neutral · AI labelView post →I speculate that the total amount of money received by SCP creators for their contributions to this film will be zero dollars. Limitless precedent
neutral · AI labelView post →Limitless is a movie whose plot relies on a pill that lets you remember everything in your life, except to pay back the loan shark you owe money to.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just randomly found the Limitless pill (pill from the movie Limitless) about to take it. Get ready for the new me.

I thought dang, maybe I should talk to my doctor. I'd love to be more productive. I never even considered that meds might optimize my gaming!

neutral · AI labelView post →i've watched Limitless (movie) probably a dozen times and i remember watching the Limitless pilot (probably in a TCA hotel room??) and thinking "this will get canceled after one season but i can't wait to watch that one season in like, ten years" :)
neutral · AI labelView post →I think I'm gonna watch Limitless. The movie where he takes the limitless pill and becomes limitless
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched him get asked “What’s your favorite movie” and it took a solid half minute of silence before he came up with Limitless Like,
neutral · AI labelView post →In 2011 the movie "Limitless" with Bradley Cooper was way ahead of its time. It tells the story of a guy how gets used to Claude Pro, then runs of tokens and rushes to find his Claude superpowers again.
neutral · AI labelView post →one of my dear friends is fully off social media and two days in she’s already making neurological connections and technological innovations most of us Posterbrained baboons could only dream of. she’s gone fully Bobby Limitless. from the movie Limitless
neutral · AI labelView post →Limitless is actually a movie about white supremacy and how it's insatiable In this essay, I will
neutral · AI labelView post →he was in a movie that was Fine (Limitless) that was then adapted into a TV show, and he slummed it on TV to reprise that role! As Hollywood standards go that's basically a man of the people!
neutral · AI labelView post →English-subtitled version of Hiroshi Harada's 1981 film 限りなき楽園 Limitless Paradise, is available, legally, here: youtu.be/5IWXAjHXCo8?...
neutral · AI labelView post →A better version of the 2011 Bradley Cooper film LIMITLESS (2011) would have been for him to have been granted exceptional intelligence and be stymied at every attempt at success because success in 21st century America isn't about merit
negative · AI labelView post →Oh wait this is just the plot of the movie Limitless (2011)
neutral · AI labelView post →On ESPN, these delusional fools were saying things like Austin Reeves was the best 3rd option in the NBA… I was running down the rosters of the other 29 NBA franchises in my mind—which works sorta like the film “Limitless” depicts—and thinking “That is somewhere between an exaggeration and a LIE”
neutral · AI labelView post →I have discovered the Limitless TV show from 2015 that is a sequel to the Limitless movie with Bradley Cooper is surprisngly very good and now I'm wishing a show from 2015 did not get cancelled after 1 season. like wtf surely they can still do season 2 right?? there's still hope no?
positive · AI labelView post →AND IT'S FROM A COMPLETELY AVERAGE MOVIE. It's like believing the Limitless pills or the corkscrew bullets from Wanted are real.
neutral · AI labelView post →or when they made a spinoff of the movie Limitless that was basically also just this
neutral · AI labelView post →Feeling absolutely cheated after seeing a billboard for a show called “Limitless” thinking they were bringing back the fantastic TV show based on the movie, and instead it’s just a Hemsworth telling people to go to the gym and eat veggies.
positive · AI labelView post →When you finally wrap your hands around a project that for, whatever reason, felt impossible and looking at anything to do with it made you squint in pain and look away, you feel limitless. Like the movie Limitless (I’ve never seen it, is it good?)
neutral · AI labelView post →Limitless the movie is very entertaining and very dumb. It seems to not have anything to say beyond "wouldn't it be cool if you could learn a language in a day???" and like yeah I guess so. Movies generally have themes and shit but Limitless is simply like brooo look how sick this drug is!!
neutral · AI labelView post →Just thought of a TV show I wish had had more than one season: LIMITLESS (2015–2016). Neil Burger's 2011 film of the same name was pretty good, but the TV show was GREAT. (I also liked the book on which it was based - Alan Glynn's DARK FIELDS, which is darker than either the film or the TV show.)
positive · AI labelView post →BRB, I’m reviving the DTV action movie industry by producing Limitless Vs Lucy
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching the 2011 movie "Limitless" again. I really wish there were a pill to help me find all the things I have in my brain. The info is there, I just can't find it due to the pathways cutting out. 🫤🧠 -E #TBI
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching some of the wild-ass claims Trump's people are throwing around about Canada makes me think of the "US has decided to invade Mexico because FUCK YOU THATS WHY" from Limitless - the novel, not the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →A rare visit with my dad, recommending him some B-movies. Upgrade, Limitless, Boss Level, Nobody - oh god THESE ARE ALL THE SAME MOVIE! Turns out I like competence porn and NO OTHER THINGS.
positive · AI labelView post →randomly thinking about the movie Limitless. A movie about a drug give you superintelligence but give you also horrible side effects and also addiction for life, ending with "a little drug is okay if you know how to manage", which is very likely the moral stance of the exec boards on cocaine
neutral · AI labelView post →"Limitless" is a movie about a guy discovering caffeine pills
neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: ‘Limitless’ was a spin-off of the 2011 film ‘Limitless’ starring Bradley Cooper, who reprised his role as “Eddie Mora” for the series. (IMDB) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →It's the real life version of the movie Limitless. Except every thought he voices is just more mind diarrhea.
neutral · AI labelView post →Last year I had the great luck to work with Hiroshi Harada (Midori) on a subtitled version of Limitless Paradise alongside a video essay, Paradise Rediscovered, that covers the film in the context of his body of work Limitless Paradise youtu.be/5IWXAjHXCo8 Paradise Rediscovered youtu.be/s31-sptAwnk
neutral · AI labelView post →So the thing you need to understand about the movie Limitless is that it does open with “A film by NEIL BURGER”
neutral · AI labelView post →Limitless (2011) is a very dumb movie about Bradley Cooper becoming the smartest man in the world by doing research chemicals. Everyone wants to kill or undermine him, but he’s too smart and cool because of the drugs. It’s what everyone feels like the first time they try ADHD medication
negative · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Dark Fields (2001) by Alan Glynn was adapted as Limitless in 2011 & directed by Neil Burger. The film & novel vary in some ways as the book delves into greed & addiction while the film leans more on the protagonist's meteoric rise & artificial triumph. 🧠♾️📈 #filmsky #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Limitless, but if you take too much you get a version of Amphetamine psychosis that is equivalent.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sat in the doctor's office, sweat runs slick down his furrowed brow. Under the desk he shakily grips a scalpel. He is screaming in his mind. Lips tracing his mantra "Do not ask again". For the sixth time this week, I venture: "Doctor I would please like one Limitless pill from the movie Limitless"
neutral · AI labelView post →if you've never seen the film Limitless (Prime) - you should, no it isn't great, in fact it isn't particularly good, but silly and fun, Bradley Cooper stars as a would be author who is given a mind boogling human enhancement drug and it goes from there - our Abbie Cornish is in it too & De Niro :)

positive · AI labelView post →(3 of 3) I'll also be making a short introductory essay regarding the film in a similar spirit to my Limitless Paradise video. Zashikiro is an extensive realization of Harada's partial documentary style and the essay will cover how its structure reflects his form of political analysis.

neutral · AI labelView post →See, when the drug dealer used that 10% phrase in the movie "Limitless", I glided right by it because the character was an idiot. When the scientist played by Morgan Freeman used it in "Lucy", my eyes rolled so hard my head was like a slot machine and I readjusted my expectations for a stupid movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Backrooms was kind of a nothingburger of a movie. Limitless potential and they choose to basically do nothing with it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Dr. Strangelove, A Clockwork Orange, The Godfather, Forest Gump, Adaptation, Limitless, Hunt for Red October, Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, Princess Bride, Jaws, every James Bond film... There are TONS of movies better than the book they're based on. It's pretty childish to deny that
neutral · AI labelView post →there's a bit in Limitless (bad dumb movie btw) where Robert De Niro asks Bradley Cooper a question and he very visibly doesn't know the answer and then he storms off yelling "i just need to go take a piss" and it's very funny that that works to get him out of that situation
