This is probably all bullshit but I'm going to watch it anyway.
Trailer for 'The Primordial Code' (released less than 2 weeks ago by Marijn Poels?)
I'm still not even sure what it's about, though here is the full movie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYQ3cI2J4aM
Discussion about it: https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/the ... ode.73164/
It seems to be about the zeitgeist (and maybe even inspired by the Zeitgeist series) of belief, where popular assumptions about belief propels erroneous conclusions that fail to reexamine something in context of how it was understood in the past? Down the rabbit hole, in other words?
I miss eccentric and pseudo-intellectual documentaries (things such as 'What the Bleep Do We Know!?') and they seem to not be made as much, though possibly because people start to scrutinize the content more if they aren't already into some kind of GAIA (the shit show online "educational/entertainment" cult-like fetish; ie people like Joe Dispenza might still be featured in documentaries but unless people aren't retarded do they actually believe what he's saying.)

Watching the Mask (1985) movie, the mother character played by Cher does allude to turning tricks for money (such as going in for an interview and offered the job plus "bonus" money, she accepted the offer but turned down the job.
Apparently, someone that knew the real "Rocky" (Roy Lee "Rocky" Dennis) explains his mother:
"I knew Rocky quite well and the movie is pure fiction in regards to the portrayal of his mother. She was a prostitute who, while Rocky and I we were in the hospital, was busted for turning tricks in Rocky's hospital bed, stealing drugs, needles, selling drugs, and stealing other patient's personal belongings. The hospital, being charitable, decided not to have her arrested; she was placed on a "guarded list" which meant that in order to see Rocky she had to be escorted by a guard who never let her out of his sight until she was escorted to the parking lot. The movie makes her out to be a concerned mother who was a saint. That is pure rubbish. She was such a "good" mother that the county considered putting Rocky in foster care. She would disappear for weeks at a time and Rocky would have to fend for himself living off the goodness of neighbours who fed him. He was a brilliant young man. He was a biker-kid, so pretty rough around the edges, but he was fun to be around and he was absolutely brilliant."
