My "futurefiction," if I manage to inspire myself to write any, will probably
be more dystopian than utopian, because...uh...because just look around at the
world and what it values.
As for "Edge Of Tomorrow," I watched it because someone was over who wanted to
see it but I noticed that although parts of it were well-made I was sitting
there just waiting for it to end so I could go back to my life. Why? Tom
Cruise. Watching *anything* with him in it just isn't something I look forward
to any more. The videos revealing how much of an over-the-top cultist he is
w.r.t. $cientology have rendered him unwatchable for me.

I only saw Amsterdam from the airport which is probably not much of it at all.
I tend to have screenplays in my mind which actually might start
out as more manageable short stories. One idea is stories set in
the "solution" future I have where the economy has been brought
into balance, the government is transcendental socialist which
it's not in your face there to serve the people and there is free
enterprise for the folks who want to run their own small
business. It's a very clean and lean society with plenty of
leisure time. The stories themselves might be more comedy of
errors that just use that future as a setting. But it's a good
way to demonstrate how cool that future could be rather than just
talking in theory.
To try out my new "free" Bluray player on a disc I watched "Edge
of Tomorrow" which I enjoyed because of the humor in it. Features
Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. It also had a fairly plausible idea
about where the aliens came from.
