Avi left Marvel for shit like this?
Should be better than that "Slutz" movie... by Anna Valerious	Apr 8th, 2008 08:47:07 AM
Or it will suck like that "E.T." ripoff "Mac and Me".
robots by jackofhearts29	Apr 8th, 2008 08:47:30 AM
Ugh.. sloppy thirds Will the robot have collagen-enhanced Bratz lips?
The Director of Bratz and Robosapien? by Corterville	Apr 8th, 2008 08:48:16 AM
What's next? LEAPFROG-THE MOVIE?
Sounds like a small oldiers rip off,or short circuit! by BatPsycho	Apr 8th, 2008 08:49:12 AM
going to suck!
Should be better than... by Batman Begins Sucks Ass	Apr 8th, 2008 09:02:37 AM
...You guessed it, Batman Begins. Thank you very much.
More "malevolent corporate interests" ... ugh ... by The Wolf at the Door	Apr 8th, 2008 09:05:16 AM
Right, I'm sure this movie's really going to stick it to them. What, does the robot stand in the way of their massive tax cuts? Does Robosapien put the screws to the fat cats by exposing their labor rights abuses or the way they stifle competition? Maybe the robot gets sick, and the corporation won't pay for his medical bills despite his health care plan ... Maybe it's a chilling expose of the redistribution of wealth over the past two decades that has seen corporate profits (and CEO salaries) skyrocket while the middle class American paycheck stagnates and suffers the blows of a falling dollar. I find few things so cynical in Hollywood than the cliche of the "malevolent corporate interests," brought to you buy those corporate interests in a two-hour long commercial for their products. "Oh, will this edgy, hip new toy show those suits what's what? Now you can play 'stick it to the man' at home, kids, with this BRAND NEW SUPER COOL FUN ROBOSABIEN DOLL!!!"
No. by spookyjesus	Apr 8th, 2008 09:24:02 AM
Fuck this movie in the ear.
Up next... by Kid Z	Apr 8th, 2008 09:26:10 AM
...Ball-In-A-Cup: The Movie! "Catch the ball in the cup! Dump it back out, but don't worry! The ball won't go anywhere, the ball is attached to the cup! Now catch the ball in the cup again!"
I think a robosapian on the run from by Datascream	Apr 8th, 2008 09:35:29 AM
space pirates or something space born would be more interesting, regardless of this being one of the most stupidest things I've ever heard. Are they gonna have a monkey too? Cause that'll sell the shit outta this movie.
How the mighty have fallen. by Darksider	Apr 8th, 2008 09:36:14 AM
It's amazing how all of the Marvel properties are looking good or being rebooted since Avi Arad left. "It's about relationships..." Fuck you! Good riddance! Enjoy your future Transformers wannabe flop asshole.
Just goes to show... by Lord John Whorfin	Apr 8th, 2008 10:08:54 AM
Avi Arad and his retarded son weren't the creative part of anything Marvel ever did. Arad oughta be ashamed of himself.
Hey, did you hear? by Lord John Whorfin	Apr 8th, 2008 10:10:47 AM
There Will Be Blood is out on DVD! You probably haven't heard! Paramount Vintage and Miramax really dropped the ball when it came to advertising this release...
Since we are talking about by Series7	Apr 8th, 2008 10:23:41 AM
Crap directors you all should sign this for Uwe Boll to stop making movies. http://tinyurl.com/5mhgt7 I hope this is true. Say what you will about Bowl Movement but he does stick to his word, like boxing.
Lord John Whorfin by Series7	Apr 8th, 2008 10:27:17 AM
Is that like when Bonnie and Clyde came out DVD a couple of weeks ago?
by the way	Apr 8th, 2008 10:44:45 AM
Wow. Misery loves company. I, too, hated Arad.... so much, that I actually feel bad for him, now.
The 'very cool' Robosapien line? by Reel American Hero	Apr 8th, 2008 10:50:58 AM
I don't know which is more shocking, somebody actually thinks those things are cool, or the fact that someone thought those toys would make good movie fodder. What's next, Michael Bay's Tamagotchi starring Shia Lebouf?
Can somebody please slap Arad? by L33TH0TT13	Apr 8th, 2008 10:56:44 AM
First he manhandles Sam Raimi et al. into putting Venom into Spider-Man 3 and now this... What's next? Furby: The Movie?
So can we finally close the book on Arad by Lenny8	Apr 8th, 2008 11:23:39 AM
.. as a serious contributor to fandom film? While we're at it, let's shut that book on Goldsman and Abrams, too. Fandom learned that Schumacher was a hack, albeit two Batman movies too late. Let's not repeat the same with these three dorks.
Word, Lenny8 by SpencerTrilby	Apr 8th, 2008 11:29:48 AM
couldn't have said it better.
say what you want about the lameness by chiahead	Apr 8th, 2008 11:48:56 AM
of this movie concept. say it's derivative of Short Circuit, say it's antiquated and completely unappealing. I say I'm just glad SOMEONE's shooting in New Orleans and giving it a piece of that action that LA and New York and Vancouver take up most of the time. Go Robosapien! Or Johnny Five...
WILL HE FORCE SOMEONE TO SHOEHORN VENOM IN... by Err	Apr 8th, 2008 11:57:55 AM
like he did to Raimi in Spidey 3?
read the treatment for this movie. it is truly awful. by Mr. Waturi	Apr 8th, 2008 11:57:55 AM
Not a single original idea or joke. Reads exactly like a story a group of toy executives would come up with. I'll be shocked if this makes it to theaters.
I thought this was called Caprica by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Apr 8th, 2008 01:01:05 PM

cough! by DJBUBBA2000	Apr 8th, 2008 01:15:23 PM
Short circuit cough!
What happened to the STRETCH ARMSTRONG movie? by Rex Manning	Apr 8th, 2008 01:31:24 PM

Robosapiens:Rebooted!?!?! Finally the Prequel is first!!!! by Diagnostic	Apr 8th, 2008 02:02:07 PM
Avi understands how to make movies!!!! Huzzah!!!
i don't even know what a 'robosapien' is and by vaudeville villain	Apr 8th, 2008 02:55:36 PM
i think this movie is going to stink like three-month-old canned heat!
Skkkrrrp Skkkrrrpppp! Hear that? by BiggusDickus	Apr 8th, 2008 05:38:26 PM
...That's the sound of the creativity barrel being scraped. How much cheap Hollywood nose-candy do you have to snort before this sounds like a good idea?
tickets for this movie will cost $100 by Datascream	Apr 8th, 2008 06:19:48 PM
and you'll be bored with it after 20 minutes.
And after this, we can look forward to... by r_number6	Apr 8th, 2008 06:38:08 PM
Robosapien 2: Rise of Robo-Raptor!
Malovelent corporate intersts by redshirt	Apr 8th, 2008 06:45:08 PM
What, the bad guy is The Sharper Image?
HELP STOP UWE BOLL!!! by The Devlinizer	Apr 8th, 2008 09:42:59 PM
He announced if the following online petition reached one million signatures he'd stop making movies!!! Lets kick his ass!!! Petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/ RRH53888/petition.html Source: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStor y?cId=3167288
Man, the budget for Iron Man 2 is really small! :O by MrMysteryGuest	Apr 8th, 2008 11:32:39 PM

Ummm... by Gozu	Apr 9th, 2008 10:51:48 PM
"Malevolent corporate interests?" So Wow Wee Toys and Avi Arad are the villains, which don't get me wrong, makes perfect sense.
"a boy who befriends a robot on the run... by snappy	Apr 10th, 2008 03:47:09 AM
...from malevolent corporate interests." That'd be Short Circuit then.
