When I grow up, I'd already planned to make several movies starring the Roboreptile and Roboraptor. I'd planned to make them horror movies. What do you think?

When you grow up, your target audience won't know what a Roboraptor or Roboreptile is.

It would be like me telling you I was going to make a movie based on Zeroids.

Don't know what I'm talking about? My point, exactly. Here's a 30 year old Zeroid commercial.

I've still got my Zerak.

Exactly my point Mrscott. It would be like something new! Just like no one would remember Davy Crocket on his movies.

Hollywood certainly likes to resurrect old movies and series. They don't seem to be able to come up with enough new ideas to fill the theaters and broadcast bandwidth. They brought back Lost In Space as a movie after 30 years. They took a swing at a Bionic Woman remake. Now they're going to try and bring back Knight Rider.

On the other hand, I'm not sure how far you'll get with a horror movie about a 2 foot tall stumbling robot that can't climb stairs.

"Oooh it's chasing me (at .01 miles per hour)! If only I had a chair to stand on to get away from it!"

On the third hand..... What about those evil Daleks on Dr. Who?! They can't do stairs, but they keep coming back for more screen time.

MrScott, if I make a horror movie about a robot I don't think I'll use the actual robot. I would create a 150 ft CGI monster.

J.T., if youv`e got a video camera, try making one now- I`d be a hit on you tube!

Please?

Ahhh... my mistake, then. You stated the movies would star RoboReptile and RoboRaptor.

You're really talking about a movie along the lines of Mecha-Godzilla.

It's been my dream ever since I became a member on this site to be able to post video, but alas, I don't have a usable video camera. I promise though, as soon as I do get one, I will attempt to make some movies. Thanks for idea though.

If you have a digital camera, it probably has a pretty good video feature.

April 25, 2008 1:25 PM

Sorry, I don't have anything like that.
