I wonder if there will be a directors cut of this one? More exposition would certainly fit the franchise.

I don't think we have to wait for high tech to get an Idiocracy.

I read a thing somewhere and lost the link, sorry. And I can't even formulate a search to find it again. The short version is that not everything goes through the spinal cord, there is a secondary nerve link from lower body to upper body. It ties things together without the brain. But the brain is a...

Well, if you recall, the writer for Bionic Woman, Laeta Kalogridis, was one of the first screenwriters offered to take a crack at the Ghost in the Shell script.... Oh, I had not made that connection. Yeah, that's a dead give away. In another thread http://www.neomythos.com/gitsphpBB/viewtopic.php?p...

I'd forgotten this until just now. The attempted reboot of The Bionic Woman. She discovers after a few episodes that she is not version 1 and that at least the one right before her was driven psychotic by the process. Perhaps this is more of a mashup between Robocop and Bionic Woman? It certainly ha...

I think there are a couple of reasons for he change in how expressive the Majors face is. In the original film where she is poker faced I think that may also be a projection of the limit of a full body prosthetic. Even in 2nd Gig, Kuzes face is beautiful but immobile because the artist that made it ...

that scene where Aramaki is obviously about to die and then demonstrates that those sent to kill him are amateurs was great. What I saw I that is that he's not just a great executive, he is a great executive because he rose through the ranks and knows how handle himself on the street. That, and I'd ...

Wow, those SFX are fantastic. After watching Adam Savage visit WETA I'm sorry they didn't get to actually use the practical effects costume or the frame for the shelling, but the outcome I guess shows they made all the right choices. I'm not a motorcycle rider, but that is one cool looking bike. It ...

Ooo, I like that tie in with Blade Runner. On the no ghost side of the argument these days is Scott Adams who uses the phrase "moist robots" to describe humans. He's essentially espousing the clockwork universe view of the world where there is no free will (and consequently no need for a g...

Neuralink. https://www.rt.com/viral/385780-neuralink-brain-interface-urban/ Wow did they ever use an uncanny valley photo of Elon in that article. That's a creeper looking eyeroll if I ever saw one.

Right now we're discussing the new live action movie under in the shell Forum Index -> General ought we move those threads to in the shell Forum Index -> The Films and perhaps update the subject text for in the shell Forum Index -> Stand Alone Complex from "Talk about GitS:SAC here!" to &q...

From what I've seen there are two main colors for robotic "blood". One is red and the other white. And they seem to be anime genre wide and not just the SAC shows where they pick a color more to set a mood than to be terribly detailed. The white blood is frequently used in human shaped rob...
