2. Correct me if I'm wrong about Blade Runner (spoilers for a 30 year old film)

Isn't the big reveal of the film that the main (male) character is an android of some sort?

I'm always fascinated when a movie isn't just a movie. I guess some in certain circles are already spinning about "Her", which from what I gather, is about a man who falls in love with, essentially "Siri", an operating system who problematically has a female voice (and a very sexy one in my favorite, Scarlett Johansson, which I freely admit, WOULD force me to finally buy a smart phone). The movie is by "noted misogynist" (that's sarcasm, and full credit to the Jezebel commenter who said it) Spike Jonze.
