I always think these movies end being used as instruction manuals.

I knew my first long distance gf on ICQ. I remember also having that service in Miranda IM along Yahoo Chat, MSN, Google Chat (back when it was based on XMPP) and Jabber.

Messages from my current gf are announced with the classic ICQ "Uh-oh!".

Is Threshold worse than Code of Honor?

I'd say it's worst. Being racist is horrible, but it wasn't until "Threshold" that ST became actively and willingly stupid.

If not the most imaginative, certainly the most inspiring, and it evokes a strong insertion in our reality.

Ah, got it. I thought you meant the SciFi (later SyFy) Channel series.

I'll start with the SciFi series when I finish the fantasy one.

Nope. Get as far as you can of the "Earthsea" TV series. LeGuin enragedly denounced that travesty.

It is when the people tends to give more credence to entities that appear sentient and to have agency.

I even spell out okay.

Which is funny, because it originated as an initialism for "Oll Korrekt".

I loved it but now I've mostly replaced it with AIMP.

Many worthy things are difficult.

Steven Spielberg specifically said that he would continue Kubrick vision for the movie. And the Pinocchio discussion Brian Aldiss had was with Kubrick, not with Spielberg.

So be careful not to cut yourself with that edge. You don't seem to be handling it well.

The Kubricking extends beyond The Shining. A. I. is a horrible travesty of the original short story. The author begged him not to do that idiotic retelling of Pinocchio, but Kubrick didn't listen.
