KEY POINTS

•Director Gore Verbinski created the sci-fi movie 'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die' exploring tech burnout's apocalyptic risks.
•Sam Rockwell stars as a man fighting for humanity's survival against a future where technology unravels people.
•The film wide-release coincides with society's obsession with unproductive doomscrolling and screen addiction.

Director Gore Verbinski reminds us that doomscrolling isn't just bad for your mood, it's basically a sci-fi apocalypse in disguise in his film 'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die.' The movie stars Sam Rockwell as a guy battling a future where tech terror reigns—apparently, your phone isn't just stealing attention but might literally dismantle you limb by tangled limb as depicted by a man in a suit made entirely of ancient, junk tech, desperately shocked as wires yank his hand apart. In an era when we're all glued to screens for full-time living, Verbinski cheekily shows how our addiction could destroy humanity. Because if a guy wearing VHS tapes and old circuit boards can capitulate, what hope does an ego with a cracked screen have?

We’re all doomed, not by AI, but by our TVs and phones staging a hostile wire-pulling coup — starring a man in a tech graveyard suit. Great, I’m only a screen swipe away from becoming “junk.”

Nothing to see here, just a man being slowly dismantled by the ghost of dial-up modems past. Classic 2026 vibe.

Phone addiction’s real villain isn’t a popping notification, it’s an angry cable army ripping your hand off. Guess who forgot the charger? Spoiler: it’s humanity.
