Comment Does anyone remember the movie "Looker?" (Score 2) 177

This movie was made by Mr. Jurrasic Park himself back in 1980. Basically, this computer company takes scans of real-life models(just like they did in T2), and then the models get plastic surgery from the results.

Then, through the magic of computers, these models are synthesized, and some big thug with a gun kills off the real-life models.

It's a really weird, but worthwhile movie, and the computer graphics are a bit ahead of their time.

This could get interesting. Imagine taking a JPEG of someone, and have some program render a synthesized model to do anything you like. You could make that hand-puppet like in Johnny Mnemonic. fun!
