I, Robot: Not your fathers Asimov.

Well, that was decidedly less horrible than I'd assumed. But the anthopomorphised I-Mac design of the evul robuts still sapped the tension out of the fight scenes. So I'm still right, only slightly less so.

I hate robots, so I was glad to see 'em die in I, Robot!

i just re-read 'I, Robot' because we bought the DVD last week. I had forgotton how 40-ish the language is ("that robot burned out a whole bank of relays") I even saw a thing about vacuum tubes in the throwaway dialouge. Well, for whatever reason, the short stories are STILL better than the action movie. Mostly have to deal with man's ability to out think a robot that's behaving weird or dangerous. Will Smith just up and blasts them. Frankenstein complex, ya know. In the book they call all the robots 'boy'. Like; "come here, boy." And; "Move all my electro-space air-le-toodlers into the trunk of my groundcar, boy." Enlightened society, don't ya know.
