In the 1930s, coca-cola was made with cocaine. By the ‘90s they had switched to epoxy as the main flavor ingredient.
(in the '70s and '80s, they used lead as a sweetener, today they use good old methyl ethyl ketone)

Not sure if this is exactly what you mean, but for me it was:
Kids
Clerks
But I’m A Cheerleader
Trainspotting
Go!
Fight Club
I guess maybe to an extent The Matrix but that’s so far from reality (or is it?!?) that it’s hard to say. I guess it kind of felt like it, being a “black trench coat” type around that time…

Pi. Just watched it again today with my son who’s now the same age I was then. Loved the soundtrack!

That was a trip, same dude went on to do A Scanner Darkly, which… I mean you cast Reeves, Ryder, Downey Jr, Harrelson and then just like… yeah but we’re gonna rotoscope the whole thing so it gets slept on. I guess most of those names are bigger now than then, but still, bold move.

Did you ever at times feel like Pi has borrowed a few elements from Terry Gilliam’s Brazil? I know they’re completely different films and therefore it’s a difficult comparison to make without really being exposed to both, but I always kind of felt there was some similar twisting of the plots.
