I, Robot

On the whole, less dumb than I expected, particularly after the first half-hour (which reminded me the South Park mormon song, “Dumb dumb dumb dumb”). But what’s infuriating is that you can see, from the details and the dialogues (well, those of supporting actors), that this movie was conceived by people far less dumb than the result is. And that they could have made something much better, but just limited themselves with this neo-luddite crap starring the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, out of sheer cynicism. Hurray for Hollywood.

By the way, hearing for the first time Chi McBride’s real voice is a shocker. The choice they made for the Boston Public French version could quite almost be defined as racist.

By the way again, I wouldn’t mind being told what Will Smith injected to himself as he prepared for Ali, because I’d love to had breasts like these so I can get anyone I want when I go back to Paris.

K : bah j'ai pas dit le contraire, j'ai dit que ça aurait pu être mieux :)

Et pourquoi tu parles d'étoile, tu t'es inscrit à Movielens ? Fais voir, alors :)

Mouais ... un film dans lequel les robots font "bzzzz bzzzzzzzzzz" chaque fois qu'ils remuent un orteil, ça me fatigue très vite.

Il y a néanmoins une thématique interessante. Celle de l'homme présenté comme un nuisible pour lui-même.
L'homme ne fait pas bzzzz bzzzz quand il remue un orteil. Il fait BOOOOMMM, SBLAAAAAM, PAAAANNN, ARGGHHHH.

Un long film publicitaire pour Audi et Converse.

garoo, 7 years ago:

Oui, j'ai même pas parlé des product placements parce que c'était bien le cadet de ses défauts, mais c'est clair que c'est pathétique. Enfin, Audi, ça va encore, mais les Converse vintage 2004, putain, c'est à croire que le réalisateur l'a fait exprès, au second degré, parce que ça le faisait chier qu'on lui impose de faire de la pub.

It is funny that you mention the dubbed voice of Chi McBride. I was just having that discussion with some other "Americans" the other day about dubbed American shows here in France. A lot of the non-white actors seem to get dubbed with very "stereotypical" voices. What I find even more annoying is when they dub a child's voice with an adult who is trying to sound like a child.
