AI

I saw AI last week.

It dealt with artificial intelligence (robotic) and its integration into society. It was somewhat thought provoking. If you are interested in a thought provoking movie and can deal with the science fiction theme, you will probably enjoy the movie. On the other hand, if (like me) you are very familiar with the theme of artificial intelligence, you may not find much in the way of new ideas. I think Isaac Asimov would've enjoyed this one.

I do recommend it to most people. The science fiction wasn't too far out there, except for the Spielbergian fantasy stuff.

Watching the previews before the movie, I was reminded of how far removed from popular entertainment I am. I had absolutely no idea what to expect from the movie since I hadn't seen one commercial, clip or review of the movie. I had also forgotten that Tim Burton did Planet of the Apes.

Someone told me that Burton is working on a version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, starring Marilyn Manson as Wonka. I wonder how close to the original book it will be. I want to read the book before I see that one. Dahl's stories are always sweetened up when they're made into movies. They usually change the endings to happy ones.

[Blonnie has informed me that it was a false rumor about there being a remake of the movie.)

just letting you know - that was actually a PUBLISHED rumour about burton doing a remake with manson - but the next day the publication took back their 'quotes' and said they were false. some of mansons quotes were taken out of context and then formed to state that a remake was going to happen - but it's not true..

just letting you know :)

Thanks. (I'll pass that along.)

It's just as well. I don't have that much faith in Manson's acting ability.
