+<p>
+I'd like to call myself a Dune fan, but I am not.
+I have finished my Dune adventure on <i>Heretics</i> and only now am I planning to finish the saga<sup><a id="fnr.1" class="footref" href="#fn.1" role="doc-backlink">1</a></sup>
+Though, I think this still puts me well above most people calling themselves fans now.
+I loved eveything I've read, but I have never reached the end.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>Dune: Part 1</i> is the second movie based on the 1956 Frank Herbert's classic SciFi epic.
+Well, it is not.
+It is the third attempt to show the first half of the book.
+There was the David Lynch verion (which I adore) and there was a TV Series.
+There were also games, but only two of those have any resemblance to the plot of the book.
+So yeah, Dune was considered impossible to transfer to any other medium.
+Sadly, I still have to agree.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I think everybody (and their dogs) know what <i>Dune</i> is about but:
+<i>Dune</i> is a story of distant future, where all powerful houses rule the known universe.
+The technological progress was halted thousands of years ago, after a thinking machines raged a war against humanity.
+After their defeat it was forbidden to create such machines.
+Arrakis (aka Dune) is a sand planet, the only known source of <i>Spice</i> - a narcotic allowing humans to traverse time, and therefore spaceflight.
+Spaceships are operated by mutated humans, who after exposure to Spice can see into the future and steer the ships.
+Now, the Emperor orders the control of the planet to be shifted to th House of Atreides.
+The previous stewards, House of Harkonen will not make it any easier.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Ignoring the mutants, this sounds like a run-of-the-mill SF series.
+But <i>Dune</i> It is also story of social engineering spanning millennia, of false prophets, and a million other crazy things.
+The first book keeps it <i>almost</i> sane, but there is a significant dictionary attached, and the first time reader will need to use it extensively.
+Later the saga goes completely off the rails.
+We'll get back to this.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note, that <i>Frank Herbert</i> wrote only the first few books.
+After his death, his son - <i>Brian Herbet</i> took over and wrote dozens of other ones.
+The quality differs significantly, as I've been told.
+I've read the <i>Houses</i> trilogy, and it was quite nice.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Now that we've got the introduction out of the way, let's go to the movie.
+Let me start with saying that I adore it.
+It's not what I'd want (as the young vloggers say "hear me out"), but at face value it's as close to perfect SF movie as they go.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>Dune: Part 1</i> is directed by Denis Vileneuve, who previously directed some of the greatest SF movies of this century - <i>Arrival</i> and <i>Blade Runner 2049</i>.
+His other movies are also amazing (I can't recommend <i>Enemy</i> enough), so I was pretty stoked when it was announced that he will direct <i>Dune</i>.
+I am no longer a movie buff<sup><a id="fnr.2" class="footref" href="#fn.2" role="doc-backlink">2</a></sup>, but he may very well be my favorite living director.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Technically, I can not find any fault with the movie.
+The story makes sense (I'll return to Lynch in a second), which by itself is an achievement.
+The acting is superb, and works as a reminder that TV series are still not on the level of the greatest movies.
+The special effects are astounding<sup><a id="fnr.3" class="footref" href="#fn.3" role="doc-backlink">3</a></sup>.
+The music is, for the most part, at least great.
+I hated the main theme with screaming lady.
+Music is supposed to work with the movie, not to hide it with loud noises!
+But that's the only thing I disliked.
+</p>
+
+<div class="img-c" id="org4b4946e">
+<p>
+Jessicas portrayal is amazing.

+
+<div class="img-c" id="orgbd2cdf4">
+<p>
+Have mentioned how amazing this movie looks?
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>
+I loved the tempo of this movie, as I never enjoyed action-packed shoot fests of the <i>other franchise dominating cinema for decades</i>.
+Everything is slow - the actors speak slowly, the scene have time to breath, the camera is moving on a low gear.
+Even things fall down slowly!
+This adds an amazing dream-like feeling to most scenes.
+Sometimes I felt like I'm watching a <i>Tarkovsky</i> movie and not a big budget Hollywood blockbuster.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+And this the greatest and worst thing here.
+It's meditative.
+You feel like yoy are in a trance.
+You fully buy accept you see here.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But the world of Dune is weird.
+It is full of things that make you go "huh?".
+It has mutants who traverse time, but it also got mutants who are computers.
+There are reanimated corpses, living furniture, hollow planets, vision quests.
+Denis omitted everything that was not essential to the plot, and what he left, he grounded in reality by omitting the <i>wtf</i>.
+There are not even the crazy names!
+Some strange things he left, but they are shown without explanation.
+It's just there, without any context.
+But, to be fair - context would only add confusion.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But this is where <i>Lynchs</i> version shines.
+It makes little sense, it is rushed - sure.
+But it conveys how twisted the world is.
+It's not a trace, it's a full on narcotic trip straight out of some hippie story.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+And this is why I don't think that this movie is a <i>great</i> adaptation of Dune.
+It is a <i>great</i> movie on its own.
+It perfectly adapts the adaptable and pretends that there is nothing else.
+It makes <i>Dune: Part 1</i> the hit that it is, and it allowed us to get <i>Part 2</i>.
+But since making this move appeal to mass audience is not my problem, I'd like to see the full picture.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It'd also like to see the world less cold.
+The architecture is devoid of heart, it's brutalistic.
+It looks amazing (I think I mentioned that), but the crazy colors and abstract layouts we see in Lynch version is something else.
+It's a Vileneuve style.
+It looks exactly like his previous movies - it's controlled, clean, <i>cold</i>.
+As much as I loved it in his other works, I'm not sure if it fits the degenerate houses we meet.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But that's just me.
+As it stands, this is a groundbreaking movie which makes me want more.
+Not only more of <i>Dune</i> but more of serious, intelligent SciFi movies.
+We had those and may get more!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It's better in any conceivable way compared to all previous attempts at adapting the source material, and I think all my nitpicks are kina moot.
+It fits 2024 esthetic and it's crazy intelligent.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Highest recommendation from me.
+4.75/4
+</p>
+
+<p>
+And, hey!
+Sardukars no longer look like welders!

+<p>
+There was a time when <i>Patlabor</i> was an established name.
+It was huge, it had <i>Mamoru Oshii</i>.
+Now, sadly, it's mostly forgotten.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>Patlabor: The Movie</i> is the first from the universe.
+I'll cover the following two soon, as this is my rewatch after decades.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The story takes place in the distant future of 1999.
+Manual labor is aided by Labors, huge exoskeletons.
+Tokyo is undergoing a huge project, where old suburbs are demolished and artificial island are created on the coast.
+Some Labors are going berserk, destroying everything on their paths despite being unmanned.

+<p>
+&#x2026;It brings on many changes
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>
+Let's start with the visual feast.
+The movie looks stunning!
+Yes, later movies from IG top what we see here, and sometimes the faces may look weird.
+It's not perfect.
+But if we would simply tell ourselves that this style of animations is the peak and let's just try to maintain the quality, I'd be more than happy.
+The way this 35-year-old movie looks is a testament to the power of manual drawings.
+The design, the camera work, the coloring - I loved every second.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Another cute thing I've noticed: <i>The Movie</i> is an Oshii-type of movie.
+It came in this short period, where <i>anime</i> was treating western culture as something alien and cool.
+We're seeing this in Jin-Roh, Evangelion, GITS, and many others.
+Here we've got the Bible.
+</p>
+
+<div class="img-c" id="org6cda558">
+<p>
+For a mecha anime, we've got a lot of people talking in different rooms
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>
+But this also shows the biggest problem of <i>Patlabor: The Movie</i>: it is shallow.
+On surface level, we've got everything one could ever want: Unabomber-style genius on a quest to stop progress at all cost.
+We're seeing how <i>old</i> is discarded in the name of progress.
+We've also got a huge computer system which is maintained without deep understanding of how it works.
+Basically, 1999 is like 2024.
+But none of this is really developed.
+The main characters never stop and think, that maybe the world is not going the best route?
+Eiichi Hoba, the aforementioned Unabomber, is just a plot device: the viewer is also never confronted with his viewpoint.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As it stands, <i>The Movie's</i> story is disjointed:
+on one side we've got the real and interesting question.
+On the other, no one looks for answers and just accepts the risks of unconstrained growth.
+But maybe this was the point?
+We're seeing the same today: the world is ending, and most people are racing to be the last one to shut down the lights.
+It is scary how believable this is.
+Even the main threat is solved by a software rollback&#x2026;
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>Patlabor: The Movie</i> is good on its own, but it suffers from being the proto Ghost in the Shell.
+It's not near as good, nor is it as good as its sequel.
+But taking it at face value is really solid.
+I had huge fun rewatching it, but left unsatisfied for sophisticated sociopsychological treat Oshii is known for.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+My rating is 3.75/10

+It's a stain of my honor - I am a Pole, but I've never read The Saga.
+It's not that I've never read any of The Witcher, but somehow I always stopped after the short stories.
+Last year I've decided to finally fix this.
+I am a proud nerd for crying out loud!

+The classic cover
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>
+<i>Time of Contempt</i> is the second part of The Witcher Saga, but it's also the 4th book about Geralt and his world.
+Let's ignore the short stories for a second and let's talk about this book in context of The Saga.
+Here it suffers from being the middle child: Andrzej is developing the characters and story, but it lacks a impactful begging and an end.
+I haven't felt like that after finishing the <i>Blood of Elves,</i> as it had a <i>begging</i> and the ending was emotional.
+Geralt reunited with Ciri.
+The story is clearly not over, but we have a kind of closure.
+We know she is safe and ready for what's coming next.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Here?
+Here we have no beginning as it follows the last book.
+It was to be expected.
+But I fail to notice anything new created here.
+Yes, we've got <i>amazing</i> development of Ciri (I can't wait what how her blood heritage will screw over everyone), but nothing more.
+It just moves from scene to scene<sup><a id="fnr.4" class="footref" href="#fn.4" role="doc-backlink">4</a></sup>, not spending any meaningful time anywhere.
+After 300 pages of this, it ends with Ciri joining some random group.
+I guess I will get to know them in <i>Baptism of Fire</i>, but I am not yet there.
+Are they good?
+Are they cool?
+Who the hell they even are?
+For me it was a huge let down.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But the biggest thing missing in The Saga is humour.
+Both, <i>Sword of Destiny</i> and <i>Last Wish</i> were hilarious.
+It was not on Pratchett's level of humor, but Geralt was amazing when it came to deadpan.
+Moreover, I have no idea how well it translated to other languages, as it was based on Polish humour, but:
+the books were written for Polish reader who was expected to know <i>Szewczyk Dratewka,</i> and therefore the way Geralt dealt with dragon was a funny refernce.
+But this aspect is now completely missingm<sup><a id="fnr.5" class="footref" href="#fn.5" role="doc-backlink">5</a></sup>, but it was what made the short stories for me.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The biggest problem for me however was the fact I saw two seasons of The Witcher TV Series<sup><a id="fnr.6" class="footref" href="#fn.6" role="doc-backlink">6</a></sup>.
+It was terrible and had nothing to do with the book (luckily for me!), but the TV versions of Ciri and Yennefer were irritating at best.
+Their book counterparts are not like that - Ciri is extremely cool and Yen is, well, not so bad - but the visual image is etched in my brain.
+I finally start to have a separate personnas for them, but it was difficult.
+Yes, to some extent Netflix ruined the books for me.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I was never a fan of <i>fantasy</i>, as I always preferred <i>SciFi</i>.
+Give me a blaster or give me death<sup><a id="fnr.7" class="footref" href="#fn.7" role="doc-backlink">7</a></sup>!
+If I found <i>Time of Contempt</i> as a random book, I would not care for the rest of the series.
+It was ok, but nothing to write home about.
+Sapkowski has a great style and I very much want more, but he has not told anything interesting here.
+I will continue reading The Witcher, but mostly because it <b>is</b> The Witcher.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I liked reading <i>Blood of Elves</i> much more.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I give it 3.5/5.

+<i>Persona 5</i> took me close to a year&#x2026; I think.
+It was a gigantic game with unbelievable amount of dialogue.
+It was also game I deeply enjoyed, despite not particularly liking anything about.
+The story was ok, the gameplay was ok, the RPG element was ok, the dating was ok.
+But, somehow, authors managed to join that into one freaking nice experience.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>Persona 5: Strikers</i> is none of those things.
+It's a linear button masher with characters I like.
+But it has <i>none</i> of the good elements of <i>P5</i>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+First, it's not an jRPG anymore.
+When fight starts, you are presented with dozens of enemies you need to fight in real time.
+Half of the time, I had no idea what was going on.
+Fights, for me, are terrible.
+Enemies were everywhere, and I had no <i>chance</i> to control the battlefield.
+Lots of annoyances and finger pain, but no enjoyment.
+Just running into random spots, bashing melee attacks and checking for weakness from time to time.
+I play on easy and was tired of that very quickly, I can't imagine having any actual problems with this system you have no enjoyment with.

+<p>
+Guess the only way here is to shut my brain down, as it's useless in all this chaos.

+<p>
+The real-world activities are almost none-existent.
+I loved how the Phantom Thieves bonded and became friends.
+None of this here.
+You've got some dialogue, but no payoff.
+There is some stat related to bonding, but we all know each other.
+In P5 the single best part was learning about each other and seeing how their lives improve.
+None of that is here.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Dating?
+None.
+And my chosen love interest from <i>P5</i> doesn't even show up!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Extracurricular activities are limited to finding stuff on maps.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Getting to know Tokyo?
+Nope. Every few hours we move to a new city.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Story? Well, I gave up before it started.
+After 10 hours, midway through the third jail I gave up.
+I had to guard Futaba <i>again</i> and after a moment became so frustrated and bored, that I stopped playing.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I give 2/5 for those 10 hours.
+Maybe it gets better later on, but I don't care enough.
+I dropped the game and will never return.

+Fun fact: I remembered close to nothing about this movie back.
+When I was watching the first, everything seems familiar.
+Here?
+Not so much.
+Guess <i>Polsat</i> consider the second one too expensive for regular broadcast.
+</p>
+
+
+<p>
+In <i>Lawnmawer Man<sup><a id="fnr.8" class="footref" href="#fn.8" role="doc-backlink">8</a></sup></i> we meet Jobe, now a genius being living in the cyberspace.
+But not so much, because in the first few minutes of <i>Lawmnower Man 2</i> we learn that he has not left his meatsuit for the cyberspace.
+The explosion at the lab left him an amputee.
+But his talents are now in use of the Evil Corporation designing the future of cyberspace.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Of course, Jobe wants the cyberspace for himself.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The general plot seems similar to the first one, but they are very much different.
+The plot is much more complex, there are many more explosions and I think it makes much less sense than the first one.
+I would rate it at 2/5.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But the biggest difference is that this movie is target towards certain audience.

+I've read that the director was locked out of the editing room as he was trying to make a different movie.
+The producers said a firm "no" and made <i>Lawmower Man 2</i> close to the likes of <i>Goonies</i>, <i>Explorers</i> or <i>Flight of the Navigator</i>.
+It never reaches the coolness of those, but it tries.
+A lot of people on the interweb bash the movie on logical problems or being goofy.
+Yes - occasionally the plot makes so little sense that they needed to add voice over explaining why the hell the <i>gang</i> is going where they are going.
+Yes, it has a dog who saves the day.
+38 years old me was not amused, but the 10-year-old inside me screamed "yeah! Radical!".

+<p>
+Back in the glorious 90s, when kids still enjoyed linear TV, we had <i>Polsat</i>.
+In the post-communist Poland, this was the first <i>western</i> TV station.
+Filled with western movies, and western series<sup><a id="fnr.9" class="footref" href="#fn.9" role="doc-backlink">9</a></sup>
+Among those, there were constant replays of <i>The Lawnmower Man</i><sup><a id="fnr.10" class="footref" href="#fn.10" role="doc-backlink">10</a></sup>
+I watched it on every occasion and loved it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Now, 30 years later it is time for a rewatch.
+No cyberpunk deep dive can be considered a good one without <i>The Lawnmower Man</i>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>The Lawnmower Man</i> is a movie about a disabled lawnmower man, Jobe, who, with the usage of virtual reality, becomes a genius.
+Soon after, an Evil Company, stars secretly giving him drugs contracted by the military.
+And as result, he starts exhibiting mind reading abilities and telekinesis (because, obviously, why not?).
+We've got the (popular at the time) subtext about the dangers of corporates who, without supervision, play God.
+Somehow we stopped doing that, and now we've got Altman killing humanity with the clap of happy crowd.
+<i>Lawmower Man</i> is a movie about a great technology twisted by corporate overlords.
+Fitting.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Jobe becomes a psychic, genius killer (like every mad genius), who decides to take over the cyberspace.
+</p>
+
+<div class="img-c" id="org437b000">
+<p>
+Remember when huge companies were scary?
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>
+The movie was initially released as a <i>Stephen King</i> movie.
+King, however, sued the producers, as the movie has nothing to do the short story of the same name.
+And he won, because it was based on original script called <i>CyberGod</i>.
+Damn, I miss <i>cyber</i> sounding cool.
+They should have the original name, instead of forcing King on everyone.
+And yes, I know King was the king back then.

+<p>
+That's one way to save your neck from Apple Vision
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>
+The movie is we have here is a much dumbed down version of <i>Flowers for Algeron</i>, which I intend to finally read.
+I don't think anyone ever called it a <i>good</i> movie, and for a good reason.
+It's cool, it's got great cyberspace CGI, it's got Pierce Brosnan.
+It also has an opening scene with a monkey using a gun, so yeah.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Story-wise is as straight forward as it gets.
+The first half is full of sweet shots of grass and sexualization of a lawnmower.
+And the most awkward sex scene I've seen in ages&#x2026; or two.
+Then, through a heavy-handed comment about religion and corporations we go the killing part.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This movie fails as horror (there is not even blood or any scare here), and fails as morality play (it's not smart enough).
+But it is a testament to the glorious time, when <i>cyberspace</i> was magical and full of potential.
+We sure deserve more of that.

+Ah, and some text based game where you are a cute "@".
+<i>Of course</i> I like Pratchett.

+
+<p>
+I started reading him <i>years</i> ago in the only way acceptable - chronological<sup><a id="fnr.12" class="footref" href="#fn.12" role="doc-backlink">12</a></sup>.
+And I had a few years long pause.
+Now, after a series of reading <i>only</i> technical books I am returning to fiction.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i><a href="https://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/books/interesting-times/">Interesting Times</a></i> is an ok-level Pratchett book.
+It's not close to his best, it's not close to his worst<sup><a id="fnr.13" class="footref" href="#fn.13" role="doc-backlink">13</a></sup>.

+The problem is that there is not much more.
+We've got a lot of Chinese things, which is new.
+But the story itself is extremely straight-forward.
+Nothing memorable happens.
+I finished it 2 days ago, and already I would have a problem recollecting any standing out moment.
+I still remember moments from other <i>Discworld</i> books a decade after I read them!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But Terry's writing makes me not care and just enjoy the journey.
+He is able to make a boring story interesting, and his characters are always great.
+I was reading the book while putting my son to sleep, and I almost gave him a heart attack with a laughter attack.
+This alone makes it worth it!

+
+<p>
+Not the best place to start with <i><i>Discworld</i></i> (the best is, of course, <i>Colour of Magic</i>) but as n-th book in the series it's very enjoyable.

+<p>
+I ue my descend into American cyberpunk cinema<sup><a id="fnr.15" class="footref" href="#fn.15" role="doc-backlink">15</a></sup>.
+I spent my formative years watching <i>Anime, art house</i> and ignoring most of USA movies.
+This means I haven't watched a lot of the <i>cult</i> movies out there.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>Hardware</i> is a 1990 movie about a killer robot in a post-nuclear world.
+Think of a mix of Terminator, Aliens and Short Circuit.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I heard of this movie years ago, but it seemed to be noting more than a cash grab after the success of <i>Terminator</i> - a movie which I  don't partially enjoy.
+After watching, I have to say that there was a of true in this assumption.
+But somehow I ended enjoying <i>Hardware</i> much more.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Not that the story is better - if anything, it is much simpler, or just plain <i>simplistic</i>.
+Say what you will about <i>Terminator</i>, but the basic premise was great.
+<i>Hardware</i> on the other hand doesn't offer a great idea.
+This is a straight movie about a killer robot.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+However, I enjoyed it more, as it is much closer to what <i>Alien<sup><a id="fnr.16" class="footref" href="#fn.16" role="doc-backlink">16</a></sup></i> achieved
+The entire action is encapsulated in only a few, closed locations.
+Half of the runtime is spent in a single apartment, where the <i>Mark-13</i> robot shows up from to time a try to murder someone.
+Much like the <i>Nostromo</i>!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This allowed the movie to be <b>stunning</b> visually.
+I loved every frame here!
+I know that most of the effect is based on fog and lighting, but I dig it!
+Just take a look at the gallery below.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Another thing which reminded me of <i>Alien</i> is how they handled the special effects of the <i>monster</i>.
+We see very little of <i>Mark-13</i> - he is often hard to see, covered in darkness.
+From time to time we see his movements, and well.
+Hiding him was clearly a good idea&#x2026; just like with the <i>Xenomorph</i>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+All in all, I enjoyed the movie.
+I'm not calling it one of my favorites, but I enjoyed  every minute of its short runtime.

+The movie <i>looks</i> better than it should.
+It seems that this dumb, little movie got more passion in it than the entire MCU combined.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The problem is that I have no idea what was going on.
+People were dying, cool computer interfaces were shown, but the plot barely connected those scenes together.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It's a classic thriller from early days of personal computing revolution.
+I enjoyed it a lot.
+It is not a <i>good</i> movie, but it is enjoyable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I give it a <code>3.0/5.</code>

+<p>
+Finally, in my series of discovering the roots of cyberpunk in American Cyberpunk I've seen a real gem.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>Colossus</i> is a 1970 movie about a not-so-distant-future where Americans decide that it would be a great idea to give control of their military potential to a computer.
+On paper, it sounds great - a computer has no emotions, so it will not be stopped by petty things, like morality.
+Guess how well that turned out?
+Soon after switching on, Colossus learns about the existence of another such system - The Guardian, in the territory of CCCP.
+</p>
+
+<div class="img-c" id="org9cad79c">
+<p>
+The movie starts with sexy old-comp scenes.
+Fitting, as Control Data Corporation supplied close to 5 million USD in computer equipment.
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<div class="img-c" id="orga90d063">
+<p>
+Sexy!
+Rest of the movie is not as sexy.
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<div class="img-c" id="orgdca0d6f">
+<p>
+Colossus in person.
+</p>
+
+</div>
+<p>
+And then this SciFi thriller stops being so <i>crazy-computer</i> focused, and analyzes <i>crazy-human</i> reaction.
+Colossus starts exhibiting features which were never implemented.
+It<sup><a id="fnr.17" class="footref" href="#fn.17" role="doc-backlink">17</a></sup> starts <i>demanding</i> to be connected with the Guardian, so they can communicate.
+And the scientist decide that it would be a great idea.
+The computers start exchanging data and developing language.
+Still - looks cool, let's see what happens.
+Only after Colossus threatens humans with ICBMs, Forbin (Colossus's creator) starts thinking that maybe this wasn't the best idea.
+</p>
+
+<div class="img-c" id="org8be9690">
+<p>
+At first Colossus communicates only via text.
+Funny, as those screens sound like matrix printers.
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<div class="img-c" id="orgfbc3ef6">
+<p>
+This one as well.
+</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<div class="img-c" id="orge3bcf43">
+<p>
+Because it has a printer!
+It took me half of the movie to get that.
+Guess I'm too millenial for that to be obvious.
+</p>
+
+</div>
+<p>
+The movie is often described as an evil-computer story.
+Colossus is never evil in the movie.
+It does exactly what it was designed to do - to act without mercy.
+The evil ones here are the humans who never stop and think that maybe we are on the verge of the end of humanity.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+So yeah, it's an movie about Altman.
+We may have destroyed the civilization, but at lest we made a cool program which does things.
+No one know what those things are, but those are details you should not worry about.
+</p>
+
+
+<p>
+Story wise, <i>Colossus: The Forbin Project</i> holds splendidly.
+Yes, we've got casual alcoholism and the female character exists only to have sex with Forbin<sup><a id="fnr.18" class="footref" href="#fn.18" role="doc-backlink">18</a></sup>.
+But the actual meat of the movie could be a base of an amazing movie today.
+The questions and subject are more relevant now that half a century ago.
+What was a huge <i>what-if</i> scenario becomes a real <i>ok, but how do we stop it</i>.
+The Pentagon is already working on militarization of AI<sup><a id="fnr.19" class="footref" href="#fn.19" role="doc-backlink">19</a></sup>.
+We're pretty much screwed already.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The best SciFi is not about giant battles or space travel for space travel sake.
+It's always about humans, a warning for us.
+And the <i>best</i> SciFi is a warning for the next generations, as the threads become more real as years go by.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There is a moment in the movie, where the entire day of Forbin is planned and monitored by an AI.
+What was a horror story, is now what a lot of us <i>expect</i>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>Colossus</i> in a movie version of earlier book of same.
+There are 2 more in the series, and (as I've been told), Aliens make an appearance later on.
+Maybe someday!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As for the movie, I give it a 4.25/5.

-## What is Emacs? {#what-is-emacs}
-
-Emacs is one of the oldest text editors out there.
-Together with Vim, they are the best ways to manipulate text.
-
-However, Emacs is so much more.
-Under the hood it rocks the amazing Emacs Lisp language, which can be easily used to adjust virtually any aspect of Emacs to your liking.
-This also allowed Emacs to evolve into the _de facto_ shell we use.
-You can use it as file manager (_dired_), as music player (_emms_), internet browser (_eww_), email client (_mu4e_), RSS reader (_elfeed_), terminal client (_eshell_), and so much more.
-It also is the place where _org-mode_ lives, the single best way to organize your life.

-## GNU Emacs {#gnu-emacs}
-
-Emacs is am _old_ program, which was rewritten multiple times.
-Currently, the most popular version is _GNU Emacs_ available under _GPL License_.
-
-It is _free_ program - which means that only you don't need to pay for it, but you are free to modify and redistiribute it.
-In fact, you are encouraged to.
-
-Current emacs version: **[29.2](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/news/NEWS.29.2)** (2024-01-18). New version is released every few months.
-
-
-## Getting Emacs {#getting-emacs}
-
-Emacs is available on most platforms - Linux, BSD, Mac, even Windows.
-Simply download the version for your OS from [the official website](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) or, even better, compile it from source.
-
-It is also available in all good package managers (pacman, pkg, apt, brew, and so on)
-
-
-## Evil Mode {#evil-mode}
-
-There is a joke, that Emacs is a great operating system, but it lacks a decent text editor.
-If you are afraid of using keyboard shortcuts like "ctrl-x ctrl-s" just to save file, you can install the best Vim mode out there - Evil Mode.
-It supports all the keys and most of the ex-commands.
