Love, Death, and Robots

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Yay! Netflix.

This is an anthology of about 15 unconnected, animated, short stories, approx 9-15 minutes each.

It is very excellent.

A+, very much worth your time.

No replies to this movie, and that's wrong. Watch it.

Odd, I thought I had replied. I must be thinking of a different thread where w discussed whether the steampunk girl/cat aninal was feminist or not

I'm most of the way through.

Actually, I think I remember that discussion. Shared dreaming?

Please notate the order in which the episodes are presented to you. Kumail Nanjiani says the order you receive the episodes is based upon what Netflix's algorithm knows about you...

Well, you're wrong.

Oh, and Netflix has correctly assumed you two are gay.

No, it correctly assumed we'd like to see only women, which is 100% not gay, whereas your "hetero" scene is, by definition, 50% gay for having a dude in it.

Interestingly, wikipedia, had the same list Gordon + I had.

Netflix first addressed the differing arrangement of the shorts yesterday, when Lukas Thoms, co-founder of LGBTQ+ organization Out In Tech, tweeted speculation that the arrangement may be related to whether users were straight or queer. He pointed out that his arrangement put “Sonnie’s Edge” — a short with a lesbian sex scene — first, while his straight friend’s arrangement led with “Beyond The Aquila Rift,” a short with equally explicit heterosexual sex.

Two data points CLEARLY means something. /s Also, you're still 50% gay. Gordon + are are 100% hetero for watching lesbians.

At any rate, someone at Netflix said it's just random A/B testing.

Keep saying it, maybe you'll even eventually believe it!

"penis-watcher" made me laugh.

I'll always choose seeing two chicks do it, over one chick and one dude.

Watching lesbians while you two are fucking each other doesn't make what you're doing straight.


Back to the show itself, I enjoyed it. Some were miles better than others.

Was there a point to the series itself? Besides love, death, and robots?

They were basically short stories, and this was just an anthology of them. No overarching themes, etc, as far as I know.
