Transcendent Man, a documentary on the life and ideas of Ray Kurzweil, will premiere on April 25 at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in New York City .

Director Barry Ptolemy traveled to five countries and followed Ray Kurzweil for two years, documenting Kurzweil's journey to bring the ideas from his best-selling book The Singularity is Near to a world audience. Ptolemy expertly explores the social and philosophical implications of the transformative changes that Kurzweil predicts and their intertwined promise and peril, in dialogues with world leaders such as Colin Powell; technologists Hugo de Garis, Peter Diamandis, Kevin Warwick, and Dean Kamen; journalists Kevin Kelly and Tom Abate; and luminary Stevie Wonder. Award-winning American composer Philip Glass composed the original theme music, which mirrors the depth and intensity of the film.

I'd maybe watch it if it were the only thing (and I mean only thing) on TV.

Whilst I'm taking a poo....

But, I don't think I'd be comfortable with voiding my bowels in my living room. Maybe I can get a 50" Plasma in the bathroom.

I think a 50" in the bathroom is overkill. I'm thinking like a 19" flat panel.

Televisions in the bathroom = SO MUCH WIN.

My uncle used to have one in the guest bathroom. Until lightning hit his house and all the TVs caught fire at the same time. 8O

well I have a bathroom with a large sized jacuzzi tub and a wall mounted 19" HDTV that has a built in DVD player in it.

If that were true, you'd never leave the bathroom long enough to post here.

You see, when Lando says stuff like that, you know he's full of poop. But when Laurel does, you know you can believe her.

Lando said he has a DVD player there...

Allows him to watch his DVD re-runs of Sex in the City.

Yup. Your secret is out bitch.
