Great movie! If we have been making films in the last few years that are really worth something, they are invariably about depression and decay. These include Hunt’s “KVCWLHVWDI,” Khlebnikov’s “Arrhythmia,” Zvyagintsev’s “The Return” and “Loveless,” Veledinsky’s “The Geographer Drank His Globe Away”… Well okay, “Election Day” and “Radio Day” seem like pleasant exceptions, but they were made a long time ago, and neither “Quartet I” nor Fomin with Dyachenko have managed it since then.

Here’s an idea for an entirely new market: robot hunting. Take a large space, populate it with one or several SpotMini robots from Boston Dynamics. Charging stations are scattered around the territory, hidden in bushes. The robot is trained to charge itself from these stations and is also programmed to fear humans. It cannot cause harm, although if such a fool hits someone at speed by accident – it won’t be pretty. One team programs the robot: its goal is to survive and not get caught. The other team arms themselves with laser guns and goes hunting. There are options from here: a “shot” from the gun freezes the robot for a second, the number of shots is limited, the number of players is limited – these factors determine the difficulty. Overall, it would take about 2-3 years to wait for the technologies to fully mature.

Here, we have a great way of dealing with mosquitoes: they release specially trained killer mosquitoes. These marry the natural mosquitoes, and then the mosquito female realizes the deception, but – it’s too late, summer is over. Since only males must be released (they don’t bite, and the process relies on the males), they must somehow be selected from the bunch. It turns out, there are specially trained people for this.
