Converting movies into man-made DNA brings huge advantages, said Bolot, who points out that the archives of every Hollywood studio, currently taking up square kilometers of floor space, could fit into a Lego brick.
Thinking about the implications of this is really tripping me out. My wife questioned if this means we could begin storing things inside our bodies.

I can't believe no one seems to be talking about this. How is this not a huge leap in tech? It seems like this could redefine how we store data.

Absolutely. But I need to read more about it. I really can't wrap my head around what they're doing, what it means, how to retrieve it, etc.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Ha, watching all those no-name actors so clearly excited for a couple seconds of MTV screen time makes me feel gross. Movie could be really fun, though.
Yeah, it's an intriguing setup, despite Brie Larson's character sounding like a walking cliche. Just need to see some footage to get a sense of what the director is doing visually. Jurassic World has made me cagey.

So that movie The Huntsman has mine and my wife's celebrity "free pass" actress/actor in, so I guess we'll be seeing that.
