Feel for you pichlo...
knowing every line from the barbie movies I think is absolutely fabulous. It keeps the ugly grit at bay. My lovely lady likes her film no grittier than say...humphrey bogart ... and I love her for it. Love film noir. I get my future-fix when she's not around. I like the uncertainty now and again...love the cult classics...etc.
And yeah it is a pretty well done film eh? haunting ...yea.
Chilling I think because I see such a possible future AS a possible future.
To steer such massive numbers of human beings as our species now has...without destroying ourselves...allowing everyone the equality and standard of living everyone wishes with diminishing planetary resource base...and NOT have individuals, communities, interest groups, cultures, nations or regions rebel ...
as the days, months and years tick by it is going to become increasingly challenging and it is going to become an increasingly desperate situation for us without a doubt.

Another film I think I mentioned that just hits the scientific buttons of the various A.I. conundrums... and fairly well is... "the machine"
I also just watched the very well done "Automata" with Antonio Banderas and the guy...the lead male from the cult classic from the 80's "Hardware" (can't remember his name at the mo.) (Hardware btw is as classic as they come.Adrian Brody, Iggy Pop is the radio d.j. "Angry Bob" ...the industrial metal group Ministry is played and has vids on tv's throughout the film...as well...Sid Vicious has a tune or two in it and ...oh yea...Lenny from the group Motorhead plays a water taxi driver ...oh yea ..great movie...anyway you guys should see it...back to "Automata"... ) and a slew of cameos by other names. Antonio does good. The film is well done. Liked it. Liked it alot.
Also saw "the Anomaly" ...not bad...it was ok-ish. Wouldn't say it was a keeper really though.
Also I'm curious how the hugh jackman "Chappie" will measure up. I'll check it out when it is released and see.
