I am so watching this.

As it were, someone actually did upload the full movie here:

Wikipedia plot outline is... admittedly, pretty funny:

The two lead characters appear as the robotic forms of Daft Punk and are credited as "Hero Robot No. 1" and "Hero Robot No. 2"; one wears a silver helmet and the other wears a gold one. An opening scene shows the duo driving in a 1987 Ferrari 412 with its license plate displaying "HUMAN". After passing through a Southwestern United States landscape, the duo arrives by car at a town in Inyo County, California.^[1] The town's denizens are also shown to be robots physically identical to the two main characters, but at different ages, with different clothing and alternating gender.

The pair drive to a high-tech facility where liquid latex is poured over their heads. The latex is shaped into human-like faces with the aid ofprosthetic appliances and wigs. When the two leave the facility, the locals of the town are shocked by their human appearance. The duo's faces eventually melt in the sun as the townsfolk chase them. The two take cover in a public restroom where the gold robot discards his ruined mask, then encourages the reluctant silver robot to do the same. Again appearing as robots, the pair then undergo a lengthy hike across desert salt flats.

After walking for a while, the silver robot removes its jacket and reveals a switch on its back. The gold robot flips the switch, which begins a timer. When the countdown ends, the silver robot is blown to pieces. The remaining robot piles the remains of the silver robot, then continues to walk. The gold robot eventually falls to its knees and attempts to reach the switch on its own back, but to no avail. The robot removes its helmet and repeatedly slams it into the ground until the helmet shatters. Using one of the shards as a burning-glass, the robot focuses the sunlight to set its hand ablaze. The film ends as the robot, completely on fire, walks in slow motion through darkness.

Needless to say, there is a lot of social commentary in them thar hills:

At one point, Conway started to rattle off some names of who he thought the top tier VCs were. Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner, Sequoia, Benchmark, Greylock, Accel — Mike urged him to keep going as to why those are the best, but Conway said those are just the ones off the top of his head.

I'd venture to guess what makes these guys who they are: class. In general, the best investors become that because they add value to the companies and treat the founders with respect.

It is that simple.

It is remarkable how many investors fall down on one or both accounts.

SOME people recite history from above, recording the grand deeds of great men. Others tell history from below, arguing that one person's life is just as much a part of mankind's story as another's. If people do make history, as this democratic view suggests, then two people make twice as much history as one. Since there are almost 7 billion people alive today, it follows that they are making seven times as much history as the 1 billion alive in 1811.
