Mini-Transmission: In Dreams (1999) - Psychic Killer Robert Downey Jr pairs with a Bluetooth Printer
Annette Bening’s throwing computers, Margo Martindale’s scolding patients, and Robert Downey Jr. might be Bluetooth-paired to a printer across town. The Machine’s latest Mini-Transmission dives into the surreal dream logic of In Dreams (1999) — with plenty of scuba, psychic sync-ups, and badly rendered CGI fish.

Truman’s confession: he just wants Margo Martindale to yell at him (and Landen’s real-life brush with her politeness).
-
The mystery of In Dreams’ CGI fish — and why no one put real ones in the Titanic tank.
-
Psychic links, dream logic, and the mechanics of supernatural Bluetooth pairing.
-
The Trailer Game, where Truman and Landen try (and fail) to predict how DreamWorks marketed this fever dream.
