I, Robot and White Chicks

[TB4000]

I can't believe I'm seeing this trailer...I'm waiting for the backlash with cries of "When is Black Chicks coming out?"

Normally I'd denounce the combination of Will Smith and an Issac Asimov novel, but this doesn't look too bad.

It looks totally stupid, yet hilarious. I can't believe what they can do with makeup and prosthetics these days.

white chicks looks like its a killer. but i, robot... i have strong doubts. the asimov novel was pretty cerebral. the will smith movie doesn't lookit.

i, robot - harumph. they pretty much took one of the short stories (the one with the nestors that got modified for help w/ jumpdrive research) and mutilated it...

White Chicks looks like another one of those black-people-and-white-people-are-the-same-underneath comedies, but with cross-racial drag.

White people in blackface= racist

Black people in whiteface= hilarious?

And with I, Robot...maybe that'll give more publicity to Pak's Robot Stories

gotta have context here.
blackface was done to deny black actors the opportunity to play black characters, and they were also done to ridicule black people. but ok, to be fair, whiteface in that movie is going to be done to ridicule white people, too.

Final trailer. Looks a little bit better than the first one, they give some more insight into the plot this time around. I'll probably check it out, even if it's not entirely faithful to the source material.
