Moral Kombat
As a thoughtful gamer with a family full of gamers, and a therapist who studies gaming, I would LOVE to see this film. The trailer is designed to be sensationalistic.

However I'm wondering if giving her your pot every night after she cleans the kitchen is the best way to accomplish -
The Dance of Consciousness
We should reject the idea that the mind is something inside of us that is basically matter of just a calculating machine. There are different reasons to reject this.
