Take the "I, Robot" challenge  
Expanding on my earlier post, and on comments I made in [info]pixelfish's journal, here's a meme for you:

Rather than seeing I, Robot: The Summer Lackluster Blockbuster, take the cost of the two movie tickets you might otherwise have purchased and get a copy of I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay by Harlan Ellison instead. Or, if you've never read it, go straight to the source. I guarantee you your time will be better spent.

Pass it on.

I read it when it was first serialized. I mostly liked it, but I realized that filming it as written would cost more than the defense budget.

Sure, filming it then would have cost that much, but now, with CGI at the state it's at ... well, it would still cost that much, but there'd be precedent.

I'm definitely in for the ban. I hope that movie makes 10 dollars profit.

Sigh. Sadly, Entertainment Weekly reports that I, Robot made $52.3 million over the weekend. Those aren't Spider-Man 2 numbers, but they're damned respectable.

Bastards.

Of course, the numbers would be slightly higher if it weren't for my "I, Robot" challenge. ;-)

I found this a little disturbing:

Not very clear, but you see the ad for W ketchup, right?

Oh, my God, that's hilarious. A Google ad for W ketchup on my site! Well, hell, I'll take it. It's the only money I'm ever going to see from conservative sources.
