Movie about man falling in love with Computer

Have you guys seen the previews for "her".
This is sad shit:
"The film centers on a man who develops a relationship with a female voice produced by an intelligent computer operating system."
Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) is a lonely, introverted man who writes personal love letters for people with difficulties expressing their feelings. Unhappy because of his impending divorce from his childhood sweetheart Catherine (Rooney Mara), Theodore purchases a talking operating system with artificial intelligence, designed to adapt and evolve like a human being.

It's a movie. Soylet Green came out in 1973 and we're not killing senior citizens for food yet.
I do think that sex bots are in the world's future, but that's just the next iteration of internet porn.

I've seen previews. I can tell a lot from the previews.
*It's typical feminist narrative garbage. The guy meets an attractive, highly desirable women shortly after falling in love with his computer's operating system. And guess what?!?!?!? She likes him just for who he is! Turns out, the system isn't conspiring against male! You just have to wait to meet the right person! It's only a matter of time!
*It is most likely that there is a happy ending, with him realizing that there is no substitute for a real flesh and blood woman. After all, there is no way a man can be happy without having a woman in his life. There is a small chance that the film goes the European Art Film route and he ends up choosing the computer to the woman, but somehow I doubt that.
This film is going to do us all a disservice.

Nope.
The Computer cheats on him, so he deletes her, then deletes himself.

LOL at movies like this, Shame and Don Jon that implicitly blame men for the decline of marriage. Where are the movies that place a fair share of the blame on women, whom feminism has indoctrinated out of the qualities that men are looking for in a wife?
Male behavior is a reaction to female behavior, not the other way around; in other words, cocks play by the rules that pussy sets.

Those award ( Winner ) signs on the poster are enough to turn me away from these movies these days... Seems like they're being handed out by feminists and white knights left and right in the movie biz.

Spoiler Alert!!!:
The computer runs a trojan that siphons all of his money into an offshore account that he can't access.

Stupid concept, read the Wiki plot, saved me $15 by keeping me from watching it.

Just saw it. I think it's more insightful into the implications of sentient AI, over-interconnectedness, and the loneliness of modernity. Looking for feminist propaganda ignores the bigger issues that the movie addresses. The future looks interesting at the very least.

Loved the movie. It had a couple of parts where I cringed from a cheesy scene but overall it was really fucking good. Especially like the ending and final shot. Musical score was excellent.
