I love my prosthetic hip joint so much that I’ll confess, I daydream about having all my other problematic parts replaced. The short section where they had the creature talk, probably using text-to-speech, was not as funny as they seemed to think it was. The central idea of building a man from bionic parts - would it have some sort of life? - is quite silly, though effective for showing just how many parts of the human body can be replaced by machines. On the other hand, the show overuses the concept of Frankenstein’s monster. He doesn’t answer them, but at least he raises them. “Normal bodies are boring.” And, the film does bring in someone to be the voice of ethics, to ask questions about human life extension, whether it’s ok if only the rich can afford bionics, and what we will do when people want to remove undamaged parts to upgrade to bionics. A scientist making bionic ankles reveals that he has two bionic legs and claims he wouldn’t want real ones if a wish could grant them. His reaction when he tries a new prototype is fantastic. The results aren’t completely successful, but as a mainstream introduction into what’s possible in bionics now and coming in the near future, it’s not bad. It’s a strange Smithsonian Channel documentary from 2013: a group of scientists gathered state-of-the art bionic parts and assembled them into a “man”. I know I did.Yesterday I watched The Incredible Bionic Man on Netflix. Every time you find yourself yelling, “Point the camera at Johnny Depp, you heathen!” take a drink. What a time to be alive.Īnd here’s a fun drinking game. The ones who are going to be kidnapping the titular robot in Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie. If you’re wondering who that other special guest is, the one who’s got the cajones to make Johnny Depp wait to start the song because the audience isn’t clapping enough, that’s South African zef rapper Ninja of the band Die Antwoord. So many scarves you guys.Īnd the video above is our newest obsession: Johnny Depp performing at last night’s Marilyn Manson concert at The Roxy in West Hollywood, California.ĭepp dropped by to play - fittingly enough - “Beautiful People”. Shortly after that, in July, he played “Train Kept a-Rollin” live in concert with Aerosmith. He played with Willie Nelson in at least two concerts this year, with Willie introducing him as “Johnny over there playin’ the guitar”. Go to enough concerts, and you just may see Johnny Depp play one song. Johnny Depp is becoming the guitar-playing version of Bill Murray crashing parties.
