I'll admit, if you set aside the Hollywood hyperbole regarding robotics, I.A. Artificial Intelligence, the movie actually offers a pretty grounded vision of the future. You see those twisting skyscrapers necessitated by extreme height, screens embedded in every surface, subterranean transit networks, self-driving electric cars—or maybe hydrogen, who knows—and that pervasive, all-encompassing digital connectivity.
Children of Men presents a similarly compelling vision, though personally, I find its depiction much more relatable. The terrorism they show isn't even fiction anymore; it’s already started. 😉

Just hit the Print Screen (Prt Scrn) key—it’s sitting right to the right of F12, above Insert, and to the left of Scroll Lock. Then, just open Paint, go to Edit -> Paste, and there you have it. 🙂 There are also some dedicated (free) programs out there specifically for this.

Well, give me another month and I'll be right there with you! 👍
So, this is actually the second time in my life I've opted for soft contact lenses. Right now, I'm still in that adjustment phase—my eyes are constantly watering and my vision is a bit of a blur 🙂, but I’m confident things will smooth out soon. Dealing with contacts is a bit like learning to drive a manual transmission; you just have to get used to the feel of it. With enough practice, I'm sure it won't be nearly as much of a struggle as it was the first time. 👍
😂 , you really should have asked, "have you ever seen an incredibly good trailer for an actually great movie?" Take >. When I saw the trailer, I was expecting this epic, climactic showdown, but because they drag everything out so much, I find myself just waiting for the end—waiting for that "final great fight"—only for it to suddenly go thud and be over. 😠 BTW, I nearly lost it when the line started, "if things go south, shove a die up my... (I could hear all sorts of jokes in the theater, even some kid next to me whispered <ass>)... chest" (and everyone went "awww"). 😂
http://www.hitmanmovie.com/ Judging by the trailer, the lead actor doesn't quite capture the essence of 47. Honestly, if he just ditched the eyebrow, we might actually be getting somewhere here. 🤔 😁
🙂 , I never felt the urge, and honestly, it seems pretty foolish to me. I’ve been in plenty of situations where I could have easily stolen things like it was nothing. For instance, you go into a shop to grab an ice cream, and the freezer is tucked away in some corner where the cashier doesn't stand a chance of seeing you—plus, I had a coat on with veeeeery deep pockets😁 , 🙂
On a different note: I once watched this group of kids working in perfect sync. One kid buys a pack of gum and starts chatting with the cashier about how her daughter is doing, while the others stay out of sight, grabbing everything they can get their hands on from the other three. 😲

And I suppose this is your idea of peak cinema—maybe you think movies like "Junfer at Forty" are masterpieces, or perhaps you're more the type who lives for Chuck Norris, Van Damme, Segal, or any other similar actor (as long as it's a low-budget action flick you'd see on basic cable) watching them break bones and take down "villains." Sigh. 🙄
A little joke for you: Why is God called God? -Because the name Chuck Norris was already taken.
