    Hi, everyone! I'm CP. I usually write action-packed, fantasy and sci-fi adventures with humor and heart. I've been querying my RevPit piece, Transcendence, for a while. It's sort of MJ Kuehn's Thieves Duology meets the DnD movie. Firefly vibes, but fantasy-y, if that makes sense! Nice to meet you!

    God forbid they should ever listen to the music of Marvin Gaye or watch the movie Transcendence. Then there was the idiot move of removing photographs of the Enola Gay from the Pentagon. In case there was a question, it's all out in the open now: we are officially a stupid nation.

    I think I've finally found the movie this moment in time feels like to me and it's not Her or 1984, it's Transcendence, the cured and toxic bomb where Johnny Depp plays and abusive AI that torments his innocent wife.

    I don't know if you played The Final Shape but the cinematic when you enter The Traveler and discover Transcendence felt like an arthouse movie to me. And this felt like it went even further in that direction. I love the completely different vibe compared to anything we've from Bungie before

    Als Philosoph habe ich zwar immer darauf hingewiesen, hat aber natürlich niemanden interessiert. Denn im Endeffekt benötigen wir an so vielen Ecken eben neue Lösungsansätze und vor allem einen "richtigen Umgang" mit der KI. Da fällt mir ein, ich sollte mal wieder den Film Transcendence schauen :)

    Wally Pfister was one of the best cinemetographers of the early 2000s, won an Oscar for Inception, then directed the Johnny Depp misfire Transcendence in 2014. Hasn't worked on a movie since. Is he in director jail, or is that his choice? Either way seems like a real loss.

    First is Lucky Them (2013), where Johnny has a small cameo. The other is a sci-fi film that explores very real modern ideas in Transcendence (2014). Regardless, Depp takes on two of his more unique roles in this double feature.

    The song was used in the movie Atomic Blonde along with a lot of other 80s pop hits relevant to the story. Now and then a movie revives an old gem I thought was totally buried - for example, Jorma Kaukonen’s “Genesis” (1974) in the 2014 movie Transcendence m.youtube.com/watch?v=lLXF...

    Now AI has become ubiquitous, I think it's time we revisit the notion raised in the movie "Transcendence". It turned out you don't need to splice human brain, intelligence is just an end-product of big data. Anyway, I cannot imagine AI turning itself off just to spite humanity. Am I right? WDYT?
