Haven't seen any of those.

A new Robocop movie is supposed to be out in a couple of years, with Darren Aronofsky of Requiem For a Dream fame directing it. The first movie was bloody violent, second was a bit campy while the third was just bad, so I'm not too excited about it, though I'm hoping this franchise reboot will have the same success as Batman Begins. Since he's already doing Batman and Terminator, Christian Bale can be Robocop as well :beaten:

LOL. :hehe:

The real violent part was how Officer Murphy ended up being the Robocop guinea pig... :sweat:

I remember that part when I saw it as a kid late night on HBO or Cinemax, and I ended up pulling the comforter over my head. :sweat: I haven't even seen the unrated version yet, which I read was given an X rating (NC-17 these days) and had to be trimmed in order to get the R rating. Apparently there is more to Officer Murphy's scene.

One of my favorite scenes is when the ED-209 malfunctions during a demonstration and some poor guy gets the bad end of it. When that goes wrong, the guy involved in the Robocop project proceeds to use it as a springboard to make his pitch. So twisted, yet I found it funny at the same time.

Yup.

The word "gratuitous" comes to mind. :sweat:

LOL, yeah... Lotsa dark humor in that film. :)

Maggie Gyllenhaal was the only part of The Dark Knight I didn't like. I don't really rate Katie Holmes as an actress either, but she is much prettier than Maggie :sweat:

I have to find a copy of the comic book sometime before I watch the movie, as I've read that it's a really great graphic novel. I didn't know about the novel at all, but once I saw the trailer I checked online for whatever info I could get.

Yup.

Her and Katie are pretty much the same age, I believe, but whomever made her up in The Dark Knight should be fired: she looked old. :sweat:

No. Lucy Liu was the best yakuza boss ever played onscreen. Her authentic sounding Japanese was amazing.

I guess I haven't seen enough yakuza-related films to make that judgment.

I thought the swordplay choreography wasn't that great and Tarantino spent too much effort trying to get style points by interspersing anime, silhouettes, and black and white scenes throughout the film...
