Just saw Blackfish, hard hitting documentary more so because there is such little we can do about it

I didn't really like Lucy.

Discuss.

No need to discuss, it is awful bollocks.

I h8 u guyz!!!

True, but Blackfish did a decent amount of damage to SeaWorld itself.

Yeah, I found it a bit flat, all in all, and the pacing seemed really off

Forum ride to Cambridge?

"They catastrophically misunderstood the character of Blofeld".

Characters? In a James Bond film? I'll have what s/he's having.

It did damage but nothing detremental moar closure less whales

Spoiler alert
Lucy was good for abit, highly functional cerebral cortex seems legit up to 20% then she became God and I'm done.

I finally got around to watching Bitter Lake, pretty much does what it accuses Western Government of doing in simplifying the story, but some captivating footage nonetheless. Well worth a look.

But it's not legit because the whole idea that we only use less than 20% of our brain capacity is a total myth

I'm no neuroscientist but if the answer to how much of our brain capacity do we use is not ambiguous then any ideas to how much we actually use?

All of it, at different times, when doing different things. Each part of the brain has a function but it doesn't always need to do something at all times so it looks like less than 100% is being used at one point.

apart from that empty spot they taught us about in Iron Man 3 right?

Cartel Land was a quite good. There is a lot to it, and multiple stories could have been told. I feel the filmmakers weren't sure which narrative they wanted to give, so they just put everything in. It makes the film a bit jarring, but still very much worth a watch. (And a quick google tells me that there's a whole other story still to be told/taking place in the aftermath).

Cowspiracy (documentary) on Sunday. I've posted a couple of thoughts about it in the Vegan Thread.

warcraft trailer leaked.

The Demon Seed - Some interesting ideas, but bejaysus, does it get silly in places...perhaps the book is better

Rabid - Early Cronenberg, and competent.

Wash your mouth out, early Cronenberg is as good as it gets...

I enjoyed Ant-Man, good fun...

Written by Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish! Surprised me when the credits rolled. Tight enjoyable rubbish.

The Wolfpack was pretty intriguing. I honestly thought it was fiction before going in. Still want convinced until about 30 minutes.

Antman was alright, also enjoyed superbob, American Ultra was fun once it got going but a bit weird.

i have this coming down the pan oceanic info pipes.

Videodrome is one of my favourite movies...its too bad he moved away from bodyhorror but I guess he said what he had to say :)

Dead ringers is superb too.
