robocop mini series

[joker]

have you seen the comercials for this? i think it looks pretty cool. its coming on sci-fi

[Vigo Sprax]

Yeah, I've heard good things about it.

[Nightwing]

Oh I dunno. I haven't seen the first movie but the second one was on HBO the other day, and oh my lord was it absolutely terrible, IMO. I'm obviously missing something, but I just hope the series isn't going to be like the movie I saw. As far as SciFi goes, I like The Invisible Man. That's a cool show.

[Vigo Sprax]

The first RoboCop is really good, the second is okay, if you wanna talk bad...look at the third. How can you hate a robot addicted to drugs though?

RoboCop Prime Directives is set 10 years after the movies, RoboCop is older now, theres the threat of him becoming obsolete and replaced, his son is now grown up and working for the evil corporation, and theres supposed to be these assasin babes.

[DR. BELCH]

The first was great and the second was fair (Robocop goes P.C.? Aaaaghaaadda!); have yet to see the third--though you know how sequels go....
Didn't they do a RC series already? I recall enjoying that one--esp. the secretary who was murdered by her boss and whose brain was implanted in a living computer that controlled the whole city (she appeared to Robo in hologram form whenever he needed help)...and there was a villain called Pudface who looked like a cross between Freddy Krueger and Jimmy Durante. That was good fun; this sounds like it'll suck more a** than a lipo clinic....

[Vigo Sprax]

Yeah, there was a television series but this is a mini-series - Its a 6 episode story arc, each 2 hours long.

Yeah. I-man kicks butt. What happened last week? I was gone for the week and missed it.

A few episodes, in-and-out, no attempts to keep extending the series as long as possible to wring as much money out of it as possible. This way the franchise stays fresh and original.


---Still waiting for Scifi channel to pick up Cowboy Bebop and Serial Experiments Lain.

[joker]

yes the first was very good the second decent and the thrid not too good to say the least, i never saw the show, but hopefully this mini series will be pretty good. and one seen the stephen king mini series there doing right now. i forgot the name of it but its about these people who time traveled 15 miniutes into the past. any one know what im talking about?

[icecold]

What was the third movie about? I saw it once a long time ago and never saw it again (I wonder why???).

[DR. BELCH]

The Langoliers. I'll have to read the novellette to see how faithfully the movie was adapted...but in itself, an excellent effort. Bronson Pinchgot was as far from Balki Bartokomos as one can get...he creeped the frig out of me. "They are purpose personified." Plus King, as he does in many of the movies based on his work, did a cameo....

Hey Belch, the revised rules on this board don't allow posters to obscure curse words with asterisks... such as putting "**" after an "a." I know a lot of us have done that in the past (heck, even me), but DG's doing his best to make this a family-friendly place, since we get a lot of kids here. And I'll stand by that. So we all need to be a bit more careful.

[The Mad Hatter]

And I hope I don't sound like an annoying upstart trying to stick my nose in mod business, so I might as well "out" myself... I'm a "phantom" mod within Toonzone. Though DG is undoubtedly the Big Kahuna in this section, myself and a few others try to keep an eye out for problems that may get overlooked, and we have the ability to delete spam and such. I'm happiest when there's nothing that needs to be modded... heck, that's part of why I didn't let you all know I was a mod before now. So, er, here I am.

[Nightwing]

Yeah, sad to say that bit about 10 year old kids these days is unfortunately true, but that don't mean we should encourage it, eh? :-) We've had that no swearing/asterix rule for quite a while, so we stand by it. Ya know, rules are rules. It's just another atempt to hand write morals, which, since it's impossible to do so, it all just relies on common sense. Ya know, doing every little detailed thing we can to keep the place clean.

Anyway, that's funny ya'll mention the third movie cuz I was wondering if there was one. I wondered this ever since I saw the crap ending of the second movie. Like so many movies I hate where they just go on and on with the "plot" until their 2 hours or so is up. At which point, they just.....stop. It just ended! Nothing happened! It was really weird. Anyway, I guess I should really see the third and first ones now.

[Vigo Sprax]

The third one sucked, big time. It wasn't even rayed R, rather PG-13 to cash in on the kid appeal. It was about this underground group of civilians who are being opressed by the evil corporation, Robo Cop teams up with them and he himself becomes hunted by the law, trying to protect whats good.

The only cool part is that he uses a rocket pack.
