Before anyone complains that "this isn't horror", the first ROBOCOP was originally given an X-rating by the MPAA for scenes of “excessive violence.” It's pretty damn bloody, and it's pretty damn disgusting... good enough for me. Today we received word that MGM and Phoenix Pictures are close to pegging Darren Aronofsky to direct the latest "remake", which we also discovered is actually a sequel! Here's the logline: Present day Los Angeles, 20 years after the termination of the RoboCop program, the city decides to reinstate the program. If this all happens, I'd love to introduce Aronofsky to THE DARK KNIGHT, where he can see how to do it right...

On backwards compatibility: Jack explained that Sony looked at how to "not take a greater hit on production cost, without losing PlayStation's heritage ... Hardware / software for backwards compat wasn't all that expensive. ... but we're selling PS2 software to PS2 customers, and selling PS3 software to PS3 consumers." Still, Jack seems to feel like it may have been the wrong move. "I would like to have had it in there, but Sony's collective strategy determined we could afford to lose it. We've now gone down that road, and we're not going back."

LOfuckingL. That movie is instantly in my top 3 "worst movies of all-time".
It is hilariously bad. Near the end I was thinking that M. Night was trying to fuck the movie up on purpose because there's NO WAY in hell the man who brought us The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs could possibly have made this dusty turd.
The audience was laughing AT the movie...repeatedly. The dialogue is basically all exposition or terrible "jokes", every actor (save for John Leguizamo) was so wooden it was like a student film production (I know this for a fact because cookblaze kept comparing this flick to my atrocious first-year final film...you ass), the science is all fucked up and the ending is just so so so so so so so terrible and ....just fucking terrible I can't even describe.
Needless to say I had a fantastic time watching it and, when it's out on DVD, rent this fucker with friends, drink some beer and make fun of just about anything in this movie.

Looks like an updated Baldur's Gate, which should assuage the painfulness of the generic Lord of the Rings inspired cut scene that was released earlier.
