Dan Jones: "My wife just put on Scorsese's film

Husband, Father, Software Engineer (PHP, go, etc.). Lover of Star Trek and anime.

Looking for other things to do, such as writing, acting, voice acting, but not really finding the time for it. Maybe when my kids are a little older, I'll get back on stage.

Feeling pretty bleak about the future of the United States. #NeverTrump

Feel free to follow. I may follow back if we seem to have similar interests.

My wife just put on Scorsese's film The Irishman.

I'd never seen it before, and wasn't really watching, just sitting with her playing on my phone while she watched it.

But, I look up at the screen for a moment, see this CGI young Joe Pesci, and I'm filled with a deep sense of ick. Like, all the icks.

I let out an audible, ewwwww. My wife asks me what's wrong. I'm like, "this CGI de-aging. The Uncanny Valley. Yuck."

She looked at me like she had no idea what I was talking about.

Do some people just not see Uncanny Valley? I couldn't explain it, besides just ick.
