Terry Gillliam already has. It's very good.
Is that Brazil? I tried to watch that in college and I think i had a stroke.

Saw the trailer you posted. That looks like the type of fucked up movie I'd like.

I actually considered this... the difference of Mtruk in the eyes of Lynch versus Gilliam. Either way I imagine it would be sad, sad, sad, ...and a wee bit absurd.

Okay. Well, I haven't done a single hit today. I suppose I'll see if I can hit half goal by change of day.

Have you seen Zero Theorem?

The movie? It's "Zero Theorem". It's a very well done, near-future, pre-apocalyptic movie about the meaninglessness of life.:)

Brazil is one of my favorite movies. You should watch it again. Totally worth the stroke.

And no, that's not Brazil. Same director, though.

I'll add it to my "Fucked Up Movie Sunday" schedule.

Yes, and handily forgotten it. I don't want to work on such quite magical things with a "manager" overseeing my whims. I'm more of a warehouse dweller ala Bladerunner than a church dweller.

I started working on that Rhy's HIT at 7pm last night and got done with it at 11pm while working on a grip of things. It approved today and yeah I went kind of fast but it approved. That ain't bad at all.

:thumbdown:
Oh ok. Yea I thought that thing was more like 6-8 hours.

Sometimes they are the same though...

play devil's advocate the inexperienced turker.. catch a $47 hit and get it done in 4 hours or whatever time it takes and can be done for the day.. As opposed to sitting around for 6-8 hours trying to reach that... This obviously depends on when you turk etc.. late night turkers would probably benefit from it as its usually pretty dead.
i would be done for the week if I caught that LOL

But, you have to admit, when he starts telecommuting, it hits pretty close to home.:)

You know, I bought this goofy phoneVR mask and my first thought using it wasn't porn but how I could have more 'screens' to work
You don't really need more screens, just more screen "real estate". Once you remove physical limitations and cost of real screens,(monitor, phone, table, tv) just one giant screen would work. It's like if you needed more desk space. If you had unlimited room and money, you wouldn't buy more desks, just a bigger one.

Also, "Black Mirror, 15 million points" is a lot like MTurk in the near future.:)

I think you misspelled David Lynch
I think Darren Aronofsky would be a good choice for making an Mturk movie, since he has experience in making movies where people have shitty depressing lives or are going insane or both.
