Dream Dream Nights

[xyzzysqrl]

Incidentally, when I woke up this morning it was from a dream that I was a Modest, Everyday Businessman who happened to go to work in a suit and tie and make cakes on the twenty second floor of an office building. I'm not sure why I was making cakes there, but it doesn't matter, because ninjas attacked the building a few minutes after the setting was established. So I had a fight scene.

Then the dream stopped, and Will Smith replaced me because I wasn't good enough at kung fu to battle ninjas, so I went off out of the dream to hang out at a pool.

...I question this dream, but it doesn't surprise me, given how hard Will Smith's been rammed at me over the last few days. His new movie, "Will Smith VS. The Killer Robots", looks pretty decent, but I don't think it warrents the ad blitz it's been getting.

(People keep trying to convince me this movie is called "I, Robot". I don't believe them. They're like the people who keep trying to convince me that there was a movie trilogy called "The Matrix". The first movie sounds a lot like "Kung Fu Jesus VS The Killer Computer People", which was a fun movie to watch, but there couldn't have been any sequels to that because in the end Kung Fu Jesus crashes the BBS Of Evil and then flies off to Mars to fight evil THERE. I have to wonder what movies these people who try to tell me otherwise are watching.)

Anyway, while at the pool I got to surf on a giant inflatable Luck Dragon, Neverending Story style.

That was -FUN-. I want to dream that again.

I hear you on the Kung Fu Jesus movie. I'm looking forward to "Kung Fu Jesus at the Earth's Core".

I will never see the horrible piece of trash will smith is doing that they named after a wonderful book written back in the 30's that it holds NO bareing to at all. Granted it VERY slightly resembles the Caves ot Steel series, but only VERY slightly. I, Robot was a collection of short storys written for scifi magizines mostly about a robot named Robby who was owned by a little girl. The robots in that book did not speak, they did not fight, they wern't mass produced, they were only owned by rich people in that book. Even the series of books that followed (the caves of steel series) Robots were only owned by the rich, and throughout the entire series there were only like 2 robots that had gone bad and attacked humans. I hope Asimov comes back as a zombie and eats Will Smithes head for makeing such a horrible piece of trash and nameing it after a wonderful work of literiture

Oh come on, it wasn't Will Smith's fault. In this case, it wasn't even the director's fault. The original screenplay was called "Hardwired" or something like that, and the studio demanded some minor changes and then tried to cash in on the "I, Robot" name recognition. If Zombie Asimov eats anyone, it should be the studio execs.

Zombie Asimov would have to stand in line, I'm afraid, to eat any brains. He should be somewhere behind Phillip K. Dick at the least. Books just don't MAKE it to movies very well, sci-fi books in particular get slaughtered.

That said, I could enjoy "I, Faceless Killing Machine". I just wouldn't think of it as "I, Robot" so much as "Will Smith VS The Killer Robots', a totally unrelated movie.

Besides, at least it's not a Foundation movie. Although I think a Norby movie could do rather well, with either an Iron Giant style animation look or maybe Pixar involved.
