…are doomed to watch crappy, crappy movies.
Entertainment Weekly has always been cursed by a five second institutional memory. Every once in a while they’ll do a list of the “50 Greatest Stars of All Time” or something and Tom Cruise will come in at number 3.
Anyway, they recently ran a poll on top “Robot Movies” and this was what you could choose from:
Star Wars (not really a “robot movie”), Blade Runner, Short Circuit (!!), RoboCop, Terminator 2 (but not Terminator), Iron Giant, AI (!!!), I, Robot (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), Transformers (!!!!!!!!), and WALL*E.
The oldest movies, of course, are from the 80s, because that’s when they created film. Screw Metropolis and Forbidden Planet and Silent Running and, well, a dozen other movies, I guess.
