  NIMH Physicist says Be Kind Rewind is Fiction!–No Such Thing
as Magnetized Brain   Turns out the whole premise behind Be Kind
Rewind isn’t based in scientific fact! In the movie, Jack
Black–with a brain magnetized by a civil disobedience act gone
wrong–erases all the tapes in a Passaic, NJ video store, thus
impelling the re-shooting of all the movies destroyed.
According to professional spoil-sport Jeremy Berlin, no way,
Jose. He cites Jerzy Bodurka, a Polish physicist who works at
the National Institute of Mental Health:  Overall, soft brain
tissue has weak diamagnetic properties and cannot be magnetized
to [that] level. If it could, then the kitchen, the mechanical
shop, the hardware store, and many other places would be very
dangerous environments for all human beings. So the answer to
that question is NO.  In a few dozen years, or perhaps sooner,
when nanotechnology, robotics, and power-generation technologies
advance into something like a human-machine hybrid…such a hybrid
[could] have a part of its b
