Not a 'robot movie,' goddamn Robby just kept stealing scenes that asshats preferred to MY struggle with MONSTERS FROM THE ID!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmm, Tuomas raises a good point. Should cyborgs count? I mean, when Arnie's Terminator was stripped of all that flesh, he sure looked like a robot to me. But what about those skin jobs in Blade Runner? "More human than human", as I recall.

I think that androids count as robots, mind you. Star Trek's Data is basically a robot.

And HAL is a computer, not a robot. Geez.

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Can anyone id the late 80s/early 90s movie where crazed robots colonize the moon and slice astronauts up for parts?

― Tinman: Set to Self-Destruct (cprek), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)
