Robotland

[chani]

Last week, I came across a rerun of Artificial Intelligence on tv. A.I is  a film I watched in a theatre years ago and didn't like (the first part is okay but the last part is terrible), but something caught my eyes. It was a scene in which the robot played by Jude Law was introduced as he was about to have sex with a client. That robot was a gigolo, and the client was played by....Paula Malcomson!

Her part was small so I had completely forgotten about her being in the movie, but I must say that seeing Amanda Graystone frolicking with a lovebot was weird. I wonder if Ron Moore and his team knew about it...

 
Speaking of robots, here are my favourite tweets of late, from Serge:

"Hephaestus always reminds me of Daniel. RT @beyteper which god do you like most?"  

"Daniel says all wise beings avoid ice unless it is in a cocktail. I would slip and fall. @phoch00 How does your roller-ball work on ice?"

"Where are Zoe and Amanda? It's been a while now. RT @geekyspeaky What's your ultimate weakness?"

I never knew that! And I probably never would have without you, because although I think A.I. is an excellent movie, it pushes way too many emotional buttons for me to watch again.

But it is deeply ironic!

Serge's Zoe and Amanda tweets make me sad. :(

I watched the commentary of the pilot the other day (yes I bought the dvd!)and they said that they weren't sure about Serge and someone (cab't remember whtehre it was Moore, Eick or the director)didn't want to keep the character in the final cut, but the guy who did the voice fought for it.

Fortunately they changed their mind. Caprica wouldn't be the same without Serge Graystone!
