the big news today is that a hospital in cleveland (cleveland?) has completed the most advanced face transplant in history, the first such operation in the united states, and just the fourth worldwide.

while no one’s talking about it, i think it’s clear that the most important implication of this surgery is that john woo’s legendary face/off film (with travolta and nicholas cage) is now plausible.

it’s always funny seeing which sci fi films become sci fact a couple years later. frankly my money was on star gate, rather than the silliness of face switching. then again, who knows? i might be right, and there may be a ancient egyptian stone portal operating in some colorado military base as-we-speak.
