Yea but he felt a duty to do his job and liked doing it. Most of us would be those failed experiments that immediately merc ourselves once turned back on.

RoboCop 2?
I liked the one that shot the dickhead scientist.
Do you like your job? They're probably just simulating you because you outperform LLMs.
I've mentioned this before but not only is he resurrected so he can continue to work, but he's property now.
Also, Murphy's lack of agency due to this status was further exploited in the movie by scabbing a strike.
All this (satirically) suggests that, were death itself available as slavery and union-busting loophole, someone would exploit it given the chance.
I can forgive union busting when it's police. They have zero solidarity with the rest of the working class.
It's almost like there's a connection to be drawn here
That they're class traitors who serve the interests of capital?
Does ACAB apply to RoboCop?
Twice the capacity for violence, the same qualified immunity so... Yes.
Probably no, at least dude doesn't care about race, he apply police brutality the same for everyone.
No, but he's also a fictional character.
Mickey 17 (2025) is a movie about just that
Is that movie any good?
Good movie, lots of plot points they start but don't finish IMO. Also some things that go unexplained by the end of the movie. I'd say it's worth a rental or opening your sails...
I’ll give it a go this weekend
If you find the premise of the movie enticing, give it a go. Everybody's tastes are different, what if that random stranger is as wrong as half the critics?
I've often found highly rated media boring and low rated media entertaining. And the opposite of course. And in between, right down the middle - A real "meh"-fest. Those are the worst, not even bad or dumb enough to be entertaining. Like "The Core" (2003). It's so dumb, highly entertaining.

I read the book first which is better, but they did a good job with the movie, and I actually really like what they did with Mark Ruffalo's character.
The first half is quicker paced than the second half, but it's a fun movie.
It's OK.
Not really according to the Drinker.
He is a right wing nut job. His opinion on anything holds little weight.
Fuck The Critical Drinker.
Him saying a film is bad should be enough to go and watch it.

"you are supposed to die in the vicinity of retirement, please and thank you" - capitalism
At least he liked his job.
I'd buy that for a dollar
Ok but hear me out, those are not the same DSLs.
LOL and true
This is why you never volunteer for anything!
If skynet isn't a thing by then, I sure am going to start it.
Yeah... I'm glad that I can quit a shitty job, at least!
