oh scarlett.

finally watched “lucy” last night.

now, don’t get me wrong, i think scarlett johansson is super slurpy,
and i am a huge fan of science, technology and the human brain,
but this movie just leaves me more baffled than most flicks.

so I have 10 questions in my head after watching it;

1. i know k pop and samsung and kia are fantastic products,

but having koreans come up with the best drug in the universe EVER?
perhaps i ought to have more faith in my fellow asians.

2. if the premise of smuggling is to cut someone up and stuffing

things into people’s stomachs is valid, does that mean the best way
to smuggle stuff is to swallow everything?

3. wouldn’t it take people weeks or even months to recover from
minor surgery? if so, then how come we can shove people
into long haul flights immediately after cutting them up?

4. after the super drug kicks in and we’re able to increase

using our brain capacity to 20% overnight, how come we stop
having feelings? if so, is being de-sensitized really worth it?

5. i know that morgan freeman is the host in that fancy science show

on tv, discussing things like the future and creation and other theories,
but taking on THIS role with THAT ending? shame on you, morgan.

6. calling up your mom (who you haven’t contacted in a while)
and saying that you can still remember how the taste of the
breast milk was, is a really, really, really creepy thing to do.

7. having said that, calling the (before mentioned) mom to tell her

that you remember how fuzzy the cat / bunny / dog felt when you
were a baby is acceptable. and a less creepy subject than breast milk.

8. so once we’ve gained 100% brain capacity, then the thing to do
is to sit down and go back in time, right up to when dinosaurs were alive?
how about using it to cure cancer? or how to make yummier pizzas?

9. so the ultimate computer EVER will be accessible through a simple thumbdrive.

i’m sure the people at kingston will be super happy about that.
but why not manifest itself in something cool like those screens in ironman?

10. once we have achieved the ultimate realization,

then the end goal is to be “everywhere”.
yup, just like germs and cat fur blown in the wind. thanks.

oh well, at least there weren’t any aliens involved in the end.

THAT would’ve been the icing on the cake.
