have mentioned to go see S1m0ne at one point, its one of my favorite films. I
always said that if they ever make a sequel to this move that they should treat
it gently and not water it down but go for the throat of the issues of
intelligence and AI and rights and privacy and media etc....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Memento, with Guy Pearce. Very hard to explain why I think this is
transhumanist. Maybe the exploration of the nature of mind?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think in some way it feels to me as though our normal mental
architecture is broken compared to what we need for real understanding of the
universe, analogous to the way his is for coping with normal life, and our
struggle to overcome feels similar, doomed and heroic and sickly facinating.

things have been tense around here lately. We<BR>should be entitled to a
little fun once in a while,<BR>right? I thought it would be fun to make a
list of our<BR>favorite semi-transhumanist movies. This written<BR>medium
can sometimes be somewhat dry, and difficult to<BR>express and share
positive emotions with each other.<BR>It may sound cheesy, but perhaps by
sharing our<BR>favorite movies, we could more easily recognize some<BR>of
the more fundamental feelings and aspirations<BR>between us. [Maybe we could
also suggest favorite<BR>music pieces, but I'll let that begin on someone
<BR>else's initiative.]<BR><BR>For my contribution, I recommend:<BR><BR>*
Original Director's Cut of "Bladerunner".<BR><BR>You must see the original
Director's Cut or you<BR>haven't seen the movie... sorry :-) Sure, it's a
<BR>dark-future themed movie, and it is slightly cheesy in<BR>a few spots,
but it does have some truly moving and<BR>profound moments, in my opinion. I
fully recommend it,<BR>overall.<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR><BR>Jeffrey Herrlich
