Yes, I'm soooooo sick and tired of dank, dripping Blade Runner clones.

Or just a future cityscape where the weather just varied in a realistic way like real cities, gray some days, sunny other ones, rainy on others, snowy still others.

Good question. And how come she isn't wearing a proper hooded mask? Evans wore a mask.

I don't consider it fully genderswapped until all the clothing rules of the original costume are followed. Yeah, that means the dudes have to prance around in the skimpy cheesecake nonsense the gals do now.

Personally I found the future London portrayed in Children of Men believable enough and still quite futuristic, even if not very Bladerunnesque.

Which is a healthy attitude to have, I think. Very unlikely but we'd all be pleasantly surprised it did work.

I think the worse thing we can do to rich people who profited off financial crime and corruption is to take all their money away, throw them in jail and then let them spend the rest of their lives as working class people.

It's just a question of time and improvements in AI. If bees can do this, if birds can do this, if horses can do this, obviously it's not impossible to engineer a visual recognition system to do this.

I not especially concerned about the aesthetic issues. What I'm concerned over is being reliant on a third party company for any of these functions. We can develop protocols that are interoperable and that can render centralized systems unnecessary.

Apparently gouging my eyes out isn't enough. I think I have to bash my skull open with a rock.

Yep. Everyone hates quantum mechanics a little bit, but it was the only way out of a lot problems experiment revealed in classical mechanics and thermodynamics.

NO! PLEASE I BEG YOU! BY ALL THAT'S GOOD AND DECENT TO ALL OF CIVILIZATION PLEASE STOP!

Insanity assumes a shape to do the most damage to each individual mind.

I agree. I'll believe it when we actually have some negative mass or negative energy to actually do this with.

GODZILLA!
