I ended up watching Lucy last night, which is a thing I intended to do a long time ago but never got around to and never could quite work up the motivation to put any effort into seeing it.  I didn’t even intend to watch it, I was flipping through selections and actually clicked on something else when I caught Scarlett Johansson’s face out of the corner of my eye, forcing me to go back and figure out what it was.  At that point I knew I was going to watch it if I had never seen it because… well, Scarlett Johansson.  I have to admit she’s a draw, we’re closing in on 15 years I’ve been watching movies because of her.  Anyway, I had meant to see it because people liked it but I was reluctant because I had a hard time getting around the whole 10 percent of your brain stupidity.  I have a really tough time suspending disbelief when they are things that are very clearly myths but purport to be science fact.  So like… the force or radioactive Spiders?  Totally down because the premise is pure fantasy.  But a thing that is based on horseshit that some people believe?  That’s hard.  Anyway, it was pretty solid but really nothing special and the entire time I had some serious issues with the bullshit myth stuff.  Not just the 10% of the brain but like… at one point they talk about how as humans develop they will use more of their brain which will lead to things like being able to control other humans.  But how does that work if we all evolve to use more?  And like… what is the evolutionary advantage of subjugating your own species?  Look, this throw away summer blockbuster really fell down in the science department and I know science, I own a copy of the Omni Future Almanac.  Still, very watchable and Scarlett Johansson straight up murdering dudes is something I am always down with.  Today I want to fuck Scarlett Johansson.
