I saw this film, released yesterday in the united states, and it was fascinating. I can't even explain to you how I feel about this movie or even what it was about because it's filled with so many ideas, and strings...the movie could have ended at 4 or 5 different points, but I think the ending was nice.
Seeing this makes me really wish Aphex and Chris Cunningham would go back and do the Neuromancer project.
Anyone else seen this? Thoughts?
Stone.

Say did anyone hear about why in the commercials that it says Artificial Intelligence under the AI symbol? Well.. originally it was going to be just AI.. but there was a cross sampling of a bunch of americans and it was too confusing, to be confused with A1 the steak sauce... you know.. like barbacue.. steak? Sauce?. thats funny.

Yes, the state of American Intelligence is an oxymoron in and of itself.
Matt Lauer, (prettyboy good voice) anchor of the Today show, the National Broadcasting Systems' (NBC) morning show, pronounced the movie A-1 and got a basket full of A-1 steak sauce from Mr. Speilberg himself.

i saw the movie yesterday, and while i considered it a great flick, it fuckin pissed me off. not once did any of the professionals in the film ever mention the potentially dangerous reprocussions of making a machine that can feel. the father was the only one who even made a brief mention of it, and he obviously didn't care enough to do anything about it (he let his wife make the decision herself eventually). many other petty things throughout the movie i could go on an on ranting about, but i'd be here all day and many of you would be sick of me by then. the biggest thing i must mention, though...instead of making the boy/robot the "hero" of the story, he should have been the villain. they should have made him freak out and go on a human-killing rampage once he was rejected by the mom he loved so much. would have been much creepier, and not so goddamn sappy. like i'm gonna be happy that a fucking robot gets to live his dreams because he tried hard enough.
sorry about ranting, had this in me head for a while now.

I saw AI opening night and walked away with mixed feelings. I wouldn't mind seeing it again, but Kubrick's and Speilberg's ideas conflicted a lot. And the ending was most definitely a surprise, but you get the feeling that Speilberg couldn't help but throw that in there... like he ran out of ideas or didn't feel like staying with Kubrick's original thought. Bad idea for the most part. Overall, it was entertaining to watch and I liked seeing the different Kubrickian influences throughout the movie, especially through the robot gigolo and some other moments. Speilberg also added in, which I find quite interesting, references to older films by Kubrick. For those who have seen the movie already, recall the scene at the "Flesh Fair" when the bear robot toy first sneaks into the park and a worker snatches him and carries him away. The whole time the bear robot is saying "David [the name of the main character], where's David, have you seen David... David." This just seemed like an obvious parallel to the computer Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of Kubrick's most well recognized films. The part I'm talking about from 2001 is when Dave Bowman is trying to disconnect the malfunctioning Hal. All the while Hal is begging with Dave, "Dave. I'm afraid ... I'm afraid, Dave ... Dave ... my mind is going..." Those are just my observations anyway.
On a side note, Chris Cunningham worked with Kubrick for AI in the 80s, helping him design and build robots.

im pretty sure the ending would have been different if Kubrick was still alive..It seemed like a spielberg-type ending....argh

Rephlex: the bitch at the movie theater wouldn't let me in to Fast and th furious. She thought I was too young, and I didn't have any ID or anything on me, so I couldn't prove I was over 14!
But then I went to party and had a grand time.
