kramer is too OTT wacky for me but I definitely know people who, like him, always have a different farfetched scheme in the works but also never seem to have an actual job.

Watched 2 more episodes yesterday, I think it's better than curb. Certainly better, once you get into it, than the latest curb series which I couldn't even watch one episode of.

i like doing things like this where you have a good impulse of being nice so you do the nice thing, but you make it a bit evil, like leaving out limburger so his feelings are hurt. it just puts a bit of spice into it.

Im sure subservience is part of it but its primarily because its a mans genre and we dont understand women thus making the films mysterious and spooky

If we look at Her, still properly sci fi but not the same type of man movie, we have a lady robot but its the man who is sexually obtuse

robots in general are often female because of the executives secretary/maid/mother dynamic so sci fi movies follow suit but its a second order connection. its a movie, the first impulse is to stimulate.

Its about seduction
Id go so far as to say kubrick was aware of this and opted to make HAL male becuase of it- the voyeuristic watching, the denial games- if it was a lady robot using the same delivery the sexuality would be distracting

maybe if I was less confident in my point I would be hurt but Im very sure Im right in this case
Nina Power wrote a long blog post once about how, given the choice, a man will always choose to have sex with a robot and a woman will always choose to have sex with a chimpanzee.
