I think you need a certain sense of humour for Shooting Stars, and I find it very amusing. I loved it first time round too, particularly George, he's just a great big baby - the start of things to come for Matt Lucas back then.

Catterick was the best thing Reeves & Mortimer ever did, hugely underrated

What did I watch last night, yes the wimp who kept crying out in the the wild..... :twisted:

Does anyone 'get' the bit at the end of I Robot? It was on last night.

I've watched it about 5 times, plus read lots of Asimov when I was a teen, and it still doesn't make sense to me. I simply don't understand how anyone can 'lead' all those NS5 robots to a new life, because they don't have the extra whatsit processor that 'Sunny' does, nor are they 'big' enough like 'Vikki' so I don't see how they can become self-aware.

This is easy to answer. Films with robots in are rubbish and purely fantasy.

You mean "Number 5" isn't real :cry:

I loved "Short Circuit"

Well,
Actually Tony, the film 'I Robot' is based on Asimov's books and he was a great physicist and miles ahead of everyone else with his work on robotics. And, it is a real worry that robotic devices might become 'self-aware' and start doing their own thing. It is not fantasy. If humans give all the control and power to robots 'Judgement Day' could become reality.

As I understand it, the whole point of neural networks is that they actually learn, like the human brain, which is after all, simply like an extremely sophisticated computer running on biological electrical circuits.

Are there no robot geeks who also ski, who can answer my question?

Never seen it..... :shock:
