shrader Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I like "Chappie". Can't be too bad with Hugh Jackman. The robot should be named Johnny 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 The robot should be named Johnny 5. Didn't people say the same thing about Wall-E? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Didn't people say the same thing about Wall-E? He did have that look. Everything I heard about chappie was more about the story than the look of the robot though. War robot that develops free will? Yep, that's Short Circuit. I hope Steve Guttenberg pops up randomly in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Saw Get Hard this past weekend, very funny movie. Though I do question why the parents of the five kids in front of me, all under 10 years old, would bring their kids to a R rated movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
