In case anyone else hasn't noticed, two of the five nominees for the Golden Globes "Best Film, Drama", of the five Screen Actors' Guild Awards for "Outstanding Performance by the Cast of a Motion Picture", and two of the top predictions for "Best Picture" Oscars are biographies of a mathematician/computer scientist (The Imitation Game/Alan Turing) and a physicist (The Theory of Everything/Stephen Hawking)! Sounds like a big step in that direction - who has local (or global) stories to contribute?
Should you chance it? I dunno - how much of a learning experience do you want? :) - crake [more]
