They had us at the title: AUTOMATA, a movie starring Antonio Banderas

Poster for Automata

Watch the trailer here:

The trailer looks interesting, though we will say  we’ve seen “this kind of thing” before, so we’re a little nervous. We hope it won’t show robots in a negative light (it doesn’t seem to), because we are very pro-bots (man-made, god-made, or whatever-made).

The direction of many of us will be more toward poetry than toward the traditional novel.

 

The Great novels we get in the future are not going to be those that the public thinks it wants, or those that critics demand. They are going to be the kind of novels that interest the novelist. And the novels that interest the novelist are those that have not already been written. They are those that put the greatest demands on him, that require him to operate at the maximum of his intelligence and his talents, and to be true to the particularities of his own vocation. The direction of many of us will be more toward poetry than toward the traditional novel.” 

– Flannery O’Connor, The Grotesque in Southern Fiction. Bold face mine.

Novels ain’t nothin’ but a thang.

We also love how she mentions Vulcan. It’s very important to pay respects.
