Uhh...

I am dismayed that they would think to make a Rock Em Sock Em Robots movie.  I'm even more dismayed to read that there is already a robot-boxing movie in the works that RESER would compete with, called Real Steel!

And no sequel to Robot Jox? This is a travesty!

So should we be glad they aren't just more remakes? What next? Slinky the movie? How about light bright?

...I guess "Real Steel" actually IS* the Rockemsockem movie... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433035/

sure makes me think of a certain cartoon episode...





* or is it? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433035/board/nest/40454238 ("good" news: more childhood/board games coming to the Big Screen soon...)

... I cannot even BEGIN to fathom what properties will be raped next...


Though it begs the question: When you've made a film out of every crappy TV series / cartoon / game / sex position / occupation / biographies / etc will producers start making original works again??

sounds like it's not terribad as the premise would lead you to expect. Cuz it doesn't take itself seriously! (whew)
http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/movies/2011/10/real_steel_reviewed_robot_boxing_and_the_alienation_of_labor_.html


and an IMDB'er even starts his review with "A Spielbergian movie with a lot of heart" :blink:
http://www.imdb.com/user/ur3168214/comments



essentially an emotion-driven sports/underdog story, like Rocky meets AI/Blade Runner maybe?

...hey now, watch yourself! It's really not that bad of a movie, sure it hasn't aged as well as Blade Runner or Dr. Strangelove, but it's still a decent story...
