User ID: 76948143 United States 08/21/2019 09:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did "Being John Malkovich" (a movie) INSPIRE one Landlord's 9 "Micro-ceiling Apartments" in NY Building! Video One of my favorite films is in mainstream news today with a very bizzaaaarrrr story that seems "inspired" by the 1999 cult classic called "Being John Malkovich." Here's the news link: [ link to www.hoodrivernews.com (secure)] SPOILER ALERT: Youtube trailers show the original clips about Floor 7 1/2 where struggling new businesses rented cheap New York "micro-offices" and where John Malkovich (a real actor's name if you didn't know) applies for a job. John Cusak's character unwittingly discovers a tiny door behind one of the filing cabinets which leads to a PORTAL into the mind of John Malkovich. A person going through the portal can "be John Malkovich" for up to 1/2 hour. Cusak and his partner (a co-worker) decide to "sell rides in John Malkovich's mind" which backfire in this classic comedy.
Clips from the movie: [ link to youtu.be (secure)] 3 Minute duration. Number 7 1/2 Floor has "micro offices" in the movie "Being John Malkovich" (1999.) Great flick! [ link to youtu.be (secure)] Official Trailer with John Malkovich and Charlie Sheen in "Being John Malkovich" (strange conversation about John being possessed.) Unfortunately, the majority of the apartments were rented to folks who are in the country illegally. They have been evicted by the city. Let's hope there were no PORTALS in their apartments. These guys MUST HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE...it's just too strange to make apartments from EXISTING CEILINGS! O'sCookie Last Edited by TheOracle'sCookie on 08/21/2019 09:57 AM |

I don't think so. |

Skeptical (that creating "micro-apartments in an established New York City apartment building") could be INSPIRED by a fictional movie? Think again! There a dozens of threads on GLP (you can use the "Adv.Search" option at top right of this screen--use either Prediction, Predict, or Predictive Programming) to search for them. Some are under the term "predictive programming" since some theorists on films believe that "secret messages" can be hidden in plain sight in the drama of a movie. Here's one example I found that was all the way back in 2010: Thread: ***URGENT: PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING IN PSY-OP FILM "KNOWING": OIL RIG EXPLOSION AND SPILL!*** You can find dozens of others (including a couple I hosted.) So...it's really NOT that far out to think this idea could have been taken from the plot of the Malkovich film. O'sCookie |

A film that grossed a total, including foreign box office of about $9 million dollars of $32 million overall wasn't seen by enough people to "inspire" anyone. One of the most poorly imagined and executed films of all time. Right up there with "Plan 9 From Outer Space"...

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." Ronald Reagan |
