Surrogates: Hmmm … possibly …


You know, I think I’ve had a good evening …


No, I’ll modify that, slightly, we’ve had a good evening!

Because — as you’ve probably noticed — it’s a Tuesday, which, of course means a movie: which was a bit crowded!

Bless, I had had Adrian, Saz, both Kevin’s, and Gwen, Stefan, and their eldest, Kieran!

Who was having a whale of a time on a Nintendo DS … !

But I’ve got to admit, I’m unsure about tonight’s film, though.

And I think I’m speaking for near enough everyone, there.

Tonight’s film … ?

Was the 2009 Bruce Willis film, Surrogates.

Which sees Bruce Willis playing FBI Agent Tom Greer, in a near future that’s sees much of humanity using robotic substitutes of themselves.

Which is an interesting idea, actually: very relevant to today’s world, where people have been known to get addicted to things like Facebook and Second Life.

Hmmm …

Which does get me looking at how I treat my ’net connection, I know that …

•••••

At any rate …

Hmmm …

Well, for starter’s, I’m not going give you a summary of Surrogates: others have done that a lot better than I have.

And it is getting late.

But I think me and the rest of the gang have seen an … interesting film, tonight …

One that’s worth watching, but that’s not sure if it’s an out and out action thriller.

Or an art house sci-fi film with a message about technology.

And has a bit of an abrupt ending …

    I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

    I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

    Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

    Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

    If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

    Thank you.
