Of course!

Wikipedia says they were used for training astronauts but:

• they weren't invented for that, actually developed for people with spinal injuries
• they depend on gravity, so can be used in training on earth, but not in space itself

I've added Gattaca to the list of films now in my OP.

I asked Lemmy, turns out it's an Aerotrim

So far, the 90s scifi movies with an aerotrim we've got so far:

• Contact
• Drive
• Fortress
• Gattaca
• Lawnmower Man
• Universal Soldier

Somehow I completely missed that of course Perot must have had a running mate. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I assumed it could awfully disorienting.

That looks right. Seems the original name is Aerotrim, but maybe that's trademarked so I guess other companies use names like gyroscope.

Thanks. How was it?

Yes! Thanks!

Wikipedia even mentions yet another 90s scifi movie I saw it in recently that I forgot had one (e.g. Lawnmower Man).

Is there an effedupmovies site? All I can find are lists on other sites (Letterboxd, IMDB, Ranker etc).

Jennifer's Body was impressive enough (when I saw it on a whim years after it came out) that I looked up its writer (Diablo Cody) and what else she'd done. Which led me to Young Adult. Wow! And: Ooof! Powerful stuff.

Or as one critic put it: "Young Adult may be the year's most engaging feel-bad movie".

Used to love watching Moviedrome, where Repo Man's director Alex Cox would introduce some amazing cult films and what he loved about them.

I think the Streisand Effect might have worked for just one or two books. But they banned 381.
