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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.

    Thank you.

    *   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
