it shits on the original series. I always wonder why use the name at all, if you are going to just rewrite the entire thing. It's not like aeon was popular enough for the name to boost the crap out of sales.

Worst movie I've seen in years.

The only reason I sat through it all was because Aeon was damn hot.

/r/ more.

But that's all that hollywood ever does these days.

Cases in point: Starship Troopers, I Robot, Star Wars 1 through 3 ... The list goes on.

IN the last ten years or so, the only thing I've seen to come out of hollywoord where they even tried to remain true to the original was Battlefield Earth. I guess they couldn't have made it any worse, so they didn't bother.

> You had me untill Star Wars. WTF?

It was a bit tongue-in-cheek. The point I was making was that episodes 1 through 3 were typical modern hollywood in that they took the name of something good (Star Wars), and then proceeded to produce a disappointing crappy movie under that recognized name of quality.

In other words, the only thing "I Robot", the movie, had going for it was the title. It bore no actual resemblance to the amazing book from which it took its title.

And the same goes for "The Phantom Menace", "Attack of the Clowns", and that last one. The only good thing they had going for them was the "Star Wars" name. They bore no actual resemblance to the amazing movies (especially "Empire") from which they took that title.

fucking I Robot..

the essence of the story's foundation is the rule of robotics stating that a robot cannot harm or by mission or action allow to be harmed, a human being..
this of course leads robots to decide humans are harming themselves, decide it's in their best interest to take over the world, etc..
very primal, interesting, strong plot

then the movie is like.. "daim, momma, I aint likin those robots IT IS NOW ESTABLISHED THAT THE MOVIE'S HERO HAS A PREJUDICE AGAINST ROBOTS-- ROBOTS REVOLT, HEY IT SEEMS IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT RULE OF ROBOTICS, WAIT NO-- IT IS BECAUSE A LARGER, MEGA BRAIN ROBOT IS CONTROLLING THEM< AND SHE IS, GET THIS, EVIL.
EVIL ROBOT< I MUST KILL

You seriously don't understand the way the film industry works, do you? Who the fuck is 'they' that just took the Star Wars name to help bolster their movie? Oh yes that's right, GEORGE LUCAS did. Y'know, the guy that wrote and created the entire STAR WARS story and, for lack of a better way to put it, OWNS THE FUCKING RIGHTS TO IT? Way to go there, dipshit. Hollywood isn't just some machine that churns out movies. It's people - film makers, people that love making movies - that want to turn their ideas and visions into works of film. And these people get their ideas from all sort of places, including *gasp* books written by people! Holy shit! And you know what? These people pay the people that own the books, so that they can take the concept and create something new. This is why movies based off books aren't carbon copies of each other. Because the film makers put their own images and ideas into the material. Wow, totally amazing, isn't it?

It's parasites - marketers, focus groups, sub-humans that love making money - that want to turn their retarded politics and ego-trips into twelve dollar admission fees.

Fixed.

Oh, and one other thing.

Bullshit.

The only reason they bought the rights to "I, Robot" was because they'd already completely ripped off Asimov's Three Laws and their lawyers advised them to pay for the movie rights as a way to avoid getting thei asses sued off by Asimov's estate. And once that was done, they just went ahead and used the title because they'd paid for it anyways and it might dupe a few people out of the price of admission.
