From Gaga Communications, the makers of that A.LI.CE flick, comes...this blend of horror and consequences. The models have improved but the quality is still pretty ghetto but it has an ending that's open to interpretation.
Malice@doll is a sentient sex robot, living in a deserted futuristic city with others like her. One day, she gets lost and is attacked by a monster. When she wakes up, she finds she has become human and that she can pass on her fleshiness like a virus. She decides to gift it to her fellow sex robots and non-humanoid utility droids, with (putting it lightly) VERY mixed results.
This is rate Rated 18+ for body horror and xeno-fornication.

"Malice@doll is a sentient sex robot, living in a deserted futuristic city with others like her." That's what's known as a CONCRETE DYSTOPIA. It's a staple of science fiction. Even science fiction that doesn't advertise itself as dystopian like Star Wars has TONS of concrete dystopias like Coruscant, Nar Shaddaa, Nal Hutta, Ord Mantell, etc., which means that technically Star Wars is in the dystopian genre of science fiction. You could argue that most if not all science fiction is dystopian. The term "concrete dystopia" should be officially recognized by now and have entries in most/all official encyclopedias and unofficial encyclopedias like Wikipedia too. EDIT: It already is! (kind of) "Concrete dystopias" are actually technically defined as ecumenopolis in classical literature. Here's the wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EcumenopolisI view them as being essentially the same thing. Concrete dystopias = ecumenopolis. Well, maybe a concrete dystopia could refer to just a single a single area or landmass of urban sprawl, unlike an ecumenopolis, AKA a "city planet". Anyway, looks like a neat film. Thank you for sharing it with us! I might have to watch this one out of morbid curiosity. |

Now shut up, take your meds and just appreciate something for what it is, for once! |

Now shut up, take your meds and just appreciate something for what it is, for once! Well then what WOULD you call a deserted futuristic city?? Aren't deserted cities a staple of the dystopian genre by default? Any way you look at it, without people they serve no purpose and are just empty quarters of dilapidated concrete. Also, "take your pills"? Screw that. I became a scientologist and stopped taking my meds months ago. I'm not gonna let big pharma run my life anymore. |

You are too poor to be a Scientologist.

You are too poor to be a Scientologist. You don't need money to be a scientologist. In fact, the inverse is true; you need lots of money to afford drugs. Scientology is merely the practice of refraining from purchasing or doing/taking prescription drugs. It's a practice as old as mankind itself, since pharmaceutical drugs didn't exist until modern times. I'm not an official member of the church of scientology, but I do follow its teachings. |
