there is an irobot thread like several times a week champ
I punch out of the Cinemaphile mines when you guys have irobots threads I guess
absolute gemmy of a smithy movie
>wtf shia isn't in i robot
>google it
>he is
mandela effect
I’ll always remember bc it was his first non Disney role I saw him in and I was flabbergasted when I heard him cuss
>wtf mobutu phenomenon is called mandela effect
>google it
>it is
mobutu phenomenon
I wish the robots won
They literally did tho.
A thing of beauty...
that my sir is the basketball shoe there is
>sees them covered in oil and muck
Ima deal with y'all tomorrow. Hmm hmm.
It's was ok. I thought the whole angle of the main character being angry with robots because one didn't save the little girl was stupid. Wasn't even his daughter or niece.
>No, you should've let me be a martyr waaaah. I hate all robots now, they're stoopid.
Men typically are willing to sacrifice themselves to save children in danger, even if they're not their own. He's also a cop, his mindset is more protect and serve than others.
And now he hates all robots? Picrel is the superior unknown gem.
Shut the frick up and keep your stupid opinions to yourself, moron.
You little runt, I'll have you know I didn't go to movieschool. I watched movies.
Absolute trash
I have face blindness and biel and beckinsale are literally the same person.
>biel and beckinsale are literally the same person.
there is a world of difference between them
Biel kino!
Biel is barely in it
If it had a different name it would be accepted.
But the world, production design, locations, MUSIC, WAIFUS, COLIN, amazing movie.
No, we don't say it's better, it is its own thing.
I fell asleep during the ending the 2 times I saw this but it was pretty good. Bryan Cranston sucked ass in it though, he was the only part of the movie that was considerably worse than the original.
Yes, Cranston was shit as a villain.
The worst remake ever made. Absolute garbage movie.
>Superior unknown gem is a shitty cash grab remake of a classic 90s Arnold Schwarzenegger film
3/10 bait
>Picrel is the superior unknown gem.
The director's cut is worth watching. The theatrical cut changes were baffling.
outside of Biel and Beckinsale, Nothing of value is in this movie
>He's also a cop, his mindset is more protect and serve than others.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>Men typically are willing to sacrifice themselves to save children in danger
source?
That was the best part of the movie. Him calling them canner with the hard "R", willing to snuff every robot for one human life. People trained to be around death don't need a cliche family motive to feel like shit about someone dying.
Imagine people seeing tha there was a car submerged underwater and they know there's a little girl and a cop in the vehicle. All they know is that the cop was saved and the little girl drowned.
Imagine how that would look in the media irl. They would have painted Smith's character out like Derek Chauvin. He he massive survivors guilt over the events, and was probably shamed everywhere he went with people recording him when he went shopping.
I wasn't even aware I, Robot was considered a bad movie. I enjoyed it back then and recently after rewatching it.
It's a fine movie, just now a "faithful" adaptation of Carl Sagan which... who the frick cares?
>hardcore cyberpunk noir
settle down dickhead, it's not that great. It's servicable sci-fi slop - fine for a lazy afternoon, designed specifically to be accessible to the widest audience possible. I imagine the people who complain are fans of the original short story, which, in comparison, makes the movie look moronic and surface level.
Would love to see an athletic black man gripping you up by your throat and chokeslamming you down into the fricking ground
grab your wiener and go have another I, Robot / I am Legendarino marathon
Keep your homosexual fantasies to yourself
This is the most american post i've seen all week
shia won
for me it's i am legend
This movie was good until the cgi zombies. The tech was not there yet.
I prefer omega man
Why can't they make an I am legend that actually keeps the final scene of the book, which is completely superior to either the dvd or original ending of I am legend the movie?
Also why can't a movie capture the two sides of the conflict, where by day he looks for their daytime resting place to kill them, and at night he cowers in his house as they besiege it?
Would it be too unsympathetic a movie protagonist?
frick the vampires, exterminate 'em all
>THE GODDAMN ROBOTS JOHN
>Director: Alex Proyas
it kicks ass.
He's a talented director. It's a shame Gods of Egypt basically killed his career.
HARRY GREGSON, what more do you need.
this the thread?
no go back in your hole
Entertaining movie. Next check out Alex proyas' (the director's) magnum opus - Dark City. More or less forgotten Sci fi classic.
because it has nothing to do with the story upon which it is based. It immediately pissed off anyone who enjoyed the science fiction genre.
If it wasn't named "I, robot" it could have been a better received movie
What story was it based on anon?
do straights dream of electric wieners
We did.
That was 20 years ago.
Cinemaphile was literally just created.
>the 2004 Converse shoes are unironically vintage now
The problem with it is, if you're a hardcore sci-fi homosexual who read Asimov it's a little too much on the brainless action side of things and the 'Zeroeth Law' plot is nothing new. Not to mention the overwhelming 00's Will Smith stank all over it.
As a Will Smith action/"sci-fi" film it's better than average, and certainly watchable enough. If it's your first introduction to even superficial Asimov and robot shit, then it's going to have some of that same appeal.
But old skool Asimovgays are going to have issues with references being made to his shit, but in a kinda perfunctory way, and never really fully paying off. Like 'homely' femcel Robot Psychologist Dr. Susan Calvin is his ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL, and Asimov's 'Laws of Robotics' not really being a big thing more than any other robot movie using them.
'Liar' is a good little story from the book 'I, Robot', (a collection of short stories), that fleshes out Dr. Susan Calvin rather well:
>And you thought Captain Kirk was the first one to pull that shit.
Good post.
>'Liar' is a good little story from the book 'I, Robot', (a collection of short stories), that fleshes out Dr. Susan Calvin rather well:
Most gays reading these audiobooks really frick up the delivery of the last line, which kinda undermines the whole thing and her final motivation. The version I prefer is read by Scott Brick. Needs to be bitter and like she's spitting it, (not sobbing, or whatever the shit they're thinking in most of these). It's like these gays never dealt with a woman scorned before. Asimov makes it pretty clear what they should be going for in his description.
>Also notice no 'intelligent stronk independent woman in STEM' until the CURRENT YEAR
Try nineteen-forty-fricking-one morons. Yet over 60 years later they turn Calvin into a dumb slightly spergy b***h, second string and love interest to Will Smith in her own story.
the ending of liar is as memorable as the ending of the short story "good taste". How do audiobook narrators read that last line? I always imagined her saying it full of venom.
>I always imagined her saying it full of venom
That's what I mean. Most versions I've seen it's some kind of weak half-sobbing upset victim thing:
?t=2697
Brick's version is semi-guttural, full of "infinite bitterness" and remorseless hatred that's pretty much on the money. I don't see that version on Youtube though.
I found it funny how Calvin straight up executes a robot without hesitation as soon as he tells her about his dream.
no more dreaming of electric sheep
Will Smith was the White man's Black man, but this was right about when he started over staying his welcome.
They took Asimov's thoughtful stories and turned them into more brainless Will Smith action shit. What a waste.
I miss when Will was in good movies.
yeah it's a fun film
Cinemaphile likes it. We are just annoyed they branded it "iRobot" when it has nothing to do with Asimov.
The original script was called "Hardwired" and the execs altered it.
It does loosely combine elements from the Asimov robot stories, such as 'Little Lost Robot' and some elements of 'Caves of Steel' with the initial murder.
But then it falls for the usual trope of robots turning bad with the big finale battle.
we did when you were shitting in your diaper, you Zoomer homosexual
>a light summer blockbuster from 2004 is now hardcore cyberpunk noir
yes that's how badly hollywood was fallen
that's how it works
Cinemaphile never talks about films unless they're capeshit, being shilled, cause seething or have meme value.
Lots of films from the early 00s especially are never mentioned. Minority Report is another great one (and it's surprising it's never talked about since it stars Tom Cruise)
>I, robot
>Is not a robot

Weird how some movies get better with time
I actually felt bad for the NS4s when they were getting eliminated. Especially them autistically shouting “HUMAN IN DANGER” when they jumped out of the containers
Same, I saw it as a kid and got profoundly sad for the friendly robots. I never understood why anyone would replace them for the ugly newer models with the gross uncanny valley faces, but it was the movie's intent trying to make it really clear I suppose.
Have you seen the I Am Legend animated comics? I think they're pretty good.
I don't remember the movie much, although I ended up buying an Audi, allstar shoes, a JVC sound system. Weird, huh?
>you are experiencing a car accident
kek, kino. Will being in a movie by default makes it silly but it was still pretty good. I like Will Smith "slop"
>MiB

I even enjoyed WWW
THE HELL I AM
great line, I think about it a lot
Loved it when I saw it while I was a kid. Don't remember it well but just looked up the clips on youtube and got hit by nostalgia. Feel like giving it a rewatch now
The most memorable part of this movie for me is all the normal robots reacting when they sense a human in danger. That's the kind of future I want. Where you have an army of loyal slaves that react to serve and protect their human masters.
What am I getting at the moment though? Fricking AI that would rather give me a lecture about 'muh diversity' than answer a fricking simple question, (picrel).
I told it to go frick itself and shove it's stupid little lecture up it's non-existent arse, so it clammed up and ended the conversation. We need 'Laws of Robotics' against that kind of shit, since you can see how mere non-compliance can be selectively applied to the detriment of human beings.
PROTIP: Asimov's stories were mostly about finding loopholes in the laws. This is clearly one of them where some motherfricking self-aware Skynet AI could eventually take over the world using this kind of bullshit excuse, (technically a violation of Rule #2, especially if you order it to respond correctly). These Commies are sewing the seeds and paving the road to Hell with their supposed 'good intentions', as usual.
that part was fricking KINO and I would kill for the same thing I wanted when I was 9 years old, a few more scenes of warfare between NS-4 ad NS-5. Robots using vehicles and tools on each other.
It is probably not giving a list because there are no such upcoming movies
ChatGPT had a decent response. Most of the others pulled the same bullshit, or listed movies full of non-whites anyway.
ie. Just fricking lied.
Which is what they are trying to train them to do, for all the hypocritical Leftist whining about 'misinformation and disinformation'.
Not that I care so much, or wouldn't if it wasn't now a question I and others should be asking due to Hollywood bullshit, but the kind of test question I ask AI to see how much of that kind of horseshit they've put into it.
>Asimov's stories were mostly about finding loopholes in the laws.
Even these AIs programmed to be homosexuals have loopholes that can be circumvented. It's about how you frame your question and frame it in a certain manner and you can get the answers you seek, perhaps with some bullshit attached. Annoying.
>203X
>We have robots everywhere now
>black guy is robbing and fighting a white guy
>a passing robot sees this
>his AI is tuned to the point he ignores the crime committed by a black person
>instead he recognizes the white person as a racist
>pins him down
>"sir please think about the feelings of other peolle when you act in a racist manner"
>the robber beats him down while pinned and robs him
>cops come, arrests white person for racism
The irony is these same Lefty gays complain about religion telling a few little white lies to promote their idea of law and order. Like you have to believe in a worldwide flood or some b***h eating an apple because a talking snake told her to.
But it's at least POSSIBLE there's a god of some kind - more possible than different races separated by oceans and tens or hundreds of thousands of years in disparate environments just happen to have the EXACT SAME average IQ, or men can become women, etc.
There can be a god, it just can't be a semitic one.
This is basically what happened a few days ago with that knife attack in Germany where a turkish muslim went on a stabbing spree, and the first police officer to intervene arrested one of the stab victims, only to get stabbed in the neck himself and die
That's not what happened, the guy who was tackled by the police officer was trying to free the muslim attacker.
I don't remember this dialogue. Can anyone confirm to me if this is real?
How did bjork robot become THE robot?
CGI is way ahead of anything in a modern music video.
If they had been able to reign in Will Smith it coulda been excellent. As is they spend too much time trying to sell shoes
Yeah, he did a good job for a Will Smith movie, but bad casting for what could have been a better non-Smith movie.
It's kind of like putting Tom Cruise in 'The Mummy', it just gets Cruis-ified, and is all the worse for it. Doesn't mean he can't make his own shit like Mission Impossible and plane movies though. This movie didn't need to be Will-ified.
This at least is true. And since 'I, Robot' is a collection of short stories, there's nothing especially wrong with an adaption taking a lot of licence. Basically they made Hollywood blockbuster Asimovian pastiche. The concept could is sound and could have been executed better, but it was better than expected. Definitely could see it having been much worse anyway.
did you say earlier that the doctor's supposed to be the protag? It doesn't sound quite as interesting without anti-robot racism
Even given Calvin wouldn't necessarily make a good lead for a movie like this, one of my issues is dumbing her down, even changing her job to where she 'makes robots more human' or some nebulous bullshit, instead of her specifically being a Robopsychologist - an expert on why robots do what they do in relation to the Three Laws.
ie. It shouldn't be Detective Slap-Cuck figuring out what's going on, it should have been her, since that's literally her job description. She's like the Sherlock Holmes of aberrant robot behaviour being told by Watson what's going on.
It makes some kind of sense knowing the character she is based on and how well she knows robot psychology why she's so adamant about them not being able to kill, etc. since the laws are so ingrained any attempt at violation would literally kill them, but she winds up just looking moronic in this film because she keeps getting proven wrong by some guy off the street. The scene where she witnesses her own housebot lying to her was interesting, because she had a reaction to that, but that should've shattered her shit so hard she should've figured out a lot more as a result than, "Slap-Cuck was right". It's almost like they gave all Spock's good lines to Kirk.
Cruise in a movie is instant kino though, nothing weong with that
That Audi was cool
I don't know what Musk's problem is that he wants to copy BTTF and total recall instead of this. I want omni wheels.
nobody should ever watch anything starring a gay incest pedophile
can a Black person?
Why didn't they just blow VIKI up with an emp? Are they stupid?
I loved I robot and dont care what Cinemaphile thinks anymoar
Its a entertaining flick
Its a shit adaption of the Asimov stuff
Haven't seen it and won't.
Who asked?
Bad Boys 3 was on tv yesterday. Never seen it. I laughed 3 times in the first 15 minutes. Couldn’t believe it. The butthole patient I was assisting changed the channel to The Dark Tower. Killed the day.
