Red Riding Hood

So, Red Riding Hood... The Big Bad Wolf does not strive for a challenge. Either Little Red Riding Hood is like 5, (in which case why is she walking through the forest alone) or she's retarded. Either way I think her parents are very irresponsible... Or their Spartans and want to test her survival skills.  Regardless, how does she not notice that there is a wolf in place of her grandmother. I mean it's not like a wolf can recline in a chair. Better yet, I don't think grandma usually smells as bad as forest animal.
I suppose I'll throw the wolf the bone here and say that it could talk.  Aside from that though, it has paws... WITH CLAWS!!!!  I'm disappointed in Miss Riding Hood for not being more perceptive.

Skynet

Terminator 3 was a hit movie.  The main issue that was stated in the movie, for why the machines took over, was that Skynet became self-aware.  I want to ask:  Did it really?  Let's analyze...

Becoming self-aware was what made Skynet "realize" that humans would try to terminate it and this triggered the computer system's Adrenal Gland and it went Hitler on the humans.  Did it really become self-aware though?  The purpose of Skynet was to create a computer program that could recognize a potential virus and destroy it before it had its chance to commence havoc upon the network that the humans used.

At the same time though, if Skynet's purpose was to kill off forces which were detrimental it may not have been going very far out of its original programming.  Excuse me I'm going to get really "tree-hugger" now.  Humans do have tendency to destroy everything.  Agent Smith (Matrix) himself said we are like a virus.  Perhaps Skynet just realized the true nature of humans when it was activated.  I'm sure it was programmed with a great amounts of historical data.  It really may have been keeping to its original programming.  You never know.

On that note... I think I'll go watch Avatar.
