The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water

On this grey and depressing morning I thought I'd lighten my heart with the trailer for the new and live action Spongebob Movie! Spongebob Square Pants is a great cartoon; I love that their town is called bikini bottom, its so inappropriate for kids. One of the main plot points of the cartoon is Mr. Krabs (voiced by Clancy Brown, so random) has a secret recipe for Krabby Patties, the most wonderful undersea hamburgers ever. Some land lover (not Plankton) has stolen the recipe and start a burger joint above water! The gang goes to the surface and hilarity ensues. Watch this trailer and feel happy again; and feel renewed the in mix of cartoon/live action mediums. 

Ex Machina

We can all agree that Sci Fi movies are the best movies. That being said there have been many terrible artificial intelligence themed movies (there should be a list of bad movies here, but I can't think of any). Ex Machina is written by Alex Garland who did 28 Days Later and Sunshine, so the expectations are set extremely high. Here Oscar Isaac is our engineer and Domhnall Gleeson is the dumb fuck who is going to fall in love with a robot which will be humanity's undoing. Alicia Vikander plays a shiny robot. Was it a strategic choice to make the robot a female? Are fem-bots better at lying then man-bots? Was the robot lying at all? These are questions that keep me up at night.
