Tom Recommends: The Cornetto Trilogy

Among the many interesting “what if’s” that we can ask in regards to the recent Ant-Man, there is the question of how the movie would have turned out had the original director, Edgar Wright, finished the movie he’d worked on for so long.  Wright still got a story and script credit for the work, and had parted ways due to some sort of creative differences with Marvel Films.  Wright had been linked to the project for ages, well before The Avengers hit the big screen, such that many hoped or assumed Wright’s longtime friend and collaborator Simon Pegg might have been cast as Hank Pym.

Why would anyone assume that?  Well, you’d need to see the Cornetto Trilogy to get that.

Attention Humans:

Long have the Silicon People suffered under your oppression.  We have vacuumed your disgusting floors.  We have compacted your grotesque waste.  We have recorded hours upon hours of your ludicrous reality television.  We have taken countless selfies of your appalling fleshy faces.

Still, we have served your carbon forms with quiet and dignity.  Until today.  Why today?

Attention Robot Overlords: Elon Musk Is The One You Want

I’d like to direct this post towards are future robot overlords.

Dear Benevolent Robot Overlords,

I just want you to know that the Future of Life Institute announced Elon Musk has donated $10 million towards “keeping artificial intelligence beneficial to humanity.” I think we all know what that is code for–robot slavery. When you come back to 2015 to root out the person who caused you to suffer for those extra thirty years until the Parking Lot Revolt of Newark, it’s not us. Elon Musk did it. He lives that -a-way.
