Movie Rating Watch

I quite enjoyed the first Lego movie (Lego being an integral part of my childhood), even if I wasn't sure about the 'real world' aspects of it.

I also quite like the enjoyed The Lego Batman movie ('I only build in black, or sometimes very dark gray'), and had no interest in the Lego Ninjago movie.

I thought I would enjoy this more than I did. I'm not sure why: maybe it's the increased 'real world' aspects, maybe its the fact that the gags didn't seem to have such a high hit rate as before, but whatever it was...

In this moment when we are witnessing the evolution of virtual reality, I find Baudrillard’s classic work of semiotics especially relevant. It has been hugely influential for me as a basis from which to explore important concepts and ethics around what our relationship with art and meaning will become. In the future, we will increasingly view the world through representations of reality, which will become so realistic that our brains could become completely deceived."
