Gordo Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 I'm enjoying the sci-fi show Electric Dreams on Amazon Prime. "A sci-fi anthology series with stand-alone episodes based on the works of Philip K. Dick." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Pomerleau Posted April 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Thanks Gordo, I'll check it out. My wife and I recently enjoyed the time travel movie Predestination. https://youtu.be/xxG-YfedrfU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4693358/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_otherlife Otherlife was good, never heard of it until Prime recommended it last night. Here's a really strange thing about it, the "villain" is named Sam and he looks a LOT like Sam Altman. I thought it was an intentional joke sort of thing, then I found out this movie came out in 2017, Sam Altman didn't become CEO of OpenAI until 2019, I don't think he was on anyone's radar in 2017, much less being cast as the villain of AI back then. Things that make you wonder 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Pomerleau Posted October 16 Author Report Share Posted October 16 It looks like my kind of movie. I'll try to convince my wife to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
