Automata - Yay! Netflix

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

I liked that movie when it was called The Terminator.

Isn't that the opposite of a robot becoming self-aware? As in "a human finding out he's really a machine."

The question of whether Deckard is intended to be a human or a replicant has been an ongoing controversy since the film's release. ... Ridley Scott has confirmed that in his vision Deckard is a replicant.

Yes, it is.

Yay, Netflix!

Movie was ok. I had a hard time figuring out the motivations behind some of the decisions being made by humans.
