Overall, do not waste your time with this dull monotone called a movie as it never feels like it is going to end because there is no such thing as a climax within it. Go watch something better instead like "The World's End" or "The Matrix" if you want to see something that deals with machines and the end of the world. I give this movie a 2/10 and that is because of its concept.

I have a personal vendetta against that movie because I had an idea for a movie with a similar concept (a person who's mind is active while there body is not after an accident is given a new chance at life with an android body that he broadcasts his consciousness to), but now I can't make that movie without coming off as a rip-off of this one.

I mean, I'm ok with it. I don't care what religion he is, but yeah...making offensive stereotypes...I mean Garfield is Jewish, so I guess it's kind of ok...but still...ugh! This is why we're not allowed to discuss religion here. It's to confusing.

Eh. I'm not too bothered by it. I make offensive jokes about my religion all the time. If anything, I think it helps combat bigotry associated with my religion, in the sense that it ridicules those stereotypes and people who believe them.

The Invisible Man, a classic Universal Horror film. On Netflix at the moment but leaving soon so I encourage all of you to check it out.

Good story and remarkable special effects for that time period.

In case anyone misses it, here's the funniest part:

For no other reason than.. I have no reason, I'm going to list every move I've never seen. Be prepared for the shock and rage. (I've seen bits and pieces of some of these but not the whole movie)

The Godfather (Not one of them)
Carrie
Goodfellas (Yet I've seen and enjoyed Casino)
Apocalypse Now (The original or the Redux)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
American Graffiti
Frozen

And I'm sure there's a couple others I'm forgetting.

Besides Frozen we are on the same boat.

Better give me a damned cupcake.

I've also never seen any of the Friday the 13th movies or Nightmare on Elm.

I don't like horror movies. I only know about Audition and such because of IFC halloween movie specials.

I'm a pretty huge film nerd and I've never even heard of Fast Times at Ridgemont High or American Graffiti but I can say that The Godfather is painfully overrated. You seriously need to see the original Carrie and Goodfellas though.
