Got your email finally. FF11 took my soul. Damned Japanese. Sent a reply just now.

Looks like Number 5 may be slightly outdated and outmoded. You know, with Wall-E and all ;)

I do wonder what goes into writing transformer bios, I can spend a good half hour looking at the bios two or so figs that blow through here. Do they write it on friday night after imbibing vast amounts of alcohol? Did they turn unicron into a bong? Or do they just use a dartboard of hilarity?

Why'd the Heroic Decepticons blow up Tyrest University?

(Reply) (Thread)

Dude. Seriously? Didn't they already remake it?

Except it was a highly advanced stealth plane.

And Jamie Foxx.

Oh, I remembered the comic. I just didn't feel like searching your history...

I was planning on making one of your fans do my research for me, but oh well... Having you do it is much more awesome.


DANCE MONKEY DANCE. FETCH THIS COMIC FOR ME.

The variety.com link in your newspost seems to be full of viruses, unless AVG is overreaccting... although it seemed like some oddly named programs tried to access the internet while I was telling it to move things to the virus vault after clicking the link. Just thought you should know they might be sporting infected banners or something =XD and maybe not link there.

Sadly I didn't check this before I clicked the link. Fortunately my own AVG caught them.

I wonder what Mary Shelly would think if she knew she'd created what would become the most over-used shtick in science fiction?

(Reply) (Thread)

She'd roll over in her grave.

Then be dug up, hit by lightning, and rampage through the nearest Waldenbooks.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Considering in the original "Frankenstein" novel, the monster wasn't brought to life by lightning, I think she'd redirect the blame to Universal pictures. ^_~

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay, you got me. I'd forgotten that Doctor Frankenstein had kept his method of creating life a secret in the original story.

Now I blame you... long forgotten... film... guys.

Meh. Not as eloquent.

Sorry if this is a stupid question (long-time reader of the comic, few-time poster), but where can I get those?

(Reply) (Thread)

You gotta buy the BotCon convention box/bagged set, and both of the at-convention toy add-ons, as the three are split up between them.

You might be able to find a deal on eBay for just the trio at some point, since I don't think they'll be as popular as the big folks, and I know one of my pals put in a bid for one of them for $5 yesterday...

I'll keep an eye out. Thanks!

As a fan of the original Short Circuit movies, I do have to tilt my head in wonder about why the need to redo the movies, since I think they still work.

I mean, Number 5, IMHO, still seems pretty damned advanced. Unless of course we've developed laser weapons with the same destructive force that he had.

Hehehehe... "M-45, semi-automatic...! PLAY-DOH!"

(Reply) (Thread)

But he doesn't LOOK advanced, he looks like an Erector set on treads, with a set of binoculars on top. (then again so does WALL-E...)

He must be remade, in gold - no, black with fire decals.

Oh, and boobs. That explode. And shoot lasers.

Laser explosions.


...Sorry, I was channeling Hollywood there for a second.

Why remake the original Planet of the Apes, or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Why remake any classic film that still holds up today?

Because there's a buck to be made, and that's bottom line. The sad fact of the matter is they may as well just remake classics considering how many films are thinly veiled rehashes of classic stories.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, but Planet of the Apes and Willy Wonka are WELL-KNOWN classic films. Short Circuit isn't exactly a common film among the general public.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Also, Planet of the Apes is a good example of why remakes aren't always a good idea.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Since when is "good idea" part of the equation?

*pictures Johnny 5 blinged out in gold and diamonds to appeal to the new generation*

*starts building an army*

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Wasn't he already blinged out in gold and whatnot at the end of the sequel?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Perhaps it's a 'topical' remake, since we've finally got war-drones deployed in combat- at least int he air- and we're working on ground versions.

"Johnny-5 must awaken to his humanity on the rough streets of Afganistan!" (hilarity ensues)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

That was probably the most horribly written news article ever.

(Reply) (Thread)

I demand it include a remake of the video clip, "Who Is Johnny?"

With cardboard stand-up Guttenberg in place of the real one.
