You are what you do, otherwise, you're just you.

Joe Bar said...

Perhaps "Bored" not "Boring."

Enigma said...

See the deflation aspect of "The Boys from Brazil" (1978).

Use automated intelligence - run with Green energy for blight's sake - to crop the modern background and portray historical figures as boring historical persons.

The crawl space under Stalin’s house has a dozen bodies.

I'm always shocked by the utter uniqueness of Abraham Lincoln's face.

Gandhi is depicted driving without a seatbelt, iconoclastic rebel that he was.

Curious George said...

JFK needs to get in the gym.

Who was the Best Buy dude? I recognized the others…

Children of the Revolution (1996) is an Australian movie about Stalin's love child son growing up in the suburbs. Everybody who is anybody, and everybody who is nobody in Australian film is in it. The upshot is that the kid takes after his Dad.

@beasts of England it was Charles Darwin I thought.

I want to love but the AI slop gets in the way. Cleopatra’s a hot white chick, though. Cool…

Narr said...

Nicely done.

Cleopatra looks suspiciously like Liz Taylor, nicht wahr?

narciso said...

Darwin was a wedgewood heir he wouldnt be caught dead at a bestbuy

narciso said...

Yeah cleopatra was greek so way hotter

Harun said...

I want to see Nefertiti

Aggie said...

They might of been more convincing if they had showed Teddy's toothy smile, and made a better effort at Cleopatra.

Beasts of England said...

Geo. W. on the lake drinking a cold one! America!!

Beasts of England said...

Thanks, Amichel - it was Darwin.

Sydney said...

It was worth watching just to see the George Washington depiction!

JaimeRoberto said...

I want to party with Fredrick Douglass.

JFK needs to get in the gym.


He can’t. He has a bad back.

I like that Ayatollah Khamenei has graduated to "historical figure." His pronouns are Was/Were.

Kit Carson said...

wow, that was kinda mind-blowing, a quasi existential moment. and it was done very well. thanks, professor.

narciso said...

And they were mean to the Iron Lady

J Scott said...

I gotta say Roosevelt doesn't really look anything like him. Washington, tough on that one, he had such a prominent nose that doesn't really come through here.
