Experiment gone wrong

Last night, I decided to test a new idea. My experiments can be a little iffy at times, but I think this one went well outside the realms of sanity and I learned things that I think mankind was never meant to know...

I have two monitors and two DVD players... So I played 'Fritz the Cat' and 'The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat' side by side and.... Wow... The horror. What I learned is this: Ralph Bakshi's film was better animated, more coherent, less rotoscoped, and less offensive than 'Nine Lives'. Let me repeat that: RALPH BAKSHI'S FILM WAS COMPLETELY SUPERIOR. And now I must live with this knowledge.

I read the Ellison version of I, Robot and was pretty impressed. It's a shame it wasn't made into a movie.

If you think of the Wil Smith I Robot movie as 'inspired' by the Asimov novel as opposed to an adaptation of it then it's a better movie :-) I was actually impressed with the movie in that they made it a 'mystery' movie -- most of Asimov's Sci-Fis have been mysteries in disguise. Another aspect I liked about the movie is that they kind-of touched upon the Zeroth Law of Robotics (although they never really mentioned it).
