If you grew up in the 90s, then you probably remember watching Flatliners. The film was directed by Joel Schumacher and starred Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland.
The movie, which opened on August 10, 1990, is about medical students experimenting with death to find what lies beyond.
Based on an urban legend of an alleged military experiment where a U.S. Naval ship completely disappears from radar in 1943, the science fiction film, by Stewart Raffill, was released in U.S. movie theaters on August 3, 1984.
I came across a painting titled "Anna Wedding Dress" of a young petite girl in a wedding dress sitting up on a black leather chair. Her expression is of eagerness as she looks wide-eyed to someone outside the frame. The painting is by American figurative artist Aaron Coberly.
Written by Bob Dylan after touring England, Like a Rolling Stone is considered one of the most influential songs in pop rock. Released on July 20, 1965, the song remained in the U.S. charts for 12 weeks and reached number 2 behind The Beatles' Help.
You can read the Rolling Stone Magazine article on the iconic song HERE.
A painting of a boy wearing a paper beak caught my attention while visiting one of my favorite art blogs, Art Odyssey. The painting is by Australian contemporary artist Rebecca Hastings, who is known for her realistic playful paintings of children.
When I was little, I found myself reading Arthur C. Clarke and then Isaac Asimov stories. One of those books I read in my teens was Asimov's I, Robot.
The book is a collection of science fiction short stories about human interaction with robots in the 21st Century. The book revolves around the Three Rules of Robotics (Asimov's Laws):
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First and Second Law.
Best known for directing The Crow (1994), Alex Proyas brought a film loosely based on Asimov's book, I, Robot. In fact, it would be safe to say the book inspired the screenplay. The film was released on July 16, 2004.
