So I finally burned 90 minutes on I, Robot. Pretty funny, the first 4 minutes have almost no dialogue but placement for Converse, JVC and FedEx. I was expecting this mind you. I even expected the gay assault, with unending shots of Will Smith’s bizarrely inflated naked body. However.
The film features your typical Mega Corporation running the city – think OCP in Robocop, or Tyrell Corp. in Blade Runner – called USR. Fine I thought, until they expanded the acronym. Yes, it’s present day company US Robotics. The whole fucking film is one long hymn to a second rate modem manufacturer. Can you imagine how unacceptably distracting this would have been if the company was Microsoft or similar? What a shower of feckless twats.
Saying that I enjoyed the robot-on-robot fighting action, so a whole minute or so wasn’t completely wasted. Also pretty funny to see Smith trying some Real Acting. Bill’s quick capsule review: Piece of Shit.
