read the comic surrogates its much more deeper than the movie....its hard to find now
always thought that it was a warning about how net lets us insulate to a point of actually having fear of another human being or fear of embarrasment

I liked it for the action, but plotwise, i found Gamers more of a warning about tech than surrogates..

Nice looking reproductions, though.  This was the Jade Falcon of Aidan Pryde, it stands for all time since.

Yup. Lunar dust is shattered rock fragments from meteoric bombardment. It's also unoxidized - when the Apollo astronauts returned to the LEM and unsuited, they could smell it, like burned gunpowder.

Martian dust is the consequence of aeolian weatering - much finer, rounded particles, and also full of perchlorates that react with water (or vapour) to form toxic chemicals.

With round 1 winding down, my only prediction is now Colorado vs NYR Finals.  Bring on round 2.

I felt like it and Looper were both movies with interesting ideas that rather squandered them by going with fairly generic plots.

agreed and than some
