I recommend this movie to everyone, I think it really talks about what makes us human. Good performances, good score and the sci-fi world of the movie feels too real and not as far as it seems to our reality. It was really underappreciated when it came out, so if you haven't seen it now is the time to make you a favor!

As I head back home from the holidays, this film was mentioned no less than a dozen times this weekend.

Gattaca is what my brother-in-law and I tell each other whenever we're eating holiday food. Can't eat another bite? Gattaca!

It means we save nothing for the return.

It started when we were hiking the Appalachian trail together and was adapted for a variety of other situations when you need to push yourself a little harder.

Thanks for sharing this, I find it so heartwarming! Seems like you have a good relationship with your brother-in-law.

Interesting! I love Jason Mantzoukas, but haven't seen this. I wonder if he was shouting it for similar reasons.

It’s from The League, but I think it’s a reference to “Attica” from Dog Day Afternoon.

Oh, so he's just mixing references because he's a goofy character. Sad. Because I think it could actually work.
