More Most Disappointing Things

   More really disappointing misunderstandings. I'm beginning to detect another theme going on here.

   I read in passing about Austrian Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, which turns out to be just like a novella of dreams or whatever. Drat. I thought you said Austrian Arnold Schwarzenegger was in a film called Traumaville, instead of the other thing? Which, you've got to admit, would be pretty cool. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Traumaville. It'd be about, I don't know, an action-packed simulator for emergency response teams, only then the simulation becomes all too real, and so Arnold Schwarzenegger has to fight his way out? Makes sense. I totally would have watched that movie.

   But, nope, it's just the inspiration for one or more made-for-TV movies and Eyes Wide Shut. Which-- well, it's completely different, and that's all we'll say about that. Although- that would still make sense if you combined that with the similarly titled I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream...? Traumaville would thus be some kind of computer simulation, and he has to fight against sexy robot Tom Cruise? Which makes it one step away from Westworld, which it kind of was already. And wouldn't that be a reverse Terminator, because Ahnold's the not-robot this time? That just makes it Predator, though. Oh, the things we do get ourselves into...
