    Sound effects from the 'Six Million Dollar Man' should be the new Wilhelm Scream.

    Considering the world that we have built, can one accomplish what Lydia had, without being the type of person who abuses their power? What (if anything) is sacrificed by taking the considered, moral approach, with every decision you make? What costs are incurred by taking the longer, empathetic road to your goals?

    Tony seems to have the issue sorted though.

    Saw this yesterday, and still thinking about it today. My immediate thoughts about it were centered around human connectedness, with or without the external help that we witnessed.

    This morning, I'm thinking more about the use of liminal spaces, like the empty office and the pool, and the less obvious ones.

    I think all of this is going to be percolating in the back of my head for a long while yet.

    ★★

    The effort behind building the cameras that were used in this film was substantial, and resulted in a fairly unique look. Ultimately their effort, and the potential of the cameras, were wasted on a giant, misogynistic, empty tale.
