"Out of all the cinematic staples, the so-called “magical negro” is the worst to define and discuss due to it being the mother of all loaded terms. A catch-all phrase used to describe how African-Americans in film tend to be superhuman physically, spiritually or both, it’s currently in the midst of the pop cultural zeitgeist thanks to a crappy song and New Year’s faux-pas. Anytime someone sees a black character used as a story tool in a film — in the case of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Queenie (Taraji P. Henson) originally didn’t exist in Fitzgerald’s story — there is a mild cry of “There! There! I see a magical negro in the distance! Yes! There!” One should wonder why Eric Roth deemed it necessary to suddenly introduce the character as a fra "

"an interesting article from the science section of the new york times; grab a cup of something:http://www.nytimes.c om/2007/08/14/science/14tier.h tml?_r=1&ref=science&p agewanted=print FindingsOur Lives, Controlled From Some Guy’s Couch By JOHN TIERNEYUntil I talked to Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University, it never occurred to me that our universe might be somebody else’s hobby. I hadn’t imagined that the omniscient, omnipotent creator of the heavens and earth could be an advanced version of a guy who spends his weekends building model railroads or overseeing video-game worlds like the Sims. But now it seems quite possible. In fact, if you accept a pretty reasonable assumption of Dr. Bostrom’s, it is almost a mathematical certainty that we are living in someone else’s computer simulation. This simulation would be similar to the one in "

"It was worthy entertainment the whole way through, but the last two parts were merely a very thin storyline from the first ... the first part was THE THE MATRIX, the rest were as eventful as murders of the extras. "

"It might not have been such an empty story 13-14 years ago (did they have the moving picture back then too? lol)--when 'racial equality, etc.' was hard-hitting stuff (just like "we're all part of THE MATRIX" probably doesn't shake anyone as much as it did when first 'revealed') ... heck, it's possible that some writers would burst into spontaneous-ejaculations at seeing Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson in the same frame. The idea of both those actors parenting the same child probably wore them out! leaving them feeling like the job was done after just setting it up.But the writers could have made all the 'finding out things about blood-types and sperm-bank records' more interesting than 'I called a guy up there,' 'I tested my blood-type at school' and even more-interesting than 'I hacked into the labs records while Will Smith (behind a shut door) donated to the bank.'Oh, `93: back when you were a 'hacker' if you coul ...
