At least the bride was definitely going to show up. In November 2009, a Japanese man stood before a congregation to marry the woman he loved, Nene Anegasaki. In doing so, he became the first man to marry a computer game character – Nene is one of three "virtual girlfriends" in the Nintendo DS game Love Plus.
The marriage might not be recognised by the state, but to the groom, who goes by his on-screen name Sal9000, the relationship is very real. In the months leading up to the wedding the couple went everywhere together, they chatted intimately, held hands and Sal fell in love. After the wedding, he took Nene on honeymoon, then home to meet his parents.
Sal says he is in love with the character rather the machine, and presumably he's not alone – over 250,000 copies of Love Plus have been sold in Japan since it launched in 2009.
Spike Jonze's latest film Her takes the idea further, depicting a future in which phone operating systems are advanced enough to substitute a real romance. So just how likely are we to fall in love with a machine?

Mega B-Movie fan, here.

Hilarious b-movie.
Highly underrated album, “Time”.
That was essentially the premise of the demise of man in the movie “AI”...
I’ll have to check it out.
I have been a fan of B-movies since I was a wee bairn and that is one of the reasons why I love shows like MST3K.
If you like cheesy Sci-Fi TV shows, then there is Planet of the Maidens from the UK and Phoenix Five from Australia.
“Close To Me”
I’ve waited hours for this
I’ve made myself so sick
I wish I’d stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me
Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you’re here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
I’ve waited hours for this
I’ve made myself so sick
I wish I’d stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me
But if I had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream

Since you’re a Cure fan:
“show me how you do that trick
the one that makes me scream” she said
“the one that makes me laugh” she said
and threw her arms around my neck
“show me how you do it
and i promise you i promise that
i’ll run away with you
i’ll run away with you”
