I, Robot
- holy freaking cow. This looks awesome. You know, Will Smith is sometimes a really awesome actor. Yay for sci-fi movies!

Shaolin Soccer
- oh man oh man oh man oh man. What a freaking amazing movie!

Watching those improved my mood immensely. I have also heard many good things about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I might go see it despite my aversion to Jim Carrey.

I don't want to be the only downcast voice , but I hope that Azimov needs a kidney or something and sold the rights to pay for it. Taking that short story collection and turning it into a Will Smith making gay jokes and talking like a L.A. rap artist/cop does not, IMHO make a good tribute to the book.

That aside, it does look good by it's own merits as a story. I just wish they would have made a movie of the series of short stories the way Carvers " Short Cuts " was done.

I think I'm officially old now :)

Nope, I'm with you.
I, Robot was the first Asimov I ever read. It was marvelous and brilliant. This is nothing like the book i remember. I have a feeling that the "rules" will be the thing mose loyal to the book. I am saddened.

There's one and only one book that was made into a brilliant movie in my opinion. Everything else just takes an idea and runs with it. So yeah, it probably won't be quite the same.

That said, the robots look super cool.
