I’m catching the start of the American Football season, a game between two very good teams that I find myself interested in despite myself. Often on Thursdays I go to a bar to have a beer or two and watch sports and crank out a blog episode or three.
I’m at home this week, a change that may merit its own episode, or maybe not. I’ve got the game streaming to my computer in our office, commercials and all. Ain’t technology grand?
I just saw an ad for a movie coming out sometime soon. It looks like a very expensive version of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots
Although they give the movie some name that does not include the words ‘rock’ or ‘sock’, I would be very disappointed if at no time does one robot punch another robot in his shiny metal chin and make its head pop off.
Well, except for the part where I won’t actually see the movie at all.
I’ve seen the trailer a few times, and they show the scene where the robot’s head gets knocked off. So much for saving the best bit for the theater.
Is that the Hugh Jackman movie? If so, I saw the previews for it when I went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean in May. I swore they already made that movie with the bots or maybe I am confusing it with a Van Damm movie (yes that was a joke)
It’s based on an old “Twilight Zone” episode that starred Lee Marvin, titled “Steel.”
