Because while you may end up with a superbaby, all the really crappy genes left over will make Danny DeVito.

Hasn't Hollywood taught you anything!

Aside from the Sliders episode mentioning this, there was actually a movie somewhat similar to this...

http://imdb.com/title/tt0193283/

Among other things, fingerprint and iris identification technologies will be used.

Haven't those guys seen this movie?

Basically, two males are hibernated and get thawed after World War III which actually turned out to be the escalated male-female confrontation. The females won and invented a way of reproducing without any male involvement.

Then those two blokes get defrosted and wake up in a world 100% ruled and controlled by women... Just watch it if you can get hold of it.

And we all know what happens in 28 days later.

Sci-Fi Channel did it... or at least something close. The Last Man On Planet Earth

That would make a good B-movie. The setup is different, but much of the plot would be similar to Phoenix The Warrior.

Shoot me for knowing this.

If you like the idea you've pitched then don't miss A Boy and His Dog.

Yes, that's due to his clear Bostonian accent.

ahh yes... "the Karen Carpenter Story" one of the greats...

Mars needs Women, not men.

It appears to have come from a movie... It does sound a lot like him, though...

Does this mean that soon, I too could wake up next to Sharon Stone and lead a martian revolution?

the first one where that dude's head explodes!

I can see why you posted that anonymously. Scanners (1981) - I wonder what percentage of /.ers were old enough to remember that one?

I'm sure the question on everyone's mind is, "Does it come with two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, all on a sesame seed bun?" If so, BRING IT ON! I'm hungry! =)

I'm sure it does - It might make you obese and sick too!

Might want to pick up House of The Dead, Double Dragon, and Alone In The Dark as well.

Why not pick up Doom and Halo as well?

I present Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

sulli, you rawk!

oh and i love this part:

and talked IBM and Wall Street and the Fortune 500 into buying in

i'm sorry... but this is just ridiculous.

yeah... ESR: get over yourself... sheesh... i get those kinds of emails 3 or 4 times a day. they aren't job offers.

*wonders if ESR jerks off to Revolution OS*-- eeewww... sorry about that dreadful image

I think the robot was asked whether he's sexually capable. He raises his hand, finger extended, and it whirls around at high speed. He says, "Fully functional", as I recall.

well, maybe a bit of empathy afterwards:

Robot: Earth women who experience sexual ecstasy with mechanical assistance always tend to feel guilty!

The wonder never seizes to amaze me...

The biggest question; as more sophisticate motorized artificial limb gets, more sensitive sensor to control it requires.

If the question above is solved with "clever" routine to detect movement in sync with rest of fingers (ie. gripping torch.. hem or just giving thumbs up or middle finger), I'm assuming most basic movement will be predetermined/predefined according to how the sensor detects the motion or object by means of basic push/pull mechanism from wrist muscle.

If then (and I said "IF"), won't it be more "clever"-er to have prosthetic controlled by nerve?

For example, MES Robotics has pretty nice pictures of future projects regarding similar concept.

(oh and yes, the arm does look like something out of Terminator 2 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103064/)

Firefox was a bad movie in the 80's.

They are aparently coming out with a remake or something.

It's called The Beast Of War and is indeed very good.

180.iq

who?

Diesel.

The Beast of War

"but as you can see [...] nothing happened"

Except Hollywood produced movies about it.

It could turn out like this

and it was awesome!

There's another great patriotic moment in Scrap Happy Daffy, a 1943 Warner Brothers cartoon that's almost never shown anymore because its message is too pro-American. If nothing else, we need to start hearing again, "Americans don't give up!"

Here is how things turn out. So don't come crying to use when your astro robot dog goes psycho and destroys all your hard work and plans.

What could possibly go wrong?

I dunno man... Ant Man? Just not seeing the returns on that one.

It's ridiculous.. With all of the great comics Marvel has out there, what is this trash they're looking at? I mean, a few of these I can see as good.. Capt America could make up for the old movie, Avengers? Yeah, I'm sure they oculd make that work, Hawkeye maybe too since he WAS an Avenger.. Dr. Strange could probably work, and since Punisher did alright, i'm sure Nick Fury could be sold as well, even Cloak and Daggar (Would that be anything like the OLLLLLD Cloak and Dagger movie?).. But Black Panther? Ant-Man!? I was hoping they would make mention of Ghost Rider and maybe a Silver Surfer movie or something... Especially with having Dr. Strange and Avengers, plus the recent Fantastic Four.. these are all comics that were wrapped up in the Infinity Gauntlet book(s) which could probably be made into a pretty good movie as well.. Multi-Issue crossover series comics come to the big screen.. if anybody could pull that off Marvel probably could given their recent track record for comic movies.

We could always call in Dr. Harry Dalton to find out.

I'm not the OP, but check out Grand Prix by John Frankenheimer, 1966

Based on the statistics, comic-turn-movies are bringing in around $350 millions each after cost.

Sure - if you pick and choose your sample.
a few more Marvel movies:
The Punisher (1989)
Fantastic Four (1994) (yes there are caveats with this one)
Nick Fury: Agent of Shield (1998) (David Hasslehoff!?)
Captain America (1991)
and I'm sure there are more..

That inimitable web-designer Steven Glass is back - and he's having delusions about impressing the IT industry!

Seriously - how did this get posted as a Slashdot story?

If we're talking about hard news I know of several relations of deposed-dictators of third world countries with approximately US$24,500,000 each that needs to be transferred to my personal bank account for which I will be handsomely rewarded. I keep all these e-mails in a folder marked 'spam', but I don't mind telling my friends it's 100% genuine.

There already was a Captain America movie, and verily it did suck hard.

You've Got Mail was a remake of The Shop around the Corner, but with our generation's weak version of James Stewart.

Hey, you don't mess with Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter.

I would agree... don't rent it, don't look at it, don't touch it. Don't mess with it at all!

I'm all for b-rated movies, but this is clearly sub-b. In someways it's a sci-fi kung-fu musical. But usually with kung-fu even if the story is bad the visual choreography is entertaining even if it ends up being fought in a city with a trampoline behind every bush. But just as some might say white men can't jump... these canadians can't Kung-Fu. Music well to be frank I fast forwarded through the feature. Audio quality was crap... and I mean wind in the boom crap. And worse yet, worse yet... it doesn't make good heckling material.

Oddly enough the only people who enjoyed this film were those who enjoyed Repo Man. Repoman at least had a semi-decent sound track, a odd twisted story, and at least the feeling that even though there are some continuity issues and crew and boom visiable here and there, you get the feeling they actually tried.

Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter is just a joke, so please, if you value your self respect don't mess with it.

'Great' movies do not sell tickets. Example, The Pianist: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253474/awards, was not the top earner for 2002, http://us.imdb.com/Sections/Years/2002/top-grossin g. Instead it was Spiderman. Hollywood is not interested in making 'Great Movies', it is interested in whatever gets a warm body in a paying seat. Looked at another way: Given the largest source of revenue (for any product) is the 'lowest common denominator', I don't think we can expect any form of 'Great Movie' out Major Hollywood anymore. And possibly any major industry, such as games: http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/21/ 1529232&tid=187&tid=10
