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.

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

The brain in a jar film is The Man with Two Brains
