[arg_discuss] ARG movies?

[John Willoughby]

No offense intended but I think that's an impossibly vague description. ARG
is such a fuzzy category...

If you mean arg as in alternate reality, then there are many examples to
choose from. From "20,000 leagues" to "The genetic opera" and everything in
between.

If you mean arg as in what most of the people who frequent unfiction.com
would think of...that's different.

And even then do you mean something that is totally TINAG and simply
presents an "I wake up and the world is different"? or something that
features a "game" and pulls back a curtain (at least at some point) - like
"The Game"?

An ARG definition fits so well the old joke about "ask 10 people, get 12
answers". 

And then, how narrow are you defining a "film"? Can it be a reasonable
length of assorted vid like Marble Hornets or iamamiwhoami? Or does it have
to be a contiguous 1-2 hour production?

Hello List,

I am wondering if anyone here knows about feature length documentaries or
fictional films made about ARG experiences.  We know about "The Game" and
"eXistenZ" which gesture toward pervasive gaming.  I am speaking more
specifically about contemporary movies which focus on ARG / Trans-Media
players, projects, etc.  Recommendations are appreciated!

Thanks very much,
Jeff Hull
