"we aren't dealing with ordinary machines here. these are highly complicated pieces of equipment. almost as complicated as living organisms. in some cases, they have been designed by other computers. we don't know exactly how they work."

(Alternate blue version to match the original lake scene’s colour grading below)

There is a certain kind of sadness I felt when I first watched A.I. Artificial Intelligence as a child, and even though I feel like this story is more inspired by elements of the TV series Westworld, I felt that the emotionality of the story matches a lot with A.I.

It’s a beautiful, poignant story that is masterfully written to have the same emotional gravitas that I feel is more commonly achieved through a longer, multi-chaptered fic. For those who are intimidated by longer fics, this is a great, shorter one to read.

I went through six different designs before settling on this one. Abandoned the others because the vibes and intentions were off for me (I felt it was moving towards more Dan-Brown’s-The-Da-Vinci-Code which I felt like did not fit the emotions of the original fic at all). Personally, I think I hit it out of the park, but I also think I got lucky in the end.

The cover is to show Henry during his manufacturing, with the original scene in the movie is of Henry underwater at the Lake House. The curved structure above Henry’s head is meant to be the structure holding the Hosts in the vat when they’re being manufactured (screen captures are from the show’s intro credits). I foregone adding in the structure directly behind/above the Host’s head because I felt it would be too distracting on the actual cover.

The full poster that can be added to the .epub file for your kindle/e-book reader is at the end of the post! If you need any assistance, please don't be afraid to ask!

Idk if this is a controversial opinion but I want a Westworld prequel

And I don’t want it to have the weird twists and timeline things of the original show, I just want a regular ass show looking at the very cool concept they created and then quickly threw away for robot wars

I want to see when they go from those very clearly robot versions we see Robert talking with at one point to the later versions they create like Dolores, I want to see what the park was like with the regular robots and then how it changed when the newer models started filtering in and guests suddenly were faced with a completely different experience

I want to see people go from easily shooting the very fake robots to suddenly having to do the same things with ones that seem totally human and how at first it probably put most people off and seemed like a terrible idea they got close to scrapping until the freaks heard about it and suddenly the park was full of people who want to harmlessly live out violent fantasies and how the workers would probably have mixed feelings about the people they’re suddenly attracting

I want to see them taking the new robots out of the park for marketing campaigns and the problems they ran into, I want to see them building all of the other parks and visiting them, I want to see the first hints of problems from the new hosts

As someone who worked at Disney World, I know very well how behind the scenes can be falling apart while guests have no idea, and I want to see that explored in Westworld, I want to see everything the staff has to do to keep the secret of things falling apart from the guests and I want to see how they got to the point of having all of the extreme protocols and precautions they do

And you can end it with Arnold making all of the hosts kill him and each other only to then be brought back by Robert as well as the new Bernard host, you can lead right into the main show, but I just hate when you get shows or movies with cool concepts and then after 10 minutes it jumps into that concept completely falling apart. I want to see a robot amusement park that’s basically a real life video game and how making that work, or seem to work, happens

I’m a nerd. My favorite movies and TV shows are scifi. I like stories set in the future, but I’m also bored with dystopian societies. But my favorite sci-fi stories involve, time travel, parallel words, and artificial sentience (computers or robots that develop a will of their own).

With that said, today I attended the best movie I’ve seen this year - Mars Express. It’s set in a future where robots of all types are a part of everyday society - mechanical robots, androids, Cyborgs, and augmented humans.

Mars Express is a French animated movie with a well crafted complex story. It is violent and includes references to adult themes (alcoholism and prostitution) so it’s not for kids.

The story starts with a human detective and her robotic partner trying to find a missing girl. Like all good detective stories, the more they dig, the bigger the conspiracy becomes. Did I mention the robot sidekick was once human? He died and his memories were uploaded into a mechanical with a hologram of his head floating above the robot parts.

The robots of this world are bound by Issac Azimov’s first law - they cannot harm humans. But someone has written a program which would wipe this restriction from their programming. What would these synthetic creatures do when they are able to strike back at humans who have enslaved them? The answer will surprise you.

The art design is superb. Certainly it’s been influenced by stories such as Blade Runner or WestWorld, but the story and concept stand on their own. It also has some cool concepts. I particularly liked the futuristic airbags when a car crashes. Not just bags though, the entire cab of the car is instantly fills with foam that get firm, protecting your body from every side. Of course you’re suspended in the foam until robot traffic cops arrive to free you.

I’m one of those people who prefer to see movies at actual theaters. So if Mars Express is playing near you, go see it!

Note: Mars Express has been released in both its original French, and an English dub. (I saw the dub.)

These are just (some of) the ones I’ve seen - I’ll do follow up polls for all the others

I feel like I should say for the record that I wouldn't mind that LOVE LIES BLEEDING goes way off the rails repeatedly if in doing so it hadn't ended up becoming something quite different than it started out. I knew going in that it was going to be some kind of lesbian weightlifting fetish thing where a bodybuilder does too many steroids because her GF thinks it's hot; I didn't appreciate the KStew character's weird biphobic fit, and I wasn't expecting and wasn't wild about the segue into "series of incredibly brutal murders," but I could have dealt with that stuff if the movie had stuck to the original direction in some recognizable way. The problem is that I did not sign on to watch Ed Harris being a creepy old gangster with the universe's most nightmarish wig, just as in BOUND, I didn't sign on for an hour of Joey Pants having a homicidal meltdown while the Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon characters are shoved into the background. In both cases, though, that's what we end up getting, at the expense of those movies' original concepts and, honestly, their primary selling points.

The toxic fetishism stuff in LOVE LIES BLEEDING was nonetheless sort of refreshing in the wake of AMMONITE, because whatever else one might say about LOVE LIES BLEEDING, it is not concerned with bourgeois art house respectability. The thing about AMMONITE that I find obnoxious is that its gray gloomy biopic ambiance seems to exist largely to cover for the film's actual primary appeal, which is seeing Saoirse Ronan fuck Kate Winslet. It's like the opposite of putting your kid's medicine or your dog's pills in a spoonful of peanut butter or applesauce to cover the bitter taste; the film's notoriously explicit central sex scene is surrounded by a lot of rather unappetizing porridge and some weak attempts at historical feminist commentary, because if it weren't, it might be derided as disreputable pulpy smut rather than Oscar-bait Cinéma for affluent white people to discuss afterward over a glass of chardonnay. LOVE LIES BLEEDING is willing to own being disreputable, pulpy, and (for a while) smutty, which is commendable; it would be more commendable if it didn't use that as a segue into the drearier reaches of post-Tarantino crime drama.
