Johnny 5 is alive!

Yeah and he's in the new Robocop movie. Oh well at least Sigourney Weaver doesn't like Ai that's something we've never seen before.

I want to like it, but this trailer makes it seem very cheesy. Here's hoping it's actually a comedy, that might work!

Die Antwoord

It's going to be cheesy as hell, but I'm hoping Die Antwoord are there for a bit of light relief. Unfortunately I think they might end up taking themselves a bit too seriously and it'll just be another movie. There's so, so much borrowed from elsewhere though, it's got to be a parody.

Please let it be a parody...

WTF is up with Hugh Jackmans weird mullet thing??
And why does the robot have a south african accent (why would a robot have ANY accent)?

Why? Because movies...

Now that's cleared up.... looking forward to this. Should be entertaining.

What do you consider to be no accent? The way you speak? Newsflash: you have an accent too - everyone does...

Actually no, I know I have an Irish accent. And yes, everyone has some kind of accent, but it's a question of degrees. A Scottish accent or a deep south US accent is far more pronounced than a neutral English accent.

The point is that an accent is a deviation from standard pronunciation.

I guess that if an AI "learned" language from Die Antwoord, it would have a South African accent. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a scene where Dev Patel leaves and finds the robot has learned to speak while he was away.

Anyway, as I said... because movies.

Hugh Jackmans haircut is still stupid though

Y'all sound like a bunch of Grannies.

As stated in the trailer, the robot is learning from everything around him.
Guess what ? He's in South Africa and everyone has an SA accent...

He-Man!!

It seems like a serious movie, but it's called Chappie and comes across as an action remake of Short Circuit. It looks good but maybe I'll wait for reviews!

because blomkamp is s. african.

I know that.

And Gareth Evans is Welsh, but you don't see the cops in The Raid speaking with Welsh accents....

Look, I don't really care... I was joking about it in the first place, hence the "why? because movies..."

Anyway the real reason is because Sharlto Copley does his voice.

Johnny-Five is... Aliiiiiiive!

Didn't Bloomkamp say it's a comedy? It's still on my list, but I might actually wait for reviews first...
It's based off his older short *related=http://videosift.com/video/Tetra-Vaal-3rd-World-Robot-Police
