I turned it off right after Lauren mentioned the Johnny Five correlatin that I’m sooooooooo sick of hearing everywhere.

People don’t know what the hell they’re talking abut. Like Johnny Five was
even close to the first robot to have binocular shaped eyes.

Ugh.

Inspirational material

I think it’s often necessary to discuss and consider inspirational material for film work, but thanks certainly for your opinion.

True.

But, Stanton has already stated that he didn’t even realize that other robots used the binocular eyes at first… so he most certainly was not inspired by Johnny Five.

Didn't realize?

I think it’s the responsibility of a filmmaker to research what’s out there first.

That’s kind of irrelevant to anything that I said or the point I was making, but it is true…

I also think it’s the responsibility of people trying to run a movie website to do the same, but you guys didn’t.

THEATER, TV, DVD & BLU-RAY REVIEWS

  • Blu-Ray Review: After ‘New Moon’ Sets, Pick Up ‘Near Dark’
    Near Dark

    CHICAGO – It’s funny the way that the Blu-Ray market has developed in that success of a new title can often bring an old one to the HD format more quickly than it otherwise would get there. In the case of the great “Near Dark,” it’s the success of two films, one that shares a theme (“The Twilight Saga: New Moon”) and one that shares director Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”). Whatever the reason, don’t fail to include arguably the best vampire movie ever made in your collection.

  • TV News: Premiere Date Announced For ABC’s ‘Lost’
    Lost
