JUDY (Sci-Fi Short Film)

[@Waltham1892]

This is why we can't have nice things.

[@Waltham1892]

I was going to get to it!

[@herheartbeats5727]

You can...but they won't move by themselves, so conning you will be more difficult.

[@RevLeonPLeon]

There's a lesson to be learned here. Always ask a girl if she is a robot or not. Then check to make sure she isn't lying and in fact....you know the rest. Great work guys!

[@herheartbeats5727]

Probably the most safe way : check the powering / loading plug (s) ^^ (today any robot technology probably cannot stay "alive" even a few hours, without consistent sector direct powering / battery loading).

[@electriccerix]

The reason why *Judy gave Pete a business card with her husband's phone number on it is because they have a really dark sense of humor and the 2 of them planned it all along.* If the husband wasn't in on it, she wouldn't hand Pete her husband's phone number or remain in-character while he called him and gave his address. Judy and her husband walked to Pete's door with an empty box, she climbed in, he put a little more duct tape on it, knocked the door and ran to the stairwell. Judy and her husband actually live in the same building as Pete and must have known his name since Pete is surprised by the knock on his door (he didn't have to "buzz them up") and when the box is opened Judy says "Hello, Pete Bonowitz". If a strange, duct-taped package showed up at my door I'd have serious concerns about the contents and the sender. At no point, would I think this is an authentic offer from a large corporation, which, by the way, is not named at all... she just says "Beta trial of the Android Assist Program". A business card would not alleviate my concerns. There's no branding on the box, no instruction manual, not even standard packaging, like styrofoam and plastic. *Pete saw right through this and thought, "let's see how compliant this 'robot' is", not realizing that this is exactly what Judy and her husband expected to happen* ... she "breaks character" right after the phone call, which is also what they had scripted from the beginning. *Even though he drags her away, screaming, as soon as they got to the stairwell they probably broke out in uncontrollable laughter.* My favorite explanation is that all 3 of them are part of an improv comedy team and they were all in on it... because this a live show in Vegas in the near future (where sex bots are common).

[@herheartbeats5727]

Agree with the last part of your comment...real love robots look terrifyingly pricy even today (you probably wouldn't get one *for free* even in the future, probably more chance to discover Alita's worn out head and torso in a junkyard), and to come up with all manner of package securing. . And you probably have to do all the final assemblies and booting, so that the company can deny as much of your exchange / refund claims as possible on the auspices of "you did it wrong !". That's usual, solid, standard company practice for elaborated goods. . And yes it probably would come with a detailed manual for the exact same reason. Oh and don't forget the powering and battery-loading devices because even powering a head with a tablet-size computer *uses electrical power* ! Let alone a robot endoskeleton able to move by itself (our usual standard about 75 kgs Human uses about 0.5 HP at walking, that's about 0.3 KW constantly. Even by only 8 hours a day, that's 2.4 KWH...the death of *any* 12V / 24V battery implement...).

[@incognito8219]

Judy: what would you like me to do now? Guy: make me lunch Clean the house Wash the car Pick up my dry cleaning Stock the fridge Rearange my encyclopaedias in alphabetical order Make the bed Clean the washroom Do a kickflip

[@GregTechnology]

Can you imagine how hard it was to film the first bed scene without cracking up?

[@BigZ7337]

That was pretty good, although for the story to work, I think the husband was in on it, and Judy & him were having some weird kind of sex game. Otherwise it wouldn't work as she gave him the card with the phone number of her husband on it.

[@ManlyOBeeferton]

She may have wanted to get caught.

[@grossleg123]

BigZ7337 I thought that as well that part spoilt it ( I thought the husband was going to be a Robot sent round to give him everything that he did to her , that would have been a better end ,

[@astroflight6571]

I think they were corporate spies, intent on stealing what ever he was working on.

[@curtchildress7160]

Agreed. The couple was tripping people with a sex game.

[@DarionDAnjou]

The wife clearly wants to get caught and make her husband jealous. I mean, she hands Pete the card up front, with her husband's number on it. Husband could be in on it, or not. Doesn't matter to the hilariousness of the story one way or the other.

[@medallionmotionpictures]

this is funny @ 7:20 "she told me she was a robot". that's a classic line in the midst of an affair. Hay they're made already and being distributed word wide.

[@almcdonald8676]

This is a work of twisted genius. No one in this film has any shred of integrity.

[@FretMillen10]

...No, no just today LMAOOO

[@jawoodsiii]

Judy did a great job playing a robot in bed. Had to be tough not to laugh. LMAO

[@judithwalker3600]

Got sucked in by the title. Funny, Funny, Funny! With 'comments. for dessert! Still laughing.

[@carlosidelone8064]

Judith ; Did you think, that it was going to be autobiographical ! Give you any "naughty" ideas ?

[@riptide10x60]

That was awesome! The most realistic robot movie I've ever seen!

[@mikehillsgrove1612]

I like his first task. No social skills required in the future.

[@GubekochiGoury]

Well they are if you want to have a family and not just a fuck-box XD

[@t.b.a.r.r.o.]

Right. Out. Of. The. Box.

[@herheartbeats5727]

1 : never trust a robot that you didn't assemble (at least head to body) . 2 : never trust a robot that you didn't boot. . 3 : never trust a robot that you cannot easily incapacitate to sheer harmlessness (or better, just shut off). . 4 : never trust a sell service that knocks at your door as an angry husband would do. . I think it sums all of the problems in that movie...

[@Paul-rs4gd]

I can't believe how many people are negative about this. I thought it was brilliant.

[@mariosolio4204]

FASCINATING, I thought she was a robot as well, fooled me as well.

[@johnjohnmikell2879]

Crazy ass flick! It was good, but... Why would he feel guilty? They're the crazy ones...too.

[@DarionDAnjou]

This shizz had me rolling! SPOILERS Husband: "Do you have sex with a lot of robots, Pete?" Pete: "Noooo, just today. Just, just those... 3 times" ahahahahaha!

[@jashton8710]

I would have gone for it too. What I don't understand is, why did she provide the phone number to her husband if she didn't want to get caught?

[@hintzofcolorconcepts]

they play that game evry weekend

[@dans1601]

This WILL be part of the future, prob within 20, 30 or 50 years. MANY men will just BUY an android girlfriend or wife. Not all men, but the ones that can afford one and the ones that dont want to put up with the hassle of meeting, dating, breaking up, etc, etc.

[@stefanr8232]

If you have enough money you could order a JUDY model today. Legality varies from country to country.

[@carlosidelone8064]

Forta; Maybe if you looked on relationships differently, you could see things more positively. It seems, as if you're looking at women as, products like a car rather than a complex, evolving psyche and an emotional being able to analyze and interact with the world and share that with you. You need to find someone, whose world-view you admire someone's opinion you can defer to, not just an attractive body. In that case, you might as well have a robot. Real people, male or female, do become annoying. If you can't deal with that, you will be a very lonely person.

[@namelesscynic1616]

Still have to wash out her circuits though!

[@you2tooyou2too]

And those who need love and family and a meaningful home.

[@blackdesertcat]

I hope to find one of these at my door damn

[@Mechknight73]

How many males, if you put them in this very situation, would be thinking, "Can I @#&* you?" That's about 80% of the reason why some robotic engineers would be making robots that look and feel human

[@catholiccrusader5328]

So sad yet so true; while sexbots will signal the end of the female industry if and only if human females would learn to COOPERATE with their spouses future artificial women wouldn't be an issue. There's nothing like the real thing baby as the old dusty goes.

[@plucas9324]

I'm thinking more like 95%...

[@trustgod2120]

I was thinking the exact, same thing then totally cracked up at 2:23

[@fireblade0877]

She would have come clean if he got the pressure washer out...

[@hopesonmakokha5217]

😂😂

[@JabberCT]

Great dark humor. Well done.

[@rtpoe]

For me, it's the constant ticking of the clock in the background that makes it work - a sign of the ordinary day aspect of the story.

[@stevewatts3502]

Oh, this popped up on my recommended... very sweet. Reminds us all that it is so hard to get motivated working from home.

[@genjaxx1463]

I knew she wasn't a robot ,as soon as she started saying something about ejaculate in her circuits.Robot chicks have sealed circuits for that very reason.....

[@ariaririririririi7762]

Jessica Lange: Oh judy Judy Judy bo budy banana fana fo fudy fe fi mo mudy JUDY!

[@garicrewsen1128]

All critiquing aside: this was f**king AWESOME! Ran me through the gamut of emotions and ended on some incredible high brow art. GG.

[@anonb4632]

Righteous Indignation "****ing awesome"? About right.

[@ursaltydog]

I think they were both thrill seekers.. the husband and wife.. because if she was doing this to get her own jollies off, she'd never put her real telephone number on the card.. So.. I think Pete is safe in his guilt.. he doesn't appear to keep up with news anyway..

[@pensive69]

Maybe Pete came 4 times since he felt guilty and all...

[@tautau1a]

Riddle me this: who taped her into the box?

[@TheShattenjager]

Siva Smith her husband because the whole thing was a fetish of theirs.

[@ghavinga]

Great dark and cheeky humor, very well done. Thanks, it is a relief and joy to see that some people still have some humor about human (sexual) nature.

[@andrewgalloway7344]

even at 3:10 my instructions would be 'fuck off and hide under the bed ya freaky fucker'

[@captnquazar2153]

I didn’t see that one coming

[@GubekochiGoury]

No one did, they did their best so the blankets would cover everything!

[@thekhenthul]

always double check your "robots", note taken

[@herheartbeats5727]

Right, and assemble and boot them by yourself, so you're at least a little bit more sure of the outcome.

[@AdamBooner]

Pure artistry

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

Did Judy pass the Turing test? Well acted, great script.... just how a short movie should be... I'm still chuckling to myself!

[@kaimdaughertyable]

At least they where super realistic with this short!! 😂😂😂 first thing when a man gets a robot

[@xamurai00]

A billion dollar model and it came in a cheap cardboard box with zero bubble wrap hehe

[@herheartbeats5727]

Right...in real life the cartboard box would probably end with a nondescript shape and the robot inside would be so pummeled that it would rather look like the unholly daughter of an octopus and a clay puddle xd.

[@phantomwarrior8686]

Make any sense. If these robots were sold, they would come in a very great box, protected by sofopor and maybe some plastics. Not to mention it wouldn't be a box with no information, and everything scattered around. The robot body would be in one place, and the manual in another and the cable to charge in another and the robot's clothes in another. Nonsense.

[@fayelure8389]

aw man!i love each and every kate freunds work!

[@kyrianonwe9565]

Ok, how do I get in on these free robot boning beta tests? -Roboning. That's mine, nobody use it!

I guess I must be twisted....I thought this one was hilarious. Wrong on alot of levels...but still hilarious :)

yeh, they're all using each other!

[@carlosidelone8064]

Amy; You is one laid-back lady !

[@anubiscerberusmwks5997]

You are not twisted just being the woman you are. (female right?) So female thinking it was hilarious - not twisted but good sense of humor. But male thinking it's only hilarious....that's twisted!!

[@Annamarie40985]

I thought it was pretty funny as well. Maybe something is wrong with me…

[@Mr91495osh]

Seriously, one day we will have sexual robots, remember the movie “Cherry 5000”, and it will have a serious effect on marriage.

[@herheartbeats5727]

Right but the interest in marriage is collapsing here and now, now need of robots. On the other hand, robots might be helping to those who still want a comforting partner but don't want to be entangled into the flame war that has become the relationship/marriage today.

[@Mr91495osh]

HerHeartBeats buy a robot, keep your house!

[@herheartbeats5727]

@@Mr91495osh Hehe yes, and you probably use the proper world, "buy" it ! And never trust a robot unexpectedly sent to you home's threshold (especially in an incredibly poor packaging with no shipping mark, no file and no user manual).

[@boombang5750]

I want to submit my one short film. How do I do it?

[@bonusbaby801]

What the?...this should be a series. It's better than half the shit on TV.

[@thearchibaldtuttle]

The theoretical analysis convinced me! Take my money!!

[@chuffpup]

Good film, good acting, good plot. Sci fi doesn't need to be in space or the future, or anything. Robots, VR, it could be now, or the very near future, doesn't matter, just the weirdness, and social commentary-ness of it, is sci fi-ish enough for me.

[@gybx4094]

I would have done the same. But I would have been disappointed finding out she wasn't a robot.

[@leakyjeep5.9]

Same type of print in the credits as the 80s series Miami Vice.. Extremely rare. Composer- Jason Martin Castillo.. Lt Martin Castillo was Crockett and Tubbs boss Hmmmmm...

[@maddawg9704]

Lmao!!! Dude gets a free robot and fucks it into short circuiting 😂😂😂 oh snap nvm she was real. Still funny as hell tho

[@ssppeellll]

"A science fiction comedy short about love and artificial intelligence." Except the love. There was no love in the story. Nor artificial intelligence. But yeah, other than that, the description is spot on. I did enjoy the story though.

[@Hogger301]

I'm not sure how I feel about this one.

[@DarionDAnjou]

can you expand on that?

[@Hogger301]

Darion D'Anjou I tend not to talk about my expansions. In public .

[@DarionDAnjou]

can you talk about the nature of your mixed feelings regarding the short film "Judy"? in public?

[@Hogger301]

Darion D'Anjou The main issue I see in this is not the social detachment caused by technology, the reference of suicide by firearm, but of the mental health of the female in this. It would seem that she targeted this individual for his detachment from society. To me it would seem as if he was and is in the end the victim.

[@carlosidelone8064]

Hogger301; Sounds like you feel some bitterness towards females, which is NORMAL.

[@curtchildress7160]

Funky super good!!!

[@AsciiKing]

Aweosme. Well done all round. The twists were great. The acting was spot on. Great job!

[@QwazyWabbit]

So many comments about the bad setup and disbelief in why the wife would give out the husbands phone number. What they didn’t see was the couple laughing in the car on the way home and the husband turning to the wife to say “That was great honey, what should we do tomorrow?” Everyone has their kink.

[@jameshalleluyah8133]

The last thing any man needs in a female robot is hard AI. Just keep it soft AI or heck put some push buttons on her upper back that read: 1. Make sammich 2. Bend over 3. Clean house 4. Stand silent facing corner

[@herheartbeats5727]

Right in fact soft IA is probably the thing *any* of us (from both sexes) is wanting from the other partner, just fantasying them as our own vision of the "perfect" man / woman (to our own desires) so that makes sense.

[@davidskerret]

That was silly and funny loool well done

[@TheShattenjager]

Seen this a few times already. Still an absolute masterpiece. I doubt most people understand the brutal insight this short story illustrates. Also, I noticed the phone number is not a usual 555 but what seems to be a legitimate number. Has anyone called?

[@brianminsk8]

I am 12 and this is deep level insight. Anyone who watches this can get it. I had my pitbull watch it, and she understood it. I had my 7 year old son watch it, and he got it. I had my cousin with down syndome watch it, and she also understood it.

[@catfacepoetry3211]

So, it's not scifi, and I don't like the marketing.

[@moviefandom]

Cat Face Poetry what do you mean the marketing?

[@pwnmeisterage]

I agree, this is not sci-fi, claiming it is "sci-fi" does not make it sci-fi. Yes, there's a holographic screen on his coffee table, some sort of VR gear on his desk, a woman who claims to be a machine and a guy who seemingly accepts this as plausible. He immediately starts "using" the "technology". And it's not hard to imagine what he does while "using" VR. But the same story could just as easily claim to be "steampunk", "fantasy", "horror", "historical", "mythological", whatever. With the woman "dehumanized" by wearing a mechanical costume, pretending to be an alien, claiming she is a clone, or a ghost, or cursed by an evil witch, or possessed by demons, whatever. With the guy still callously exploiting her as a nonhuman (maybe even disposable) object. With the husband's reaction unchanged. Too many filmmakers, authors, and audiences think advanced tech gadgets or tech babble is "sci-fi" when it is not. They mistake the trappings as the message, they don't look beyond the cosmetic. Often because they themselves don't actually like sci-fi, lol, and it's apparent when their craft is presented to those who do. The only merit I see in this dull drama is the antagonist (outraged husband) being the only character whose actions seem wholly plausible, not artificially driven by the "perversion" shock-value gimmick this film tries to emphasize.

[@DarionDAnjou]

P I think you’re running late for Sunday School

[@anonb4632]

"Scifi" is junk. The real stuff is "SF".

Concept of Nerd Heaven on Earth.

[@ziiofswe]

Different take: He's a robot too, and this is his programmed response if the user turns out to (ab)use the robot for sexual pleasure or otherwise damaging it. Her reaction is programmed, an emergency routine designed to override all safety limitations. She can move again but it burns out her servos and such, she'll need a more thorough service/repair once back at the lab. (The reason she seems more human is that this is a pre-programmed behavior for a very specific scenario, so they could easily make her look more human.) This way the test subject won't make any fuzz, drawing unwanted attention to the project before public release. + + + I just made this shit up to give some meaning to the story, because in itself, it mostly sucked.......... ...and not as good as the robot.

[@brianminsk8]
