Robot Wonders and Wanderings 2012-06-29

  • Near-future setting touches on themes of “robot companions for old people” w/ a dark comedy heist twist. (Frank Langella’s character on his robot): “I need him.” “What do you need him for?” “He’s my friend.”

    Also something in there re: paper books and physical libraries vs. ebooks & internet.

    So, yeah, right up my alley.

  • Two delusional toy robots plot to dominate the world in this mini-musical.

  • A trailer for an upcoming web series about humanoid millitary robots.

  • Jim Henson’s 1963 film for AT&T featuring a smoke-belching robot and discussion about machines and humans.
