There was a great bot in a movie with Rutgard Howard named Max. He may have been an android. I can't recall the movie's name though.Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-12687308183643544562009-04-06T16:24:00.001-04:002009-04-06T16:24:00.001-04:00Okay, I cheated.

I have a cheezy movie channel. Really, someone ought to come out with the "Cheezy Channel" and do movies like Forbidden Planet... another great flick and Big Trouble in Little China, etc. <BR/><BR/> I love Robbie the Robot and his followers like the "Danger! Danger!

And later, my husband says he was thinking of the Star Wars stuff. And I was like, why would anyone think that? Here's a big computer making a reference to a movie about another big computer. What does Star Wars have to do with anything?<BR/><BR/>Playing around with Google, I found some other people making jokes about the implied reference to Star Wars, with John Henry saying that he had a sister, but he wouldn't tell who it was unless someone bought him some legos.<BR/><BR/>I didn't see that the episode made anyone else think of Colossus. How can that be? I realize that it has been decades, but how can you not think about Colossus a bit anyway when you talk about Skynet?<BR/><BR/>Other things I found while Googling this stuff:<BR/><BR/>Ron Howard was going to remake Colossus, but is having a lot of trouble with it. He will probably drop the whole idea.<BR/><BR/>And I found some English department thing about Colossus and other movies that make us afraid. Wargames was also mentioned, as was The Demon Seed, and a movie I'd never heard of before, The Invisible Boy. <BR/><BR/>The Invisible Boy looks just awful, but it has Robbie the Robot, so now of course I will have to watch it on YouTube, as I have never actually seen another movie staring the complete Robbie the Robot.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-84130569192551066732009-04-06T10:52:00.000-04:002009-04-06T10:52:00.000-04:00I do understand that it is sometimes very hard to ...I do understand that it is sometimes very hard to resist googling, so I'll let her get away with this one.
