Random Question..Keep posting

Not an AJ fan, but have to admit the opening sequence of the movie makes me twitch a bit.

Animation is coming right along, though. A friend told me that there is an advert out for a console game that has a CGI female depicted as a gunslinging badass that looks good enough to compete with a real live girl on film. Haven't seen it, so don't have an opinion.

Would you consider an intimate electronic affair possible?
 
as in the new movie where the guy falls in love with his space talking operating system?

I guess anything is possible but something has to be out of whack in his/her life / psyche for it to be attractive as opposed to say a real live person.

what do you think?
 
No idea what movie you are referring to, but I was thinking an AI that had a CGI presence. Sort of a wicked smart Siri with video...

As much as I laud technology I would have to say no. Social interaction is not my strong point to begin with and I rely upon tactile input far to much to think it would possibly work for me. Maybe it would be different if there was a replacement for facial expressions, eye contact and the like. *shrug*

One step further. What if it the CGI represented AI became an android? Think Cherry 2000 if we stick with the movie examples.
 
Movie is called 'Her'. It is one of the Oscar nomination contenders this year:

Outline:

Set in the Los Angeles of the slight future, the story follows Theodore Twombly, a complex, soulful man who makes his living writing touching, personal letters for other people. Heartbroken after the end of a long relationship, he becomes intrigued with a new, advanced operating system, which promises to be an intuitive entity in its own right, individual to each user. Upon initiating it, he is delighted to meet "Samantha," a bright, female voice, who is insightful, sensitive and surprisingly funny. As her needs and desires grow, in tandem with his own, their friendship deepens into an eventual love for each other.

One step further. What if it the CGI represented AI became an android? Think Cherry 2000 if we stick with the movie examples.

He, she or it must be smarter than I (not overly difficult), possess a sharp tongue and have an intractably mischievous side.

Edit: If I'm to be honest I have to admit that looking like Piper Perabo negates all of the above. Boys will be boys and all.

Ditto.

Ideally, a guy w/a good sense of humor, who' s patient and likes playing board games.
(And it would help if he's not a Joss Whedon fan. My social circle already has way too many of those.)


Shopping bags - Paper, plastic, or reusable?
 
never, especially not after reading about how many times people have been dangerously misdirected by them.


can you read a map?
 
in principle LOL but not entirely sure how to work a map and a compass together - just never had reason to do it.

Ever been lost?
 
Proper chili con carne - a few months ago - I'm lazy to make. Chili however goes in 5 meals out of 7 LOL love the stuff. Gimme da BURN!!

You?
 
It's been years. One of our friends used to make it when her son was playing Pop Warner football. Bought a bowl, brought it home and made chili dogs. Delicious. She doesn't make it anymore so I haven't had either since.


UP or Wall-E?
 
Without question Up. Wall E was the biggest load of hooey under the sun. Didn't even finish watching it.

Despicable Me or Shrek?
