Whoo, yeah, while I love the Butterfly Effect and teach about it
often, I strongly discourage people from seeing the movie by that
title, as it's pretty darn grim, and not particularly intellectually
stimulating (at all).
Another one I disrecommend is that "Bleep"ing movie, which, aside from
having good production values I thought was utterly vapid and totally
missed the mark, while getting sucked down some quantum wormhole into
a weird new-age timevortex. Or something like that. Funny that Peter
and I disagree on that, as you're usually so spot on, Pete :)
I was wondering when we were going to start going negative on this
topic... figured I might take the lead :)
But for a positive recommendation, I just saw "Click", a surprisingly
engaging Adam Sandler movie about a guy who gets a universal remote
that lets him fast forward his life to see the consequences of his
choices... (but you have to like Adma Sandler, as it is kinda dopey:)

There's a movie called "The Butterfly Effect" which is themed on
that effect. About a guy trying to change his life by changing a

Can anyone think of a movie or scene in a movie that exemplifies
complexity science themes, such as many interacting parts with
emergent patterns, non-linear behaviors, self organizing, etc.
Any thoughts?
