Eh, it wasn’t super critical of the police in context of the distopian society, but the society as a whole was obviously horrific, so I don’t think it needed to be. If you ignore the opening chase and the very end, about half the police shown were corrupt. Anderson was a judge, but she was explicitly trying to do good in the world. She was constantly going against the rigid rules of being a judge and ignoring what she “should” have done as a judge. This was presented as a good thing. The movie ends with her giving up her badge (or at least attempting to). I don’t see the movie as pro police.

It would take one hell of a director but maybe. The descriptions of a lot of things in the book are abstract and weird. Things and ideas are sometimes described as if you are already familiar with them and the world. It would take someone with vision. I’m also worried that if it were done well, it may not have a wide enough appeal to please the execs at the box office.

Apple is making it into a TV show right now, and I’m expecting to be disappointed. Most media has been too Netflixified.

I’m an engineer not a business person, but it sounds like the business itself isn’t worth anything. No sales means I have no reason to believe the IP is financially worth anything. Registering an LLC is pretty cheap. The hardware and filament could maybe be sold for a few grand, but it doesn’t sound like you have a massive print farm or much infrastructure. Sorry to be a downer.

I’ve heard that some people are interested in buying existing companies just so that they can have a company with some tax history. Maybe for slightly sketchy reasons. Almost like some people will buy old social media accounts.

If you are parting things up, I’d consider buying the Prusa XL and maybe a dozen or two kg of filament, but I probably wouldn’t go above half the price of a new printer, and the filament I buy is already cheap. You may be better off keeping the printer to just have fun with it.
