I finished cassandra.
German Sci fi. Funny retro 70s robots. Seems to be going somewhere but... No Stupid ending.

What? Unification, sporting glory, economic heyday, VW fiddled emissions, political complacency, internal dissent and eventual breakup into hostile regional states?

Sadly not. Just characters acting weird, unnecessary plot elements that don't make sense introduced late and not really used, loose ends just never mentioned, and a lack of an expected explosion.

I wish I could watch The Matrix, or The Godfather, for the first time.

Maybe 4-5 years ago, I sat down and watched The Big Lebowski.  I'd never seen it before.  And when you say that movies can be let down by the hype and build up?  Big Lebowski did not disappoint.
