Have you seen Mirage yet? As you know, I like high-minded, but low budget science fiction films. This surely fits the bill. Netflix advertises it as a cross between Doctor Who and The Butterfly Effect, which got my attention! Well, the film was as bad as you might think, but the story and script are fascinating. I'm also curious what could have been done by the writer/director/editor to improve it. Interestingly, Anurag Kashyap remade and adapted it for Indian audiences as Dobaaraa, but I haven't had time to see that yet. Anyway, super interesting film when you consciously ignore all the things that don't make any sense! In other words, popcorn chewing, B movie madness... Viriditas (talk) 23:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Viriditas: - Thanks for suggesting the Mirage film - IMDb rates the film as 7.4/10 - seems interesting - yes - we enjoy thoughtful sci-fi of course - may take a look at the next opportunity - Thanks again - and - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 23:24, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Just keep in mind you will figure out the entire film plot within the first five minutes. I know I did. Viriditas (talk) 23:30, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
@Viriditas: (and others) - Thanks for suggesting the "Mirage (SP,2018-7.4/10)" film - yes - interesting (and thoughtful) view of course - for some reason - reminded of several older films, including "Open Your Eyes (SP,1997-7.7)", "Timecrimes (SP,2007-7.1)", "Coherence (US,2013-7.2)" and "Primer (US,2004-6.7)" - Thanks again for the suggestion - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 03:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Good eye, doc. You never cease to impress me with your penetrating insight. I'm picturing an all-seeing-eye coming out of your forehead. It only occurred to me the next day that the director was trying to share his love of cinema with the audience with homages throughout the film, scenes I didn't really pickup on until I had time to think about. I think the latter part of the climax, with the jumping off of the building, was supposed to be reminiscent of Open Your Eyes. You're way ahead of me, doc. At least give me time to catch up... Viriditas (talk) 08:47, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Viriditas: - Thanks for your comments - yes - noticed the jumping-off similarities at the time of viewing - both films are Spanish sci-fi, a notion which may have been somewhat at play I would think - iac - Thanks again - and - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 12:09, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Book "How Life Works" (2024) worth considering?
@Viriditas: (and others) - A review by scientist Denis Noble of a new book entitled "How Life Works: A User’s Guide to the New Biology" (2024) by Philip Ball (editor of the journal Nature) may be worth considering?[1] - iac - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 12:18, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

- Having already added the book at Philip Ball, I came across this, and have also added this reference. But I also saw that you had created How Life Works as a redirect to Life. Do you still feel that is a good idea? Incidentally, my edition (Piccadilly) gives the date of the US and UK editions as 2023. PJTraill (talk) 20:39, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
"Viatris"
Hi Drbogdan. I wonder if you could take a look at my recent edit request posted at Talk:Viatris#Update_History_section. You must scroll down a bit because I inadvertently left out a new heading for the new request. Thanks again, PittGuy123ABC (talk) 16:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- @PittGuy123ABC: - very busy atm with other interests (including real-world ones) - nonetheless - would prefer comments from other editors about all this - to better understand the current WP:CONSENSUS - hope this helps in some way - iac - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 16:54, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
