And that's what made it work, just redoing the old joke wouldn't have worked right, it needed to be a joke on the joke, and so that's what they did. Our Robocop Remake, the entire thing is amazing.

Not a family movie, though.

In the first he's the permissive blind and innocent hand of the hierarchy of superbosses who don't care that your bosses cut corners and fund a local militia to shoot the striking workers at the coke bottle factory and make you dispose of waste products for cheap by laying a flexible plastic pipe all the way to the lake, or foreclose on homes the company has no claims on, because he doesn't care to, because he doesn't need to care to and because he doesn't want to. Note his warmth and kindness after an exec gets ventilated in his conference room, he talks about the delays and costs in interests payments alone. Ever mob boss tries to have very clean hands and so does he, the bad poo poo is done by lackeys he can drop at any moment for any reason, in particular saying they've gone out of control after pushing them to get impossible results.

It's that Verhoven power, the prediction of the future, much like Starship Troopers is the prophecy for the 21st century in reaction to 9/11 and the Russians and Chinese existing, Robocop predicts the corporate executive.

Olivia Blanche is that kid who sat weird on everything because it felt better but grown up. Either she's amazingly flexible or her spine sounds like a washing machine full of gravel.

I am amused that they don't animate half the dialogue things in this game, cut, sound effect, it's good enough, gotta keep the budget down and the lights on, an attitude I can respect.

That "homeless by choice" bit at the start really has the taste and smell of the Reagan Era.
