These are fairly old and you may have seen them as they have cult status. These are two of my favs  by Jeunet and Caro:

Delicatessen and City of Lost Children (La ville des enfants perdue).

They have that fantastic Terry Gilliam art deco yet futuristic look about them that he has in both Brasil and 12 Monkeys.

Pedro Almodovar has also done some cracking films.
Wonderful stuff. They have a very interesting decor, kind of child-like/cartoony, yet very lurid in colour and adult in theme.

The only people who are interested in such ideas are people whose own genetics are slag from the gene refinery. I wonder why that is?  ;)


Your assumption makes no sense. Practically every human would love to live longer, have better health, better appearance, be more intelligent ect, as long as there is no serious side effects, something this technology can provide in the future.

And Debussey was born with the worst genes imagineable >:(

  • The US is the laughingstock of the entire world.
Or even for that matter online, I mean recent stuff.

I encounter nothing I REALLY want to see.

Anyone else with this problem?

The movies haven't changed, we're getting older, that's it.

When I was a Teenie I was excited about some movies 1 yr before they even came out, watched everything in the cinema. Also considerin music I knew everything, the charts up and down, all the way MTV generation baby.


Nowadays nothing anymore, I've no clue what's in the charts whatsoever, and go to the cinema maybe twice a year lol. All about getting rich and getting ripped glutes these days, life sucks. :P

That was my point, DB. Kinda like the only people who harp on and on about racial politics are those who feel most disenfranchised or who feel most insecure.  ;)

Regardless, to make it clear, being interested in equivivalent of getting 1 million bucks no-strings-attached (being "enhanced" via genetics or whatever) in the future which can expand ones experience of life dramatically = just being clever.

In response to your post: there are findings that indicates that the shifting demographics (including a decline in the average cognitive abilities ;D ) and political favorization of the "lesser fortunate morons from 85th street" will result in a future world with less opportunities and more "negative elements" for people with enormously high IQ scores, black hair blond hair, brown eyes blue eyes  and overall genetic superiority. Any sane human being employing a long-term timespan "way of thinking" when making plans for the future would base their planning on this assumption, and discussing this + raising awareness around it (like what Mazi is doing) could definitely be a result of a calculated approach to ones own "design of the future" instead of trying to take the edge out of an irrational fear that runs rampant in ones head due to the percieved danger of 85th street hoodlums killing off all the greats from 130th street or above.

 :o

And Debussey = the most insecure person on Getbig. Between daily panic attacks and major depression-episodes (covered up with heroic doses of benzos and SSRI's), Debussey's extremely low confidence results in a lethargic being, bound to a wheelchair, a medium for pain and agony with no prospects for the future.  >:( >:(

I know. But authors tend not to like fans showing up unannounced at their houses. So I've had his website: http://www.perez-reverte.com/Appearances.asp   in my favourites for years, and no farkin' appearances. Maybe, he'll do a few with this movie!?  ???
