Wash, our beloved pilot); also,"I, Robot" on July 16, 2004.

Oh I will definitely be seeing "Dodgeball" as it looks funny. I, Robot I am not really sold on. I think I will wait for rental on that one.
Are you kidding? Have you read the books by Isaac Asimov? "I, Robot" is actually based on a series of books called..."The Robot Novels". They're a great read. There is actually one called 'I, Robot' - they've just recently changed the jacket - it now has Will Smith on the front; but, best of all it has Alan Tudyk's name on the back! If you're into Science Fiction, give it a try!

Don't mean to rain on everybody's parade (and it's been doing that all day here in Austin), but the original post from Cap was way back in the latter days of March. Here's hoping he will soon have another post.

Wow! Have you seen the movie? Maybe we should all wait until we see it before we make such strong, derogatory remarks about it. I think Alan's character, 'Sonny', will give it the compassion to make it a 'brilliant, cerebral, philosophical story'!

Keep in mind that Asimov's short stories were not meant to be one cohesive story, and they had one character that tied them together in any fashion.
Also keep in mind (I'm picking up Jefe's habits now...
) that the makers of the movie I, Robot are NOT claiming to be adapting Asimov's works to the silver screen. They have specifically stated that the only similarity attempted was that the "thread" character in Asimov's works appears in the movie as well. (Much like what was done with Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" - the movie was never meant to be a thought-provoking adaptation of the book. It was meant to be what it was - a fun ride of an action flick.) In light of that, I'm prepared to go see it as an individial piece, totally unrelated to Asimov's written works.
