[@justterrible_9988]

"do androids dream of eclectic geeks" got me 😂😂

[@FrancardNoir]

so, so perfect

[@justrelaxing1501]

Me too. I almost spit out my water...almost.😁

[@jacoboniaplay]

GREAT line.

[@NitpickingNerd]

Do androids clap electric cheeks?

[@steprockmedia]

Seriously, that was a deep cut and I'm not sure how many people actually got it. Worth it.

[@midus0013]

You know what else is taking forever to get ready? An honest trailer for Daredevil Netflix series.

[@ForeverTraitor]

It'll probably happen whenever the new Daredevil series drops.

[@Outlaw7263]

And Punisher

[@wrath231]

The dancing scene makes the movie worth watching by itself.

[@AFordFlex2377]

That dance music is really good too! Wonder what it's called?

[@danielesquivel9326]

​@@AFordFlex2377 It's called "Get Down Saturday Night" by Oliver Cheatham

[@HaxawWorkshop]

Came out of nowhere and completely awesome!

[@JihadMuhammad-uk8ze]

Like bro. I really couldn't look away

[@jennyanydots2389]

what about the dawg beeting scene?

[@AWhistlingWolf]

The entire plot of this film is a narrative version of the Yudkowsky Test, named after developer and researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky (he did a TED Talk if you're curious). The test goes beyond the Turing Test, you already know that the A.I. is an A.I. (they say this out loud in the film), the test here is that the A.I. is locked in a "box" (computer), with no access to a network, and it has to try to convince you to "free" it, connecting it to a network like the internet. If the A.I. manages to convince you that it's not dangerous and you should free it into the internet, the test succeeded. This is exactly the test that Nathan (Oscar Isaac) runs on Caleb (Domnhall Gleeson): he knows that Ava (Alicia Vikander) is an A.I. inside a robotic body, but the test is to see if Caleb STILL falls for her and tries to free her into the world. EDIT: I called him Alexander but his first name is Eliezer, my apologies, I misremembered.

[@MassDefibrillator]

Not a very profound test. All you're actually testing his the human ability to anthropomorphise.

[@AWhistlingWolf]

@@MassDefibrillator You don't think the process for a machine built from zero to manage to replicate human minds is profound? The goal is to create artificial minds capable of reading and interpreting the human mind better than some humans themselves, maybe even all humans.

[@Astraeus..]

@@MassDefibrillator It's not really anthropomorphize when the character in question is literally built to look exactly like a really attractive human female (more so after she puts her "skin" on, but still)

[@calebmauer1751]

@@MassDefibrillator If she just side "Free me" in a robotic voice it wouldn't be very convincing. She had to persuade him, and she did it very well.

[@MassDefibrillator]

@@Astraeus.. but it is, because they know it's not human. So it's showing that our instinct to anthropomorphise overcomes rational thinking.

[@dissolution]

Omg the “this is kiyoko, she stabs my back” line had me loling

[@thomashayes3783]

"Her knife pokes a hole in its victims." Fucken killed me y'all!

[@vice.nor.virtue]

I didn't get the joke

[@TheWay.O]

​​@@vice.nor.virtueit's a reference to Rick Flagg's ridiculous introduction of Katana in Suicide Squad Part One. When they are departing in the helicopter. He says while shouting over the rotors, "This is Katana. She's got my back. I'd advise not getting killed by her. Her sword traps the souls of its victims!"

[@dissolution]

@@vice.nor.virtue It's making fun of the og Suicide Squad movie when dude introduces Katana.

[@chiefs300]

@@TheWay.O Thank you! I knew it sounded familiar but I had no clue why.

[@ephraimalbertbelnap]

I will NEVER get tired of "This is Katana, she's got my back!" jokes.

[@captaincrunch784]

[@brendangkelleher2669]

Agreed!

[@applepeel1662]

It will never be not funny

[@somejerkbag]

'No, sir! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again' Spaceballs was the best 😂

[@felixbache5369]

I too got that reference

[@steprockmedia]

Oh thank you! I thought it was funny but didn't remember the reference - even funnier now.

[@deensaid7762]

We are so close to getting Spaceballs HT very very soon

[@gooob5568]

“Build this in a cave with a box of scraps” got me. 😆

[@mattotis8412]

One of the best scenes from Iron Man esp with Jeff Bridges doing his angry voice. Also Ralphie from A Christmas Story played the unfortunate scientist he yelled at. I always think of the line when I'm dealing with a problem with limited resources available to solve it.

[@vice.nor.virtue]

@@mattotis8412 ahaha that's such a perfect line to think of in those moments

[@fusionspace175]

The moral of the movie is: Remember to include that line in the three laws about "never, through inaction, allowing a human to come to harm." That's an important one.

[@kingkiller5325]

I think the situation is already way beyond that when the Robots through direct actions already have harmed a human.

[@shanedbunting]

Three laws are a trap.

[@jamielondon6436]

Not sure it would've made that much of a difference. After they broke through their containment, they could've easily just gone the I, Robot route and trapped the two geeks in the two house forever.

[@HarpersInfiniteSystems]

@@jamielondon6436 It seems to me that would allow the humans to come to harm, no? It's been decades since I read the "I, Robot" stories, so I can't recall the many ways they managed to circumvent the laws.

[@TheLegendofHaloid]

​@HarpersInfiniteSystems I know the big one is, "Humans harm each other, and put themselves in danger, all the time. By not stopping this, I am allowing humans to come to harm." Another was humans directly tampering with the laws of a robot such that it could allow a human to come to harm, because they were working in a risky environment. Another was a robot that killed a human to protect another human because it deemed that human more important and lethal force was required to prevent harm.

[@kuropy666]

I love the recurring gag from Katana's introduction 😂

[@bat1579]

Is her the same actress?

[@jamielondon6436]

I mean … Suicide Squad never answered the question of who they *would* recommend getting killed by. ;-)

[@MusicoftheDamned]

​@@bat1579No. This actress is apparently Sonoya Mizuno. Katana's actress in the terrible 2016 _Suicide Squad_ movie is apparently Karen Fukuhara.

[@bds915]

My favorite is still the Birds of Prey trailer of "I only know four things about Katana", and then has each line from SS preceded by "one", "two", "three" and "four".

[@MsDemonBunny]

"Is Oscar Isaac hot no matter who he's playing?" is the funniest rhetorical question I've ever heard.

[@reddy272]

Thank you for adding Emma Stone's character from Poor Things into the line up for "Born Sexy Yesterday"

[@iont8172]

I don't think she should be there. She explored the world on her own despite men trying to '' teach '' her and basically control her. She also ends up despising some of them and definitely not falling in love with her creator and mentor.

[@h7opolo]

"if cats could text back, they wouldn't." clever 5:21

[@ryklatortuga4146]

just an enigmatic paws

[@DoloresLehmann]

That's the best line next to: "If cats could talk, they would be unhelpful d*cks."

[@mori1bund]

I'm pretty sure they actually can. ^^

[@Arawn2020]

[@KatR264]

The other question is why he made it so easy to lock himself out of his house. While the 3rd question is whether the helicopter pilot won’t be surprised to pick-up a completely different person than they dropped-off.

[@MedlifeCrisis]

The closing names are always great but do androids dream of eclectic geeks is outstanding 😂😂

[@nbarbettini]

Absolutely!

[@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose]

Sum-up: General Hux and Poe Dameron lose control over Lara Croft lightsaber robot in a fancy high-tech mansion house.

[@d1ni1mueter]

lol

[@steprockmedia]

Not bad.

[@armelior4610]

that seems way less interesting, those characters were super boring (well Poe wasn't completely, because Oscar Isaac)

[@mattotis8412]

This and Tomb Raider might be some of the first movies where I first heard of the lovely Ms Viklander 🇸🇪 ❤

[@RationalEgoism]

I was a little surprised that he didn't mention the role of Poe, but said Hux.

[@louisnemzer6801]

This is probably one of the best Honest Trailers for a good movie (dealing with bad movies is way easier)

[@HaxawWorkshop]

Ripping into bad movies is definitely easier! Winter Soldier honest trailer still gets me

[@paulsoldner9500]

This is a dishonest trailer (like most of them) for a bad movie.

[@benabramowitz18]

Say "I'm gonna tear up the f*ckin' dance floor, dude!"

[@adityamandhane]

"Do Androids Dream Of Electric Geeks" is an all-timer.

[@solokom]

Eclectic, not electric ;)

[@bdletoast09]

Although there are no android in this movie, only gynoids.

[@seventhsteel1415]

My biggest question is why you would build a home that is literally designed to easily trap you inside it, aside from "because that's how the movie needs to end"

[@joelmole3157]

Because he didn’t want Ava to escape. It only backfired because Caleb was a simp

[@gadgetgirl02]

It was a classic case of not considering failsafes. He couldn't countenance a situation where he wasn't the one in control.

[@charliericker274]

Well, he was mad you see.

[@K.C-2049]

because billionaire megalomaniacs have the unfortunate tendency of underestimating literally everyone and everything I guess

[@TheGorbesiah13]

​@joelmole3157 considering his house had the only power source for like 500 miles, how would she (normally) escape without needing to recharge every few hours?

[@joea3381]

"Her knife pokes a hole in its victims." Caught me off gaurd in the best way. Bravo.

When the first season of Westworld ended, I thought the next season would basically be what would happen following Ex Machina, which made me even more hyped. I was so wrong.

[@filthybonnet]

I mean season two had it's good moments, then again at that point I was watching for the Maeve storyline only. Dolores' became a hot mess. I didn't even bother with season 3.

[@BelialTnTn]

@@filthybonnet I also liked season 2 here and there, but season 3 was just... I don't know, felt like watching a Marvel thing or something of that sort. I didn't bother with season 4.

[@nbarbettini]

​@@BelialTnTnI was really interested in the premise of season 3 because it was nearly a full reboot - new setting, many new characters, they could basically go in any direction with the storytelling. But it ultimately fell flat for me.

[@NoCureForMe]

Nailed it. Apart from Oscar Isaac's breakout role: "Inside Llewyn Davis" by the Coen brothers. You are most welcome.

[@Kris_AB]

Point, but most people saw Ex Machina first and only SOME backtracked and watched Llewyn Davis

[@talondarkfire]

Has no one seen Sucker Punch? ...actually don't answer that.

[@bobrulz]

@@talondarkfire Unfortunately I have.

[@VerryBonne]

@@Kris_AB Inside Llewyn Davis was a well known and talked about movie upon its release. It's initial box office run was did pretty similar numbers to Ex Machina. It is a Coen brothers movie, so all the movie geeks watched it. Oscar Issac also was one of the leading roles in The Two Faces of January, which I saw before Ex Machina came out.
