Buffy the Vampire Slayer, episode 3.20

"For gods sake man, she's 18, and you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Just have at it would you and stop fluttering about."

It's also 1999. Buff graduates in 1999.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

So. I'd been a bit skeptical about the robot/AI-saving-the-world-by-destroying-people* plot last summer but Ultron is not like any other robot I've seen. (If there are more Ultron-like robots, please share.) Even better second time!


*There are approximately 1000 movies and more books with this theme. Yet we are still trying to create it.
