In a futuristic world, a strict regime has eliminated war by suppressing emotions: Books, art and music are strictly forbidden, and feeling is a crime punishable by death -- a rule that's enforced by feeding the denizens a mood-limiting drug. John Preston (Christian Bale) is a top government official responsible for destroying those who resist the rules. But when he misses a dose of his own medication, he experiences a pang of conscience. …
This movie does what the Matrix couldn't do for me - it makes me enjoy watching ridiculous and impossible fight scenes. The martial arts and Christian Bale make it easy to ignore the plot holes.

Cosmic Trigger II: Down to Earth and
Cosmic Trigger III: My Life After Death Robert Anton Wilson
Unlike the first Cosmic Trigger, these two have no real main focus. Conspiracies, synchronicities, straight pride, the Rosicrusians, sex, Freemasonry, dogs and Hannibal Lecter - imagine Robert Anton Wilson bathroom readers. Each chapter is only a few pages long and are basically just 'random' thoughts, rants, theories, etc. but all eventually connect at the end in typical RAW fashion. Awesome.

gotta love the originality of equilibrium's pistol fights... plus there's an admirable amount of underlying meaning to the movie for substance's sake
