This is the Robocop that I really wanted to see when I saw Robocop as a kid. This modern trailer was born straight from my childhood imagination of what I wanted from that original film, yet as an adult, it has turned to ash in my mouth.

Do not confuse this local station with their better-known national opinion-brothel. This guy is legit.

As a disclaimer: I care nothing about Detroit, I avoid buying American cars, I never watch Fox news (or any TV at all, really), and I have an ingrained hate for most journalists, but I do care about people.

This reporter is a Detroit native, and after leaving for several years (education, career, etc) came back to find a city steeped in shit. There are several clips of his reporting online, and every one is something that should be celebrated as a victory by the common man over a system that cares nothing about him (links below).
He can be a bit contrived and over-dramatic at times, but I would say he excels at walking the line between what's viewable on television, and the rage that anyone who is actually paying attention to what's happening around us would feel. He is amazingly tempered in his demeanor, and I can only assume he has to do more than one take in order to not show his anger.

Regardless, I read a lot. I hardly ever read non-fiction. His other reports were so genuine and passionate that, just last week, I checked out the book he authored titled "Detroit". I've yet to have time to open a page, but his work and what he is doing makes me eager to read it. The news clips of his that I have seen made me consider the guy as the pinnacle of journalistic reporting in the US.

The guys appearance might make him look like a douche, but I really feel like this is the modern day hero that we write comics about. Nothing will save the city of Detroit outside of Robocop, and I think it's destined to be abandoned and forgotten, but we should all support people who's actions are obviously in favor of those who need our help most. Even if they're on a Fox channel.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

From what I've read, Detroit really is a dying city - even though they've made a big effort to attract high-tech businesses to the down town. What happens when a city like that basically disappears? Time to bring in Robocop.

Only one more month till Peter Weller's 65th Birthday!!

*edit: Replaced with entire episode, 3 films critiqued are: Robocop, Snow White, Withnail And I.

Looks like ED-209 from Robocop near the end.

YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS TO COMPLY.

We're only a couple of years from the original Robocop future.

Robocop 2 kid grew up and isn't dealing nuke.. but switched to Dominos. Can't tell if that's a step down or not..

>> ^sixshot:

ugh... when will they stop ruining the classics? The reason why Robocop was a success in the first place was because he was big, robotic, and menacing. He moved like a machine too.
I see this clip and all I see is something that looked like Iron Man.
Who's the prick to greenlight this movie?


You might not realize this but when they do a remake/reboot, they actually don't touch a single frame of the original film. Not even a little. Also, they do not enter people's homes, confiscate DVDs, and replace them with remakes.

I see this weird argument all the time, especially lately, about remakes "ruining" the originals somehow and it's always kind of baffled me. But I can deal with a little bafflement.

The original Robocop film was awesome, very surprised how different the new version looks - he looks more like a guy in a costume than a robotic cyborg. They could really do with a narrow visor across the eyes like the original just to give us some familiarity. Not sure what to make of this reboot yet other than the new look is awful!

Just watched Robocop on blu-ray yesterday. Johnson (black guy with glasses) is hilarious with his creepy perma-grin in that one. And in this clip it's hilarious how closely he's mirroring the old man's body language.
