Well that's really what it is. I, Robot is a collection of short stories about robots, not a novel. A bunch of them aren't really connected.

It would be awesome if they actually did an adaptation of the Robot novels. I want to see Elijah Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw on the screen.

I also want to finish reading The Caves of Steel. I'm not good at finishing reading novels.

Secret Fawful · 07/22/2012, 05:53 pm

Really. Is there an edition then where the stories are all not being told to a reporter by Susan Calvin, because that's what I'm reading. It feels like a novel to me then in spite of what I've been told.

Even so, the movie isn't a compilation of stories, it's just a bunch of elements from various Asimov stories mashed into one story. A bit different, and a lot of people look past that without looking at the details.

Remolay · 07/22/2012, 06:18 pm

They were all published in magazines before being collected in I, Robot. It feels like that because the introduction was added in.

And about the movie, what I meant was that it was a homage. I actually watched the movie first, and was surprised when I read the book to find out that absolutely none of that story was written by Asimov. Not bad, of course.

Secret Fawful · 07/22/2012, 06:23 pm

Actually some of it was in a way. From Wikipedia:

The final script retained several of Asimov's characters and ideas. The characters of Dr. Susan Calvin, Dr. Alfred Lanning, and Lawrence Robertson all approximately resemble their counterparts in the source material.
Sonny's attempt to hide in a sea of identical robots is based on a similar scene in "Little Lost Robot".[11] Moreover, the robot-model designation "NS" was taken from the same story. Sonny's dreams and the final scene resemble similar images in "Robot Dreams", and VIKI's motivation is an extrapolation of the Three Laws that Asimov explored in "The Evitable Conflict," "Robots and Empire," and several other stories.
However, the premise of a robot uprising and of robots acting collectively as a direct threat of humanity appears nowhere in Asimov's writings, and indeed Asimov stated explicitly that his robot stories were written as a direct antithesis to this idea - derived ultimately from Karel Capek's R.U.R. and prevalent in pre-Asimov robot stories.

From IMDB:

Sonny could have eventually become R. Daneel Olivaw (WHich another reviewer pointed out)

And where Sonny jumps out of the window, that initial shot of him in mid-air, arms and legs close to his body, and broken window frame around, this is an illustration from Issac Asimov's Science Fiction Mag.

However, Harlan Ellison wrote a far superior screenplay that was never adapted, sadly.

The mods appear to have given up attempting to combat my 'a cold shower for Doodo!' tribute. Aside from a perma-ban, it's a battle they can not win! I vow to maintain a shrine to the now essentially extinct ~~dodo~~ Doodo! God rest his soul.

As an aside; I'm aware that I'm not supposed to mention the names of banned members but it's Doodo! for goodness sake; the guy's a martyr.

Secret Fawful · 07/22/2012, 07:06 pm

Doodo...the seventh Marx brother.

Johro · 07/22/2012, 07:22 pm

The fucked up Marx brother.

Abandon thread!

Actually, not really. I just wanted to use this gif I found in that context.

St_Eddie · 07/22/2012, 09:53 pm

I've now been awake for 65 hours and counting. I'm so, so tired and yet I can't sleep. What to do, what to do.

So basically Day of the Tentacle.

RetroVortex · 07/23/2012, 08:38 am

Oh God. My head. It feels so bad at the moment.

Its like a throbbing pain, like my brain is expanding from the heat.

Makes it hard to concentrate on anything. The harder I try, the more painful it is.

In good news though, I got an interview for a placement on Friday. I hope I can do well enough to get the job.

That doesn't sound quite right.

You thought about seeing a doctor?

Best of luck to you Retro. I'm thinking of looking for a new job myself in the next few months, and the potential obstacles in the situation are daunting.

I was walking home therse 2 chavs where there yelling at ppl going by then the guy said b4 I even walked up propoly said I called her a sket he lunged at me hitting me as hard as she could then started yelling whats in your bag I just keep pushing her away and keep walking not saying anything til she gave up. I had to stop my self from taking a swing at her.

I was having such a good day till that happened!

DAISHI · 07/23/2012, 11:18 am

I've torn both my calf muscles and strained my glute muscle. Fantastic day of basketball.

der_ketzer · 07/23/2012, 11:22 am

I just posted in the "The Walking Dead" subforum. Now I feel unclean.

*Vainamoinen* · 07/23/2012, 12:33 pm

Relax. You weren't rubbing any zombie innards onto your body to blend in with the rest of the crowd.

To be honest, I think many new posters in that subforum do exactly that.

*divisionten* · 07/23/2012, 12:43 pm

This is a thing. It really exists. No, it's not Colbert or anything. This is a 22 year old NY woman running for State Senate.

They'd only tell me what I already know; that I'm an insomniac. Besides shortly after typing that post, I passed out from exhaustion (still fully dressed, with the lights on, my TV on and this forum still displayed) and slept for 12 hours.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I've had my head kicked in by a group of chavs in the past (though I'm pleased to say that I got a few good swings in myself). Fuck chavs (not literally, they probably carry diseases), they truly are the scum of Britain.

Ten Days That Shook The World.

A wonderful film by the great Sergei Eisenstein. Watch it now, comrades!
