You poor bastard.
I, Robot isn't a terrible movie. Yeah a bit mediocre but enjoyable for what it is. However it's not I, Robot in any sense. They should have called it Robot Protocols.
Appreciate the sympathy from Guy, and agree with Tom! No way should it have been allowed to be called "I, Robot", but it does have Cromwell and Greenwood in it, and I LOVE Bridget Moynahan!!! And it does have some moments.
Catching up with Person of Interest
Madagascar II, complete with a send-up to the Twilight Zone "Gremlin on the Wing" scene, and the airplane engine failure sound effect of the Millenium Falcon failing to start Hyper Drive engines!
Plus, Worf's line of, "Ramming Speed!", originally from "Ben Hur".
A little teary, though, at the site of the World Trade Towers in the New York Skyline.
Those places aren't there any more.

But then Asimov's estate wouldn't have gotten any money--or any royalties from the movie tie-in edition of the original novel. In fact, the movie put Asimov's original novel on the New York Times Bestseller List for the first time in its long and storied history.
Hundreds of thousands of new readers discovered the novel because of that movie. Which wouldn't have happened if they had changed the title and disavowed any connection to Asmov's book.
Not sure you're doing the original author (or book) any favors if you "borrow" its ideas and then present them as something completely new and different.
So, it was a cunning whorish trick?
Watched Monsters Vs Aliens this morning. Not as enjoyable as I remembered it.
Long live the Queen (documentary about the Windsors). And no, it's the original Queen and not Helen Mirren, who had the honor to embody both Elizabeth I. and II.
I have to admit that Cate Blanchett lent Elizabeth I more youthfulness, although Shekhar Kapur's Elizabeth movies lack historical accuracy.

Watched Germany - France yesterday including penalty shoot-out. Luck was again with the Germans.
Isn't there a saying about football being a game with 22 players, and in the end the Germans are always the winners?
Not when it comes to the under 21 WC. They lost 5:0 against Portugal. A player named Horta scored. They should be glad that it wasn't a Klingon (Worf for that matter
) 
Billie and Billy.
Why is there so much incest on television these days, and why does everyone think that Adam Brody is a ten, when he's probably a 6?

How To Train Your Dragon: Race To The Edge on Netflix. Only partly through the first episode, watching with my boys. Our oldest Ian is a huge dragons fan, he is absolutely loving it. The animation is almost on par with the movie, a step up from the old Cartoons Network stuff.
You know what, Greg, that is an excellent point that I did not consider. My objection was to the "far afield" nature of the narrative in the Will Smith version. Point Well Taken.
Don't hold back, Guy. You are among Friends. Say how you are really feeling.
Wouldn't that be "Syrup Slurpers".
Because Gabriel Byrne and Peter Hyams have returned, and they are waiting to sign Schwarzanneger to "End of Days II: A Dark and Stormy Night".
"Unleashed," Angel Season Five
John Billingsley just sang "Jessie's Girl."

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.
They left out my favorite battle scene from the book. Ah well. I wondered how they would get the CGI budget for it, anyway. I guess that's why they also left out the part about moving the entire town (would've been awesome on TV but what the hey).

Chinese Zodiac at the moment (The Jacki Chan flick).
Later, I'll probably watch Jack Ryan:Shadow Recruit and Humans.
