Sorry to see you venture into the use of hypocrisy, you were almost shaping up to be the well-abled argumentative type. You cried about me judging something as simple as a movie through its previews, and you judge my physical appearance on mere numbers, never having seen me.

you said 5'11" and 150lbs...do I have to see you?

seriously please think...you attacked a man for being fat.

I asked what do you weigh and your height. You answered.

I gave my opinion.

where is the hypocracy? Nice trying to give yourself props on a debate, you failed at the original post though....nice sophmoric attempt though.

If you are going to make statements regardless of what they are, please know WTF you are talking about.

please...

Now you're making spelling errors too... :(

I didn't attack a man for being fat, I've never even met the fat bastard. I only included an empty off-hand comment at the end of my post. I can assure you no seriousness went into that entire post. I'm also starting to fail to see any remaining seriousness in this argument.

Just got back from the movie... it's a great action flick. Definately better than King Arthur and the Chronicles of Riddick. But not as good as Spidey!

That scene got the most laughs in the theater I was in. Thats usually a very lame joke but it was funny to see it in a movie.

mobobuff: you're lame please stop whining in public.

The movie was so so. My brother enjoyed it, but I have to
say I had more fun at Van Helsing. I, Robot atempts depth
but if you try and dive in you're likely to leave in a wheel chair.

Saw F911 it was pretty bad....just Moore leaping to conclusion and doing that fancy editing he does that makes people look bad.

In closing, Michael Moore is fat.


great arguement there. did you even see the movie?

I enjoy irobot. I thought it would be lame, but it wasnt

No, but I saw Bowling for Columbine 20 times (I wrote a summary on it) and I'm still vomiting up the shat he tried to make me swallow with that bastardization of a film. I imagine I'll have it all out in 2008, then I might have the sh!t-capacity to watch F911.

And the plot of "robots have gone mad and out of control and are attacking us and all our base are belonging to them!!!11ohnoes!!1" has been done to death in Hollywood. I'm sick of it.

Um, you obviously never read the original book NOR read up on ANY review of I, Robot. You should try that before running your mouth thinking a movie is about one thing when it's about something else.


Then I blame shoddy advertising and preview tactics. Who are you to say what a movie is about and what I should assume it's about? It has Robot in the title so I hate it already. If you don't think I should be able to express my preconceptions of a movie then you're missing half of what off-topic message boards are about. This thread wasn't started for the book, or the reviews it has, so don't bring that nonsense up to have a point. There are probably thousands of movies you've hated that you've never read the book to or were even aware of it having a book. I don't need to read paper to hate a movie, I don't need to eat an apple to hate an orange.


go home and watch your anime pron and leave your pseudo previews up your arse where they belong

I saw it Saturday and really enjoyed it. It's not the best movie ever, or even the best movie of the summer, but still really good and well worth the price of admission.

And I am going to go against what seems to be the mainstream and say that I am really excited about Sky Captain.

Didn't like Spiderman? Bourne Supremecy is coming out this week, that looks great.

btw for people that think I,Robot is lame, go read the books by Issac Asimov and you'll understand the importance of the three laws, and why they may hold for us in the future. I'm wondering why the movies made no mention of him :(

I saw I, Robot on Saturday and was quite impressed. I loved the action sequences, especially the scene in the tunnel. I think they did a wonderful job with the look of the robots themselves. They looked way better than the ones in the newest Star Wars movies.

***SPOILER***














What was the purpose of showing Sunny on the hill at the end? You know, like in his dream, except it isn't Will Smith like Sunny said, but Sunny himself. Was Sunny going to "free" the NS-5s?

So, what your saying is that all code produces completely foreseeable results especially when the code written for these robots probably was produced by other computers.

There will come a time when code will be so complex that only computers will be able to produce the last iteration. Programmers will only be planting the seed, so to speak.

What are we besides the most complex machines with the most disjointed code?

I have no idea - maybe it's related to the book? This was the only link I found with a halfway believeable explanation of the ending:

http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?t=94876

I think that Sunny is more than just a robot with the ability to feel emotions and such. That's the only thing I can think of why the NS5's would stop dead in their tracks and stare at Sunny standing on the hill.
