That's not for real, is it? What is it, a movie trailer site or something?

Ok, got my attention, this sounds like it could be a kick ass movie.

There was a big stand up ad for it at the movie theatre. It stars Will Smith if I remember correctly.

Nice, NOONE at my theatre even understood that preview. I hear stuff like
"WTF was that"
"Uh, was that a movie or a commercial"
"Holy shit I came on myself"
...k so that last one i made up

Saw a trailer for this when I saw RotK

Yeah...I was excited when I saw the trailer. Then I found out that it was starring Will Smith.
Looks like I can scratch this one off my list.

Depends on the director IMO. Smith is a decent enough actor, he's capable given a good script.
Bicentenial Man was fairly well done, I didn't have high hopes for it. Though as expected it didn't stand up to the book.

I think you guys are missing the main Robot of all time.
Makes me think of a song ... hmmmmm
Who's Johnny - El DeBarge
There she goes and knows I'm dying
When she says, "Who is Johnny?"
Games with names that girl is playing
All she says is "Who is Johnny?"
I try to understand because I'm people too
And playing games is part of human nature
My heart's in overdrive
It's great to be alive
"Who's Johnny?" she said
And smiled in her special way
"Johnny" she said
"You know I love you"
"Who's Johnny?" she said
And tried to look the other way
Her eyes gave her away
She makes sure I see her teasing
Hear her say "Who is Johnny?"
There's no way to take this easy
Hear her say "Who is Johnny?"
I really couldn't help but fall in love with her
Her being there has made my life worth living
I knew it from the start
That I would lose my heart
"Who's Johnny?" she said
And smiled in her special way
"Johnny" she said
"You know I love you"
"Who's Johnny?" she said
And tried to look the other way
Still pretending
Who's Johnny Who's Johnny
Who's Johnny Who's Johnny
"Who's Johnny?" she said
And tried to look the other way
Her eyes gave her away
(Girls like her) are very special
(Girls like her) don't rest
('Till you too) are a believer
'Till you too have caught their fever
Who is Johnny?
There she goes and knows I'm dying
When she says, "Who is-who-who is-
"Who's Johnny?" she said
And smiled in her special way
"Johnny" she said
"You know I love you"
"Who's Johnny?" she said
And tried to look the other way
Her eyes gave her away
Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?
Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?
Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?
Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?
Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?
Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?, Who's Johnny?

Here's a cool short clip of the robot Sony is working on. It was at CES in Las Vegas this year. I can't find a clip of it dancing but it dances better than most of the people at FF last year : )

It can stand itself back up and jog according to article:

Thanks Shae! I don't know what this board would do without you : )
I can't see that clip from work. Think I need Windows Media 9 upgrade or something.

THIS article is about robots taking over the world, but more like humans -> robots...
I was skeptical the first time I read it, but it isn't extremely farfetched. It is just based upon very limited assumptions about cultural impact, shifts in technological focus, etc.
There is a lot of crap in there, but some of the information is well worth the read (all eleventy billion pages of it)
