List of 50 best movie robots of all time, with video

By Xeni Jardin on Video

Xeni Jardin:

The guys at Times Online (UK) have compiled a list of the 50 coolest movie robots, measured with the following factors in mind:

  • Plausibility (meaning how likely it would be that, with advances on currently existing technology, such a device could be built)
  • Coolness (just how well designed, shiny or generally well-appointed the robot appeared to be)
  • Dangerousness (scoring not only on built-in weaponry, but the robot's eagerness to use it) Related Links
  • Comedy Value (how effective the robot is at providing light relief in the film in which it appears)
  • Link to list, which includes lots of video clips -- this is a fun, obsessively assembled homage. (thanks, Mikey)

    Reader comment: Mark Christian says,

    Heya. If you feed that link into Chime.TV, you can watch all the video clips in one go. :) Link.

    The Real Jailhouse Rock: Why the Prisoners Dance to "Thriller"

    By Caryn Ganz on Rock News

    American prisoners lift weights in jail. Filipino inmates re-create the choreography from the most definitive music video in history. Why? "Inmates say to me: 'You have put my mind off revenge, foolishness, or thinking how to escape from jail, or joining a gang,'" says Byron Garcia, a government security consultant in the Phillipines. Garcia explains that dancing is mandatory for all inmates (except the ill or elderly) at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabiliation Center. Garcia initially had inmates marching along to "Another Brick in the Wall," then required them to groove to the Village People's "YMCA" and "In the Navy" before moving on to songs from films like Sister Act and a Queen track. Inmates apparently inquire how many YouTube hits their clips have earned (1.3 million for the "Thriller" video so far), and say the dancing is theraputic. Hopefully nobody reenacts Oz plots when they find out what's up next: "Ice, Ice Baby."
