I think Lord of War and Anon were his best post Gattaca. In Time was pretty “meh” in my opinion, but watchable, and the rest were forgettable.
I misspoke a bit. I don’t mean that his other works are garbage by any means. In fact I quite liked Lord of War and Anon. Just meant that they never really hit the same depth of messaging that Gattaca seemed to hit.
My father was right. It didn’t matter how much I lied on my resume. My real C.V. was in my cells. Why should anyone invest all that money to train me when there are a thousand other applicants with far cleaner profiles.
Of course it’s illegal to discriminate; “Genoism” they call it. But no one takes the laws seriously. If you refuse to disclose, they can always take a sample from a doorhandle, or a handshake. Even the saliva off your application form. And if all else fails, a perfectly legal drug test can just as easily become an illegal peek at your future in the company.
This movie stands as one of the most prescient I’ve ever watched. It’s a shame that Nicols later works never matched it, and that this movie itself is somewhat forgotten.
Reading the article and reaching the part about the extortion is just so heartbreakingly familiar for anyone who remembers the Amanda Todd case here in Canada.
There is no punishment strong enough for people like this.
I’m from a Portuguese family, and have been back to the Acores a number of times to visit family, etc… Even when I was very very young I remember going into the local church to look around and seeing how much gold was wasted on its interior while the village around it was still very much in a semi-poverty state. It was mind-blowing that that ever seemed “okay”.
When my folks were growing up (dad was born in 49, mom in 52) there were people on the island that didn’t have access to indoor plumbing, and yet every village’s local church was laced in gold.
Shameful.
If I read it correctly, Ukraine is facing a very large force to the north and struggling to repel it. If you open up another front, you force Putin to hopefully take troops from there to use on the defence in Kursk, thereby lessening the load on the soldiers defending in the North.
No shit?! Ya think, dummy? It’s almost as if that’s how war works…
Edited to add: Referring to Putin as a dummy, not the OP.

I don’t tend to look at the moon for mining itself, more as the port from which we can more cheaply and easily head to the asteroid belt where the money is.
Launching stuff off of earth in order to build large structures/ships in orbit is expensive as hell because of the gravity well. Get moon manufacturing off the ground, then everything we build and everywhere we go from there becomes infinitely cheaper (including Mars).
The Moon gives us the solar system. Far more than going direct to Mars ever would.
Is it that time of the year already? How time flies…
And by that I mean the time of the year where they manufacture some bullshit reason for our prices to keep going up…
On the upside, it sounds like Starmer is saying he’ll be dead soon.
Sadly, for many people, “factual” means “does it agree with what I already think?”.
Those people are lost causes.
I find that, at least with local Canadian Politics, they’re pretty accurate at least. So I’m guessing it would be similar for the U.S, although the number of so-called “media” sources is far larger.
Unless there’s another one that looks very very similar, I’m guessing its:
The new Russian ones are supposed to dodge interceptors at their final stage and fly crazy fast.
The war in Ukraine has proven that what they say they can do and what they can actually do, militarily speaking, is vastly different. I’d be surprised at this point if a russian ICBM isn’t just a homing pidgeon with a grenade strapped to it.
Wherever they go, Tim Horton’s Beiber-bites eventually follow. So yeah…in this case I’d agree with that assessment.
Tell my wife, “hello”…
