    • Where is Johnny 5? He's a robot with humanity. Even Stephanie recognizes that "life isn't a malfunction." He is a robot who is alive and human. While he may not pump blood or vomit anything other than definitions from an encyclopedia, he warms the hearts of people watching Sunday afternoon movies in the 90s. He's so human that he gets dipped in gold in the sequel. It was some sort of reward for being cool to society or something, but you know that what he is really excited about is that he will be blinging, and ladies love bling. Johnny 5 is an endearing womanizer who I would like to party and/or hang out with.

      This is why I believe you did not need to make a clip in defense of robots any longer than one sentence: "'Johnny 5 is alive.' I rest my case."

      *Footnote: After rereading this, I have realized that I care way too much about that movie. I wrote an essay about him for chris'sake, which is I guess, another reason that he is the most human robot ever conceived of.**

      **Not including Roombas.

    • Brett ... you missed the most supportive and helpful movie Robot of all time .... Robbie the Robot of "Forbidden Planet"

      He supplied the visiting crew with food & whiskey!

      He even tried to warn the crew about "monsters from the Id" ... but his conditioning prevented him.

      One of the most creepiest robot was Gort in "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

      I have memorized the "fail safe" code to prevent him from destroying the earth if he ever returns.

      Gort ..."Klaatu barada nikto"

    • I can't watch First Contact, that's how terrifying the Borg are. Just wait till you have a tube in your nose, Brett. You'll be singing a different tune then. Oh wait, no you won't, cause you'll be a mindless drone.

      I'm pretty sure a tube in your knows is stage 3 of the 'Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" right before the testicles in a vice and right after pickled nipples.

      What you say? You can't pickle the nipples while they are still on someone? Oh...oh...I'll prove you wrong.
