    Fitting, really, to be a dream to meat.

  I really don’t like that version because they just look like us and I don’t think they should. Especially with the part about tongues. It doesn’t really make sense.

  This is the original short story by Terry Bisson that it’s based upon.

  www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/…/thinkingMeat.html

  I don’t know if anyone has done one with CG robots or something, but they should. Bisson must have been inspired by The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem, one of my all-time favorite books. Incidentally, I recently found out that book was an inspiration for Will Wright when he came up with SimCity.

    For what it’s worth, it’s a bit nostalgic seeing that “look” of 90s film making and I grew up sorta near that diner.

    It was a student film as well, and I appreciate how both good and bad the acting is. Why would the one with authority be in a band-leader getup, if not because in their fractured understanding of us it would make sense?

    Dunno, lots of small interesting touches to it.
