"Her"



Interesting movie! Falling in love with an operating system! Both Jetta and Joe the Plumber liked it (Jetta loves it; Joe's heartbroken and left afterwards to commiserate with some spirits).

Afterwards, I started asking Siri numerous questions, including, "Do You Love Me?" She parried the question well.

Cast featured Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore Twombly (a professional writer of faux-personal letters), Rooney Mara as his estranged wife Catherine, Scarlett Johansson as Samantha, the OS voice, Amy Adams as neighbor Amy, plus Olivia Wilde as the Blind Date, Portia Doubleday as the Surrogate Date Isabella, with contributions from Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Director Spike Jonze, and others. The scene is near-future Los Angeles, with a marked California vibe. Music by the ever-versatile Arcade Fire!
