Jars? Good grief, it's like living in the 90s.

Battered at the box office (not that I care as a sort of Johnny Depp fan, so there) but it's time I saw Transcendence - the contemporary brain-in-a-jar film - again. The transhumanists may have their day yet.

Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

All Johnny Depp films feel a bit brain in a jar to me. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I would have preferred him in the Matrix to the  big pretty lump of wood

OK, on that description I still can't tell if you mean Keanu Reeves or Carrie Ann Moss.

Perhaps a dual role for Depp in both roles. The Transgender Block of (Ed) Wood in a Jar
