Oh, the irony
Dude Would Rather Date Scarlett Johansson's Voice Than a Real Woman
Oh great, another movie about a dude who's SO DESERVING OF LOVE but just can't his shit together enough to date a real woman.
This time, it's the Spike Jonze-directed Her, a film that stars Joaquin Phoenix as a dude who falls in love with his phone's operating system. The trailer is entertaining, I guess, and Scarlett Johansson sounds great as Samantha (AKA hot sexy hot sexy sexy Siri), but do we really need another fantasy movie filmed by a white man about white men who will never find the perfect woman? Partly because she doesn't exist and partly because if she does, she's a computera subservient robot with a sexy voice who laughs at all your jokes and takes care of your scheduling.

about my post expressing appreciation for men who like sex with real women better than porn?!

(68,868 posts)8. So, the idea being that men can create the perfect woman
as a reflection of themselves?
Oy, this sounds painfully wanktastic. Probably not as bad as it sounds, but "boy meets algorithm" just doesn't do it for me.
