bzarcherSo, something that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skarlette said a bit ago kinda clicked over a switch in my brain and got me thinking about this old, fairly funny '80s movie, Short Circuit. (There's also a sequel out there, but it's not as all around good. Has some moments, but nothing like the original.)
So, I decided to go to IMDB so I could properly reference it, and started looking at the user comments.
IMDb user comments for
Short Circuit (1986)
Page 5 of 31
(NAME REMOVED TO PROTECT THE TRULY ODD)
Woomera, Australia
Date: 12 May 2002
Summary: Sick, sick story of robot-lust. Avoid this film unless you seek moral corruption.
I believe that Howard the Duck, and recently AI and Bicentennial Man are the only other (Hollywood) films to dare cover such taboo-ridden territory, dealing as it does with the highly un-natural relationship between a woman and robot. Why else would the producers choose such a bland leading man so obviously past his Boys-From-Brazil bankable days? Just as The Riddler is there to distract us from the sordid male-only fantasy-club world of Bruce and Robin, so too Guttenburg is there to distract us from the truth that lies in the dark, dark heart of this offensive film.
This is not a love story, this is the sick, sick tale of a robot's lust for a human women. Why can't they go for their own kind? I would never fall in love with a robot, unless it was truly beautiful, and soft.
If this is the way robot's are going to behave, then perhaps we should dismantle them and send them back to where they came from before it is too late. We must, at the very least, take steps preventing them from infiltrating our society, and causing the mayhem they are designed for. I suggest "re-programming" camps or something similar.
Avoid this film unless you seek moral corruption.
I can't tell if he was serious or not, but I like it!
Meanwhile, the computers I'm imaging for the HR department slowly chug away as they begin to load Win2k, and all the suffering and screams attendant to such. :D
