Why I don’t fear Artificial Intelligence

Posted on March 9, 2023 by Steve

Despite the people at the forefront of the technology being greedy sociopaths, AI has a long way to go before it becomes anything like Skynet or Demon Seed. Think about this. When is the last time have you had a call routed … Continue reading →

Why Gestapo NPH for this month?

Posted on November 17, 2022 by Steve

It’s a nod to one of the best Satires made in the Nineties…Starship Troopers which hit theaters 25 years ago. Like most movie goers, I saw it the first time and thought, “Hmm, pretty decent Sci-Fi/Action flick. Not sure it … Continue reading →

Smart toilet! Hard pass.

Posted on April 9, 2022 by Steve

They’ve got to be kidding with this so-called smart toilet! I understand we need to take greater care of our health given all the horrors we Westerners we eat and yes, I’m way, way behind schedule on getting the tube … Continue reading →

Ad Astra, more like Ad Satietatem

Posted on February 23, 2021 by Steve

I watched this last year as an accidental run of depressing Sci-Fi flicks I found on streaming services: Prospect, Aniara and A Quiet Place. The last one was Horror too but it’s set in the near future as some time had passed since the … Continue reading →

I know all about the limitations of movies versus books, so spare methose comments. Ready was always going to be a huge challenge since Cline’s references were a copyright/trademark nightmare. … Continue reading →

Pac Rim: Uprising: Rental or Streaming

Posted on March 29, 2018 by Steve

Maybe it was for the best to not make anymore movies with jaegers and kaiju duking it out in the various cities on the Pacific Ocean. Uprising proved the old adage with sequels…more is less, especially when the producers are blatantly bending over backwards to kiss … Continue reading →
