First two involve plugging your brain into a system. The rest involve the end of humanity/end of the world. They really like the apocalypse scenario these days...

It's cause Obama's President...

actually it's cause of all the 2012 BS, add a recession and the asshats in Hollywood think that everyone wants to see apocalyptic depressing BS.

Which of course is partially correct, and partially incorrect. In times like this it is likely that movies with higher spirits would rake in more. People want to escape from reality not be confronted with it when they are attempting to escape from it.

I saw a preview for Gamer, and it's not my type of movie. Something about the lack of free will. Maybe Hollywood is taking its orders from Obama and prepping the entire nation for forced enslavement...

Surrogates really bothers me. With the advancing of video gaming, it's only a matter of time until they invent something around the lines of what the movie portrays. They get everyone plugged into the "game", then just flip a switch to turn everyone off, kill them.

That is some sick psycho shit. When everyone drops like flies in the movie... brings chills down my spine. I know TPTB are just dieing to have something like that in their hands.

TPTB... :: shrugs :: reality is classified...

Anyway, what do you know about their latest crowd dispersal weapons. I thought I heard something about Microwave based weapons, but it seems that after some media coverage it went underground...

Yeah I've heard of the microwave weapons. Apparently it brings a burning sensation in the designated area, which makes people run away.

Never seen it in action though.

Details of US microwave-weapon tests revealed


VOLUNTEERS taking part in tests of the Pentagon's "less-lethal" microwave weapon were banned from wearing glasses or contact lenses due to safety fears. The precautions raise concerns about how safe the Active Denial System (ADS) weapon would be if used in real crowd-control situations.
The ADS fires a 95-gigahertz microwave beam, which is supposed to heat skin and to cause pain but no physical damage (New Scientist, 27 October 2001, p 26). Little information about its effects has been released, but details of tests in 2003 and 2004 were revealed after Edward Hammond, director of the US Sunshine Project - an organisation campaigning against the use of biological and non-lethal weapons - requested them under the Freedom of Information Act.
The tests were carried out at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Two experiments tested pain tolerance levels, while in a third, a "limited military utility assessment", volunteers played the part of rioters or intruders and the ADS was used to drive them away.
The experimenters banned glasses and contact lenses to prevent possible eye damage to the subjects, and in the second and third tests removed any metallic objects such as coins and keys to stop hot spots being created on the skin. They also checked the volunteers' clothes for certain seams, buttons and zips which might also cause hot spots.
The ADS weapon's beam causes pain within 2 to 3 seconds and it becomes intolerable after less than 5 seconds. People's reflex responses to the pain is expected to force them to move out of the beam before their skin can be burnt.
But Neil Davison, co-ordinator of the non-lethal weapons research project at the University of Bradford in the UK, says controlling the amount of radiation received may not be that simple. "How do you ensure that the dose doesn't cross the threshold for permanent damage?" he asks. "What happens if someone in a crowd is unable, for whatever reason, to move away from the beam? Does the weapon cut out to prevent overexposure?"
During the experiments, people playing rioters put up their hands when hit and were given a 15-second cooling-down period before being targeted again. One person suffered a burn in a previous test when the beam was accidentally used on the wrong power setting.
What happens if someone is unable to move away from the beam?



A vehicle-mounted version of ADS called Sheriff could be in service in Iraq in 2006 according to the Department of Defense, and it is also being evaluated by the US Department of Energy for use in defending nuclear facilities. The US marines and police are both working on portable versions, and the US air force is building a system for controlling riots from the air.

In my opinion movies can provide interesting insight into future trends.

So can books, apparently the Saudi's are big Tom Clancy Fans. Though they apparently forgot where the Capitol Building was and ended up hitting the Pentagon...

I remember when my ma' told me about how she would watch futuristic movies when she was young. They were old school black and white, but the technology in the movies were crazy advanced at the time.

She says that the technology portrayed in those old movies exists today. Something to think about, eh?

That's why I say TV shows, and movies especially, condition the mind for what the future brings. Also desensitizes the mind so you don't react properly when a real horrific event occurs in front of your eyes. And when you explain something to people that certain movies portray, you are simply discredited because "it was in a movie".

Those Saw movies.... holy shit. Blood, guts, torture, horror, death, pain, destruction. People love that stuff, it's quite disturbing. Saw has no effect on me though. I watch it and think... "Is this suppose to scare me?". All I see is people suffering, being mentally and physically tortured. How is that entertainment?

I think the U.S have been testing these in iraq for a while already. I will try and find some of em but I believe I seen a bunch of vids of iraqis describing very unusual weapons and their effects. Makes the intimidator factor of a sniper look meak.
