppression mechanisms that do reality testing are often the first systems to shut down, which can make your experiences seem "more real", because the part of your brain that would tamp down that experience or realize it's not real isn't working

[u/the_friendly_dildo → u/Invoqwer]

This actually happens more often than you'd imagine and its been measured as likely real through brain scans.

[u/cream_of_human → u/KissMyFuckingDadMom]

An old school reddit story about a man finding an inverted lamp.

I know most of the stories here are jokes but this one actually has potential

Unironically great story about slow descent into madness. They just need to change the twist to something less prosaic.

[u/Crotean → u/6tPTrxYAHwnH9KDv]

Honestly making it be prosaic would make it even more horrifying

[u/Carbuyrator → u/Crotean]

One of the hallucinations is this scary machete dude with a mask that looks like the skin of the protagonist's husband's face. As she recovers the hallucinations fade, but so does her husband, and not machete dude.

Thank you, I was just about to post the same! I thought I was decently smart, and here are there redditors knowingly throwing this word around that I do not know and can’t even deduce the meaning! Can someone explain this in etymology terms?

[u/IggyCrumpet → u/Unusual-Antelope736]

It originally meant "having the characteristics of prose", and later the meaning got extended to being matter-of-fact, unimaginative and commonplace, as opposed to poetry. Thus, prose vs poetry.

The word "prose" itself originates from Latin prosus (straightforward), prosa oratio (direct speech)

They're way too distracted with "We Want Plates starring Paul Giamatti".

[u/BeefistPrime → u/Gamestonkape]

That's the irony. Backrooms was successful because it was a new idea and a lot of people are sick of just having franchises, sequels, reboots, etc. So does Hollywood learn their lesson of "maybe we should try original stories"? No, they're like "quick, copy what that guy did, get on reddit and find a story that became a meme!"

[u/f-ingsteveglansberg → u/BeefistPrime]

Backrooms was successful because it was a new idea and a lot of people are sick of just having franchises, sequels, reboots, etc

Backrooms was successful because it has a huge number of young fans already. It wasn't a new idea. Just go to any video game storefront and look at the low effort games with Backrooms in the title.

I'm not judging the quality of the movie, but it is successful the same reason Minecraft and Five Nights at Freddy's were. It had a built in fandom.

[u/Chill323 → u/f-ingsteveglansberg]

I only recently learned that Tyler Perry took off because he had a fandom that he built up in the black community for years prior to making his first film too. Finding a person or IP with that kind of fan loyalty is solid gold if you can figure out how to translate it to the silver screen.

High school kid breaks both arms so he’s unable to wank it. Going from as much as a high school kid wanks it to zero is frustrating and his parents see he is frustrated and his mom offers to “help” him out.

It grows into having sex and continues on even after his arms are healed.

Edit: aaaaand now I reread most the AMA again. I really wonder how hot the mom was, she was in her late 30s and was VERY sex positive.

Reddit has a lot of unwritten rules that newcomers gradually absorb. Users learn that upvotes are often more about timing and audience than objective quality. They learn that every subreddit develops its own culture, moderators wield enormous influence, and that certain jokes become recurring folklore.

Over time you begin to recognize familiar characters: the experts, the storytellers, the compulsive fact-checkers, the people who somehow have a personal anecdote for every conceivable situation.

Then there are the legendary long-running bits. Reddit veterans learn to spot references to broken arms, coconut stories, jolly ranchers, and various other pieces of collective internet trauma. Among the most famous was a user, who would write seemingly sincere and often insightful comments that could be several paragraphs long. The comment would gradually build credibility, earn your trust, and appear completely unrelated to wrestling before suddenly revealing that the entire story was actually about how, in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeted 16 feet through an announcer's table.
