Junk Drawer 1-23/ Killer Robot Edition

So two nights ago I rented "Eagle Eye". It is a good thing that I live in Alaska so that if ever some super-computer in the basement of the Pentagon decides that I am a threat to national security I can just drive a couple hours up the road and be off the grid and out of harms way.
I do have some lingering questions though:
- Did some producer say to himself, "That foul mouthed street kid in I, Robot is a big star now. We should remake that movie and make him the star and not Will Smith" and then made it happen with "Eagle Eye" being the result?
- Why did the computer even need Shia LeBeouf's help? Wouldn't the plan have worked even if he hadn't removed the biometric lock?
- Is the fact that the evil computers in both "Eagle Eye" and "Wall-E" are female a subliminal message of some sort? If so, what?

He is at least looking at the basket he is shooting 3/4 court shot on.

You're throwing BRoy under the bus, too...
he was out there with Outlaw hoisting from 3/4 court… does BRoy have a low BBIQ?

Ok I'm taking an unofficial poll
Which would you rather have?
A 42 inch Vizio LCD 1080p with 120 hz with a 2 year warranty
OR
a 50 inch Philips LCD 1080p regular with 1 year warranty.
I’m curious because I’ve got the former at my house right now, but I can swap it for the 50 straight across if I want. Just curious what you guys think which one is cooler for Blazermania and the occasional video game.

Also, for all you Mac dudes out there
Is an Apple Powerbook laptop with a G4 processor 1.67ghz 1gb Ram 15 inch hi-resolution screen worth $350? My buddy has one he says he’ll give me for 350. I think that’s a good deal, but I’ve never bought Apple so I don’t really know. Am I better off going with that and using it to learn the Apple way or should I just go buy a new one from apple.com?
I’ll basically just use it for Bedging, surfing other not-quite-as-cool websites like NBA.com, watching stuff on the Internet (Blazer games and Youtube pretty much), and doing the occasional low-end video production. So, if you’re one of those Mac dudes (or dudettes), I’d dig your opinion and sage advice.

Uhm, "Powerbook"? They have been called Macbook and Macbook Pro for years now.
I’m not sure you can get all current software and OS X to run on it, probably only Tiger (10.4.4) and not Leopard (10.5) and the upcoming Snow Leopard (summer). The specs of the one you mention look good, but the G4 is pretty lame and energy consuming compared to the more recent Intel Core/Core 2 Duo processors (they skipped and abandoned the G5 power processors because they were too energy hungry and would have generated too much heat in notebooks). It was probably build between January 2005 and October 2005 judging from the processor speed you mention.
You probably won’t get anything for $350, at least not with a 15 inch screen which is nice for many applications like editing, so it’s not a bad deal at all. But you might be better off buying a more recent model on eBay, Amazon or something. As far as “something”: Also check out http://store.apple.com/us and look in the lower left corner under “special deals”. There they are selling “refurbished” models there, i.e. ones that have been send in to repair and Apple has checked them, replaced parts if that was necessary and gave them a new warranty. There you can find good deals for 10 to 30% off from time to time. Cheapest MacBooks are selling for $850-899 right now (the older white ones, faster but don’t look quite as nice as the silver Powerbook). And you can get a sexy slim MacBook Air for $999. Which might or might not be the right model for you, I loved carrying that on campus last summer to take notes in class but it probably shouldn’t be your primary workhorse (small harddrive, very few connectors) even though it has more power than the one you describe and is really light to sit somewhere with and surf via WLAN or write/take notes on a full-size keyboard. You would look good on your couch with it :)
Check out http://www.apple.com/mac/ for the current models and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerbook_G4 for the one you describe.

but decide not to share what that fear is or why… just too deep a concern this early en la madrugada….
Ok I’m glad that foul-mouthed punk from I, Robot (and later appeared as Keanu Reaves sidekick in Constantine) was brought up in todays junk. I’ve had a problem with that smarmy goof ever since I, Robot. I didn’t like him then, and when he showed back up in Constantine it was like … oh no, not him again…. I mean, how can he be two different characters in two different movies and act exactly the same in both? That really bugs me. The whole punk slash cool attitude of the guy rubs me wrong too, makes me wish that robot had slapped the smart-aleck stupid look off his face for even thinking he was down with the human race.
This leads me to rant on Owen “Oh gosh, …c o m e o n” for the same reason. Does that guy’s character ever change? I dread watching anything with him in it because its like he’s so plain oatmeal and toast with I cant believe its not butter on top.
Well I deleted the last paragraph for fear of getting banned and will check in for my PTB fix later …

small doses recommended.
I like Owen Wilson, but yeah, too much, too many times and it gets old. If you think about it, the list of actors that can effectively portray almost any character is pretty slim. A lot a character actors are held up as “great”, but have been fairly one dimensional through their career (although possibly very good at their character…think Al Pacino or Clint Eastwood).
Maybe Owen Wilson will soon get into the phase of his career where the zany funnyman shockingly plays the somber role (Jim Carrey’s current phase?). Remember Good Will Hunting? Wow…Mork can act!

Heckler: Hey! You SUCK!
The comedian said nothing, for his mouth was full. Then he swallowed. Then he spoke:
“Security— throw that ####### out in the street? Anyone else got something to say? Then shut up, ladies and gentlemen, and LAUGH. Thank you.”

Robin Williams did stand-up early in his career.
And his skill as a dramatic actor was evident long before Good Will Hunting. Anyone else ever see Moscow on the Hudson?
That said Williams should be barred from doing impersonations in movies unless it’s a sequel to Alladin—otherwise, its just schtick.

A decade?
It was made in ’80 or so, he had a ton of hits in the 1980s.
The level of ignorance around here about Robin Williams screen career is STAGGERING.
The Popeye movie ain’t great, but it’s cute, and part of the problem is that it was based more on EC Segar’s era of Popeye (the original era) and not the popular cartoon we all grew up on. If anyone gets a chance, read the original EC Segar Popeye’s, they are way ahead of their time. Really funny. Segar died at the age of 38, less than a decade after creating Popeye I think, and various other artists have taken over for him since…
But the original strips are still funny, even today.

That’s how I saw it when I was a kid so much, I think.
I was referring to Popeye coming out in 1980, because Engineer Scotty said it took Robin Williams a decade to recover from it, and as you point out he had stuff nearly immediately after Popeye that were hits.
Or was Garp a bomb? I don’t see how it could be.
One thing is for sure: Robin Williams has been in a crapload of movies.

Yes, I do.
One of the weird things about that book (and the film) is the constant juxtaposition of the tragic and the hilarious. In one car, you have a John Wayne Bobbit moment; and behind, you have a girl getting impaled on the gearshift. It doesn’t know whether or not to be serious or comedic, and that makes it—-disturbing.

Now that he is older
He tries waaaay too hard and recycles lots of old jokes, but does it in a very forced rapid fire delivery that just isn’t dignified for a comic of his stature and years.
Jim Carrey has, and will, go through the same thing. You wanna keep that manic energy that made you famous, but after a certain point (a certain age, maybe) that style just isn’t natural for you anymore and they feel like they still have to be ‘that comic’.
Steve Martin, aside from his crappy family movies, made a nice transition from wacky high energy silly comic, to a more adult, less manic comic.
It’d be different if Robin Williams wasn’t just doing the same jokes as 20 years ago, and the same voices. You’re right, it makes you feel bad for him.

Re one-dimensional actors
All too true. Makes you appreciate Meryl Streep all the more. She just received her 15th Oscar nomination, more than any other actor in history.
John Wayne said once that if you want to know what an actor is like in real life, just look at the characters he or she plays.

I'll suggest Denzel as a "true" actor...one of my favs.
unless his character is “moody, tortured soul”, but hey, he does it like nobody else can.
I believe what John Wayne said. To really become a character that an actor doesn’t have experience being in real life takes talent.

Movies With Evil Computers
The best movies with Evil Computers are of course The Matrix, Terminator and T2, and (on a smaller scale) 2001. Wall-E deserves praise, as well.
The worst movie with an evil computer in it? I gotta say Superman III.
Speaking of Shia LeBouf, the real reason that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sucked is that they didn’t find some way to bring Jonathan Ke Quan out of acting retirement (he works as a stunt coordinator these days). Having Short Round as a communist agent—now that would have been an interesting plot twist.

WOPR wasn't evil.
WOPR was a troubled, misunderstood and deeply thoughtful computer. Sure he almost blew up the world. A mere side effect of his growing process, and a small price to pay for the important lesson he learned from a cute teenage couple and their quirky friend, Professor Falcon.

Emancipation?
Is the fact that the evil computers in both “Eagle Eye” and “Wall-E” are female a subliminal message of some sort? If so, what?

HAL was the evilest of computers.
I don’t know if I can call 2001 a masterpiece, but rather a menagerie of brilliant scenes, like a bucketfull of diamonds. Each piece is incredible, but taken together they are a bit overwhelming.
The characterization of HAL is one of those gems, however. Your best friend and worst enemy all rolled into one. Filming a stationary red light in such a way as to give it powerful emotions is art.

Florida
One, its a peninsula.

I kinda smell a movie here—in which the state of Florida is overrun by zombies, but Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade join forces, and defeat the zombies’ leaders in a game of 2-on-2.
The remainder of the zombies are then eaten by alligators.

That movie plot sounds very similiar to a story some kid in my elementary school wrote titled "Tremors 3"
It was a short novel, maybe 10 pages long. The climax of the story included Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins playing the giant worms a game of basketball. Dominique killed the worms by grabbing them and dunking them through the hoop with such force that a chasm to the center of the earth opened up which the worms fell into and died.

Depends on when he wrote the paper.
If the paper was written prior to 1991, I woulda been tempted to have gone with Nique. Especially after that EC Final between the Hawks and the Celtics—one of the best playoff series I’ve ever seen.
Jordan was still a loser, and the Bulls still sucked, at that time.
Of course, after ’Nique got traded to the Clippers, and Jordan started winning rings right left and center, I woulda flunked him out of school for mentioning them in the same breath. The worms should have eaten Dominique, and Jordan should have beaten them solo.

Well why in the hell would they risk their lives to be near a tornado that can pick up a cow and have it moo as it whirls around, but for some reason can’t pick up a 100 lb girl? Ooooo I’ve got a great idea! sigh.

Disaster movies were the rage that year
I liked the one about the volcano under LA.
Not the movie—it sucked—but the premise was cool.

haha yea I totally understand that
My friend and his family have a night every year where they watch disaster movies, and they make fun of each other the entire rest of the year for their choices. Its pretty funny.

Here's a new question to ponder:
If the cheesy 1970s/1980s version of Battlestar Galactica had never been on TV—you know, the one with Dirk Benedict pondering his acting career on a weekly basis—would we have ever seen the modern incantation of the show?
And how is it for awesomeness to rise from the ashes of suckitude like that?

Anyone wanna take the time and redo the Kwame draft
And see where he should have been rightfully picked?
Roy To The World
by Outlaw is Rejector on Jan 23, 2009 6:33 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
That draft sucks by any measure
Were it held today, it would probably go
1) Parker
2) Arenas.
3) Gasol.
4) Joe Johnson
5) Okur
6) Battier. (where he actually went)
7) Z-bo.
8) G. Wallace
9) J-Rich.
10) Jefferson.
Kwame gets drafted in the first round, but I’m not gonna even try to rank the stiffs; after Richard Jefferson the talent drops off considerably.

NICE TRY
You won’t break into my home, hack into my Blazers Edge account, and write anti-Oden propaganda THAT easy. Don’t think I’ve forgotten you still owe me for the time I recognized your back porch and broke into your house and wrote 3 TRADE TRAVIS diaries!
Very sneaky, Outlaw is Rejector… very sneaky.
No, I really appreciate that, but I actually got my sister to send me her Netflix copy of Wall-E, since she is sending the rest of my X-mas presents that didn’t arrive in Portland in time because of the storms, and I just have to drop the Netflix version in the mail, easy as pie.
It should be here already, but it ain’t, possibly because she is a lying whore. OR, because she sent it slow and it’s a lotta books, so it’s media mail. Or, BOTH options could be true.
I still can’t believe I haven’t seen it yet, because I am way into movie robots, and it seemed right up my alley-hole. I was excited to see it but just got so busy when it came out I never got a chance. I read/heard the first half hour has almost no dialogue, which sounds cool to me. I hope they don’t stray too far from that sort of coolness later in the movie.
Because you offered such niceness though, I owe you. And one day, at any moments notice, I must repay this debt.

According to Mortimer his sister is a lying whore
So if Annthefan said she is his sister, that means she cannot be his sister. To be his sister one must be a liar. If she was his sister, she would have said ‘I am not his sister’, thus lying and confirming that she is his sister. She said ‘I am his sister’ therefore lying and confirming that she is not his sister. So completes confirmation that those two are NOT related. Unless Mortimer is lying………….
