Curiosity will be getting a software upgrade soon that allow it to look for "interesting rocks" and take photos without stopping, like a tourist in NYC too busy to get off the bus.
The robot (after all, that's what it is) is remaking the malevolent image of robots on space missions, most recently in the movie Prometheus, though he kinda comes around in the end.
Then there was HAL in 2001, one huge robot that controlled way too much.
If NASA suddenly starts getting continuous photos by Curiosity of itself, we'll know we've turned the corner into cinema.
