still jiggy

last weekend as i flew to las vegas to inagurate the greatest band that ever lived, i opted for delta song's movie option, and paid $5 to see...drumroll please...I, Robot. now the reviews i have heard of this movie have ranged from awful to god awful, but i decided it was better than doing work, so i plugged myself in and turned on.

the movie sucks. i mean by all objective standards it sucks. the dialog is awful. the "science" is fairly silly. the effects are pretty cool, but ridiculous (robots lighting up in red once they become evil is a good example). but you know what? i still like it, for one reason only, will "big willie style" smith. his heroically overacted, muscularized performance once again proves that the fresh prince still delivers.

as i dug deeper into my psyche, i realized that as will progressed to doing crappier and crappier movies, i liked all of them despite myself. independence day, men in black, enemy of the state, wild wild west. the list goes on. despite the obvious shortcomings of all of them (aside from ID4 which fucking rules), I keep coming back for more. he doesn't mean it. he'll change. he still loves me.

we can make it if we try, willie. we can make it if we try.
