I'm hoping it's more like a much needed vaccine for the American zeitgeist. Get people discussing what another civil war would actually look like and hopefully get us to realize the need for civil debates.

I watched the trailer and Jesse Plemens delivery of "Yeah, but what type of Americans" sent shivers down my spine.

I didn't. It became so overused.

Just a thought, but with deep brain implants aren't the electronics separate from the electrodes that actually go in the brain? That would make them a little more accessible without needing to do brain surgery every time.

Maybe that's the middle ground for this situation at this moment in time: make the sensors/electrodes/static components needed for the health issue follow the same life+20 years and separate the processing pieces into a container that could still be surgically stored under the skin, but more easily accessed for maintenance, repair, replacement.

Theoretically, this could allow 3rd parties to come in and leverage existing installations by leaving the lifetime components in place and replacing the processing unit.

This could be the beginning of human device engineering standards similar to what IEEE does for computers and technology.

I think the joke is that whoever is badass enough to ride the bear is making the other patrons leave as fast as possible, even if it means throwing themselves through the window.

Sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet that enjoyed the movie. It's my guilty pleasure watch.

It's completely ok to say "I really liked the thing, but I just can't watch it because I can only see the actor behind the character". If I found out someone punched puppies in their spare time, I would find it really hard to enjoy the things they are in. I don't think it has to be any different with an actor who's political stance you are vehemently against.

I like the fan theory that Event Horizon is a prequel of sorts to the Warhammer universe.

Gotta drive up that traffic and revenue somehow. He's done sold his soul a long time ago, nothing to lose at this point.

I disagree. I really enjoyed it. Nic Cage was giving a great Nic Cage performance and I liked the whole idea of the Dracula's relationship with his servant is just like an abusive relationship.

Plus, I'm a sucker for over the top gore.

I'm right there with you. It's always those who scream the loudest

Any time someone bitches about government oversight and regulations, I think about cases just like this. In many cases we should WANT a large bureaucracy with plenty of checks and approvals overseeing things like this.

Proper cat-aloging is extremely im-purr-tant for future research
