                  The talking computer giving Luke Wilson a tattoo in Idiocracy made me laugh a lot. And is probably how talking computers would function IRL.

                        Robert Vaughn's purring evil computer in the weird '70's sci-fi flick, Demon Seed.

                          Well, there were Gerty terminals throughout the base, as well as his mobile incarnation. So I think he sneaks in.

                                The computer in Dark Star (John Carpenter's first feature film) is pretty good, but the star is the talking bomb which is (apparently) prevented from exploding through the application of phenomenological reasoning and Cartesian skepticism.

                                    All the ones in futuristic movies like Timecop and Demolition Man that dim the lights or play your home videos, and are there to show you quite how far in the future this film is set, and how ridiculously advanced that world is. Twenty years later and Alexa kicks their arse.

                                      Au contraire mon ami. "Love's Labour's Lost in Space" is the best Futurama episode ever.

                                        First appearance of Zapp Brannigan
                                        "Kif, I have made it with a woman. Inform the men!"

                                        I still prefer Zapp's lines in 'Amazon Women'
                                        "She may be a restaurant, but she handles like a bistro."

                                            Was it evil or was it just obsessed with self-preservation?

                                            It knew that once the humans returned to Earth it would no longer be needed.

                                              I find myself a bit confused by Futurama. I've watched a lot of it, and I really want to like it, but it doesn't really do it for me. I mean it's as competently and professionally done as you'd expect from Matt Groening but It just doesn't work for me. Is it that I'm not really a fan of Sci-fi, or is it that I can't help comparing it to the simpsons, which is rather unfair. What is it that people who like it, really like about it?

                                                Twiki from Buck Rogers.

                                                (Or professor Yueh?)

                                                  No. Just a man with rubber hair.
