If you ever wondered where "House" (Hugh Laurie) is going now that his series has finished, well, he's going to be REALLY bad guy in this new remake of Robocop.
At last a sexy looking villain.
You know that everyone will be forced out of curiosity to watch this film. I don't pay to go to the movies, so I'll have to wait till it comes to network TV. I just love commercials.

I looked into more of them today and it is.................well....
there has to be an appropriate word, but it escapees me.
"Total Recall" looks terrible, but at least the original hero had muscles.
I fear that the movie future will be left to the "Cartoon" style films (CGI) to the point where NO human actors will be needed.
It could just be me.
MDW does the Netflix ordering, since her taste's and mine differ so badly and there is so little to chooses from that I don't remember seeing (very good memory) that I just had her order "And then there were None" from way back when, plus a list of other great OLD British films. Maybe GB will make a comeback in the industry and provide some quality stuff.

I'm hoping for a new version of Mr. Ed (again as a drama). Also I want a new version of Lost in Space (as a murder mystery series with Will Robinson going around the galaxy solving crimes with his trusty sidekick, "Robot").
The first murder he should solve is "Who Killed Dr. Smith" and the verdict once the case goes to court: "Justified" and/or "Public Service".
Serously, Hollywood used to be about taking a chance, but no more, it's all about milking each idea long after the cow has dried up.
That said: I liked the scene in the original Robocop where the bad dude had programmed a hidden directive into Robo which I shall re-phrase as: Though shall take no actain against an Omni Corp Executive" He's got the guy at the wall as it were but can take no action due to the directive.. He exposes the exec's bad deeds to the rest of the board, including the CEO, who says "Your's Fired" to the jerk,, Robo then says "Thank you" and .. Takes action.
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business
