Castor Poe posted:Clip #2 - RoboCop wakes up in a Mass Effect video game. This clip was a bit overlooked, but it was the first thing I've seen so far that I actually liked. Visually, it's pretty amazing. I love the way it goes from Alex dancing with his wife, to Oldman trying to wake him up. Too early to tell if there's any subtext here, but I liked it. Good clip!

The action looks good, but it would've been cooler if he were more robotic, but if they explain WHY in the movie then  . I know why he has a human hand because they want a human hand to pull the trigger.

Robocop was and is a very very funny movie. Is this new one going to be serious and lovely like Total Recall? People just don't get that Verhoevens movies are satires.

And Gary Oldman's character got on a plane to Shenzhen, China that afternoon. That's one of the single most famous stories ever passed around about Steve Jobs and the iPhone launch.

He was a 16-year computer-industry veteran - he'd worked for IBM for 12 of those years - with a mandate to clean up the atrocious state of Apple's manufacturing, distribution, and supply apparatus. One day back then, he convened a meeting with his team, and the discussion turned to a particular problem in Asia.

The reason the original suit works so much better is because of how it breaks up important parts of the human silhouette through some pretty genius shape and color work. Look at how the shoulders stick out OVER the top of the torso sections. The black/metal color scheme is really important to pulling this off. And then all of this is backed up by smart lightning and camera angle choices. AND they did it in a suit that "worked" every day on set without CGI. Now look at this poo poo:

I haven't seen the movie, but clearly that is a prototype of some kind. Perhaps some art designer decided it should look bulky and unwieldy? I don't know, just throwing that out there.

I'd say it's more likely an actually shooting suit before some serious CGI editing and cleanup.

I know? That's why I said he should check that one out by Hot Toys. The figure is 1:6 scale (goes with their 12" Robocop coming out later).

My mistake sir. I thought you were trying to sell him on the HT ED instead of the NECA one. Haha. But it is a beaut. Don't know if I can afford it though. I would at least like to try and get their new RoboCop, it's incredible.

I've preordered the Hot Toys RoboCop with the chair, but I don't think I'll get the ED-209. I have the Keaton Batman but could never justify buying the Batmobile. I don't have room for this poo poo as it is, so the really big stuff is out of the question.

The Robocop design in the original had a goal: to visually communicate how inhuman he was. The design of Robocop in the new film has different goals for a different story. OCP is marketing this as the rescue of a first responder, they want to play up how much of him they were able to save, and it makes sense that as the design is updated, it looks more and more like a human silhouette. This is why getting rid of Murphy's arm in the original film is important, and why saving it is important to this new film.

AlternateAccount posted:I'd say it's more likely an actually shooting suit before some serious CGI editing and cleanup. Nope. That's the prototype. It's seen in the "Wake him" scene.  I believe it was posted somewhere that RoboCop is supposed to have different looks throughout the movie. Set photos released earlier show the final version...  Steve Yun posted:The Robocop design in the original had a goal: to visually communicate how inhuman he was. Also, original RoboCop was a crash program since the ED-209 debut got hosed up and shot Kenney. OCP was essentially grafting ED-209 into a human form. Here, especially with that Keaton video, Omnicorp trying to make a human into a robot.

Oh, yeah I get the prototype thing in the context of the movie, I thought you meant prototype as in they were working the costume out. It still needs a lot of help to get from that photo to not looking like poo poo on screen.

Literally The Worst posted:I like Robert Cop because he walks like this I don't like this other Robert Cop because he walks like this The movie is a nothing, not like the other movie which was a something Personally, I'm loving the nerd-hate. I used to feel bad for peeps when they couldn't relax and enjoy new stuff, like Prometheus or the new Trek or whathaveyou, by virtue of it being new and different (or not the same, the other common complaint). Then one day my friend told me that my open-mind meant I was never "a true Star Trek fan" and let me tell ya, it upset me. But it helped me realize something: death to nerds. Long live Robert Cop! I'm calling it now: remake's gonna be better than the original. Maybe even better than the other remake, Gamer. WYA posted:Robocop was and is a very very funny movie. Is this new one going to be serious and lovely like Total Recall? It looks pretty funny to me in the trailers (the only promo stuff I watch). Like really dark, but funny. quote:People just don't get that Verhoevens movies are satires. It's surprisingly true, like still! And it's worse; even many people who understand that, fail/refuse to recognize any other director's satire (ex: Michael bay).

I thought Gamer was the least interesting of all the Neveldine/Taylor movies and just an okay movie in general, not a particularly exciting or memorable one, so maybe that explains my lack of enthusiasm when it comes to Robert R. Cop (the R is for reboot).
