Wowsers. I just watched Gattaca for the very first time.
I don't believe I've ever watched such a profoundly righteous movie in my entire 54 years of life.

Why doesn't somebody TELL me about such things!!!

1. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!
It is righteous, isn't it?

And the reason we don't tell you: there are simply too many things for all of us to remember!

:P


I'm feeling snarky; forgive me, please...

My poem reflects this too.

:hug:

8. We're getting there, aren't we?
Yeah, I like that movie quite a bit.

Another interesting one along those lines is "The Island" with Colin Farrell and Scarlett Johannnannssssonnnsoon... another one that the critics didn't like, but I think there's something there.

12. It was Ewan McGregor

I've always been fascinated by the whole concept of cloning. It brings up so many legal and complex issues. Who would be a clone's legal parents? The person cloned or the person's parents. Is a clone a human being with legal rights just like everyone else? If so then does the clone have the right to inherit half of what the cloned person inherits? If a clone murders the cloned person is that against the law? If a cloned person dies does the clone get everything, including any surviving children?

I love that stuff!
