Nit 1: Whomever plays the robot does a better job of acting than Will Smith has ever done.
Nit 2: NONE of the movie EVER takes place in I, Robot. It's closer to the "The Caves of Steel" trilogy, where the NYC detective grows to respect his robotic partner.
If you can get past these two relatively minor failings, then yes, it IS worth your money to see it in the theatre.
Now for the update:
Some of you may know that I am in the Navy. I've never attempted to hide the fact. In fact, I left home sweet home (San Diego until January or so) way back in May. Fortunately, or un... this salient fact might have gone unnoticed. So, I'm clarifying things a little. We went North to participate in Operation Northern Edge; we went South to participate in RIMPAC; now we are going West to participate in JASEX. If you don't know what these are, don't worry. You are either terrorists, or you will inadvertently tell terrorists what and where we are going. In any case, since I just HAPPEN to be on the Three Star Admiralâs Flagship. I'm relatively "safe". Trust me, Iâd rather be a tad closer to the front, doing "SOMETHING USEFUL". But, oh well. No danger, no glory. I know it's not a piece of cake. But, to Occhi and all the rest, I salute you.
P.S. More than slightly drunk. "Drink to the foam", and all that.
Drinks tonight:
1) Blue Hawaii
2) Jose Cuervo Gold Margarita
3) Hurricane
4) Kamikaze
5) Crème De Menthe & Irish Crème
All in under two hours!
:blink:
Note: In small quantities, alcohol acts as a STIMULANT
