I can hear those who inked in the Bill- and Ted-bots crowing, "Excellent!"

It's the only thing that'd explain Metropolis being so low, or the inclusion of Star Wars live toys, or Bill and Ted robots??? -------------- Original message -------------- From: Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Again, IMO, all those who were polled on this are between the ages of 18 and 25, and have probably never seen half the movies and shows necessary to make a truly objective decision. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh yeah, and the HAL 9000 is a computer, not a robot. As one reader suggested, if you include HAL (and the Matrix Sentinels), then you're opening it up for other non-robots. In that case, I'd include M5 from the original Star Trek, and Colossus, the computer turned world ruler in "Colossus: the Forbin Project". -------------- Original message -------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Keith Johnson) Lots of good stuff on the list, but I have some quibbles: (1) How in the world could they leave the robot from "Lost in Space" off the list, yet include the robot spiders from the "Lost in Space" movie?? There's not an original or uinque thing in the world about those robot spiders! (2) I'm not sure I'd call the Sentinels from the Matrix films robots, as they're computer programs, not mechanical men. (3) For the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica, I assume they're talking about the original shiny ones, not the humanoid cyborgs of late? (4) And what in the world is so special to earn the battle 'droids or droideka droids from Star Wars spots on this list? They're completely forgettable. (5) Speaking of Star Wars 'droids, it's ridiculous to put the droideka droids, the Evil Bill and Ted, and the freakin' car Kitt from "Knightrider" ahead of Maria from the classic film "Metropolis", which is listed way down at number 38! Who was smoking crack to make that decision?? (6) The line can be fine for humanoid constructs, but I wouldn't characterize Data as a "robot", but an "android". (7) Kitt in the top three??? That must be some potent crack! -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Brent Wodehouse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article2133609.ece [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] "There is no reason Good can't triumph over Evil, if only angels will get organized along the lines of the Mafia." -Kurt Vonnegut, "A Man Without A Country" --------------------------------- Fussy?
