#Bicentennial Man Rewatch

[spockvarietyhour]

robots that experience time on a scale humans can't even fathom. when you can have a thought and complete it in the same instant, incredibly complex thoughts, time would feel quite different. something that only takes a minute could feel like an hour. but on the other hand, a robot doesn't have cell based organs to fail them. they could live much longer. maybe that hour-in-a-minute isn't so long after all

[shesnake]

just finished watching s2 of the newsreader bc of you and i'll tell you, i think that i might need a rewatch to understand exactly where dale jennings wronged all these people the way i've seen some comments. besides tim, i think that helen was equally to blame at points with him - they just feel like they'd be great friends but bad partners - and the gerry thing is super complex because i genuinely don't see where else the tim thing could have leaked from and it's a shame they turned on each other when dale had managed to get him air time prior to the gossip columnist's calls. and with tim, i feel like the conflict really just maintained itself at the same scale it was at the end of s1. anyway, the only thing dale sees as valuable from himself is his journalistic skills, he's clearly more lost than ever in relation to his bisexuality and i feel for the guy. the day he unlocks it he's going to be unstoppable.

Hey there! Very glad you watched the show ❤ and you've kind of answered your own question with that last paragraph. Everything following is a (hopefully) more cohesive version of this post I made when season 2 finished:

Dale's professional ambition leads him to wronging everyone. Over the course of season 2, we can see him slowly shedding his principles and journalistic integrity, hoping to reach the status of a newsreader like Geoff Walters. His number one priority is to maintain his public image. He no longer fights for The Story, only for damage control.

When he sees a problem coming, he works harder to save face than he does to help fix the actual problem, leaving Helen to scramble around. He prepares a little joke and practices his laughter in the mirror so he can be unfazed when her interview with Lynus about his Aboriginal perspective on the bicentennial gets cut. On a public level it's incredibly racist!!! And on a personal level he's fucked Helen over. He "handles" Helen by dismissing her bipolar swings as "migraines", treating her mental illness the same way every other man has.

And with Tim... it hurts to admit, but Tim is just a very handsome plot device. A pretty vehicle for Dale's bisexuality to enter the plot. Tim exists solely for Dale to fumble. Sorry Tim.

In season 1, Dale's internalised homophobia becomes the story when his shitty interview skills leads to NA6 platforming homophobic AIDS rhetoric. Dale's delivery of misinformation was an accident, then Geoff comes in purposely to deliver the death blow. Dale throwing Gerry UNDER THE BUS was season 2's death blow. Regardless of whether it could've flipped the other way. He's so cold when he finally speaks to the gossip journalist. HE is the one offering HER the deal to stay silent about his bisexuality, because he knows he's made it.

Dale has always felt inadequate, as a journo and as a man. His clothes have always been too big for him. But by the end of season 2, after sacrificing all these personal relationships that made him more vulnerable, he's reached a point of privilege where the benefits of appealing to his public image outweigh exploiting his hidden truths. He is now The Newsreader. He gets on camera and delivers his bulletin, solo, in a black suit that fits him perfectly.

CURRENTLY WATCHING?: I'm rewatching GOT and I've reached Season 7 sooo...it's kinda hard to keep going 😬

LAST MOVIE?: Last Night in Soho and Bicentennial Man, can recommend both!

Last Night in Soho is a psychological, slightly supernatural thriller and Anya Taylor-Joy and Matt Smith are just fantastic! Bicentennial Man is a late 90s movie with Robin Williams as a android that wants to be human and it's honestly so sweet.

SWEET/SPICY/SAVOURY: more sweet and savoury, I can barely handle spice 🥵😂

“one of the top three sexiest robin williams roles” you can’t just leave that in the tag without saying what the others are (but if I’ve missed it OTL)

Okay, okay I admit, I was being mildly flippant because I think robin williams is highly capable of being sexy and armand is a great example, however now that we're here, let us consider the tenets of the sexy robin williams character

EDIT: also at this point, apologies, I was out travelling for a few days, I was not ignoring you. ahem. continuing:

did I come across him as a kid/teenager in a story that made me cry my eyes out

moustache/general hairiness

how queer is he

how well-dressed is he

how anti-authoritarian is he

does he make me laugh

Let's go wild and say every one of these gets rated from 0-10 (with 0 being for example "not at all hairy" and 10 being "sexy motherfucker")

now, here's some of his most well-known ventures

good morning vietnam: he's not got a moustache, because it's the army, but because it's the army his natural anti-authoritarianism is dialled up. he queers the space and goes hard on the camp comedy. loses points for being about americans in vietnam, and he's kind of a pest towards a vietnamese woman to begin with (although he does improve). best out of context line: "we can't say dyke these days, we can't even say lesbian, we have to say woman in comfortable shoes." Also the movie ends on a dorothy/wizard of oz quote. it's definitely not queer, but it's also... a choice.

0 on me crying for him, 3 on his chest peeking out once or twice, 7 on queerness (although I cannot overstate that it's not queer, but it IS him doing great camp as robin williams), 4 on the well-dressed I guess, at least he's not always in khaki, like... 6 on anti-authoritarian, because he's still an american in vietnam, 6 on the laughter because when I laugh I laugh a lot, but some of it ages pooorly = 26 points

dead poets society: the og "teacher you had a crush on, because he affirmed your queer identity and taught you poetry." I have since worked with tutors who taught me poetry and yeah, you do get heart eyes at them, poetry and being heard just does that to you. it's anti-authoritarian of course, it's professor-chic. it's low on the hairiness scale though. of course, it is also very very sad. he's dressed like me 20 years from now.

9 on sobbing scale, 2 on hairiness from memory, 8 on queerness in that whole fucking movie, 7 on well-dressed (this is about my gender okay), 5 on the laughter he's still robin williams even when he's only joking around a little, 8 on anti-authoritarian = 39 points

to wong foo: only in it briefly, canonically bisexual, leaves an impression, however the birdcage gives him more to work with, also... he has a soul patch, it is there, one must see it RIP. however I like that he just appeared in this movie, which was very bold in the way it cast its roles for the time

0 on sobbing scale (for him), 0 on the hair-scale my goodness, 10 for queerness that is a bisexual man (his truest self), 6 on well-dressed yes he's technically well-dressed but I don't like it much, and 5 on anti-authoritarian -- he's a queer so duh but it's not really in the plot for him, 7 on the laughter he's just charming = 28 points

bicentennial man: he's a robot who argues for his right to be considered alive. he's not my personally sexiest robot of all time, but every robot is a sexy robot. this one also made me cry (we're seeing a trend huh).

IIII cannot rate his sexiness in this movie, it's been too long -- will have to rewatch and get back to it

good will hunting: we love a dramatic turn, I wanted to say, but he did a lot of dramatic turns actually. this one might be the most straightforward dramatic that I've watched though. he's got a beard! he's helping out a kid without a lot of opportunities. he's challenging toxic masculinity. we love a sexy bearded man who's making the world a better place, breaking the cycle

yeah I cried at this as a kid 8 points, iiihihihi he has A BEARD 10 points! queer ethos related to breaking the cycle of toxic masculintitty and being someone who's looking at methods of healing and non-nuclear family support networks but not overall super queer on his character's front necessarily 5, 4 on the well-dressed it's worse than dead poets, 7 on anti-authoritarian, hmmm and 4 on laughter... it's still robin williams = 38 points

jumanji: a mess of a person who never shaved before, that's trans man aesthetics forya. he's a bit too busy for me to consider him sexy necessarily, he arrives and immediately man-eating plants, man-hunters (no innuendo intended), floods, and what-have-yous follow. he doesn't have time to be sexy, but that being said...

yes I cried to this movie as a kid 7 on the sad williams, okay he is hairy but is he kempt at all??? still 6, idk if it's queer to be trapped inside a game for most of your life but it'll certainly make you neurodivergent which is queer enough 5, badly dressed (sorry) 3, anti-authoritarian... tricky... he doesn't get on with his strict dad as a kid, he evades a man-hunter (again, no innuendo), he gets arrested by a cop and he continues to roll the dice on a game that wreaks havoc (although he continues to abide by the rules of the game sooo there's a whole essay here, let's just say 5), 4 on the laughter = 30

hon mentions: hook -- makes me cry too hard to even consider sexiness + when I was a kid it was all about dante basco. mrs doubtfire -- the particular kind of drag he does doesn't do it for me, but we love a genderfluid icon. mork&mindy -- I haven't actually seen it, but he seems too baby overall at that point. flubber -- he's got that mad professor type Look, but I've never actually seen it (I saw a trailer over and over on one of my vhs' as a kid), life according garp is a weird fucking movie which is surprisingly trans-positive but also just like... not well-made, I wanna watch what dreams may come

AND FINALLY BIRDCAGE - one of my queerbaby movies I elegantly let the tears fall 7, HIS CHEST HIS FACIAL HAIR HIS ARMS 10/10, 10 ON QUEERNESS, 10 ON DRESS, loses points on the authoritarian because he gives in to his petulant son's demands for heterosexuality BUT gains some back for his speech about being a middleaged fag + standing by his lover at the end 7, YES HE MAKES ME LAUGH 8 = 52

DING DING DING actually Birdcage is robin williams' sexiest role woops are we surprised?

generally: robin williams is underrated as a hairy man tbh, my guy's arms and chest are 👀👀👀👀👀

[readytoplaygod]

Are you a big sci-fi fan? If so, just in general or any particular franchises?

Sci-Fi is a wonderful genre, though I've only really been keeping up with popular culture at the moment. So like Star Wars has been a consistent through line in my life. My brothers and I grew up watching the Alien franchise, Predator, The Thing, The Matrix trilogy, Jurassic Park, Tremors, Mars Attacks, The Fifth Element, The Terminator, Men in Black, The Abyss, Planet of the Apes, Blade Runner, Ghostbusters, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Mad Max, Contact, Starship Troopers, Galaxy Quest, Species, Bicentennial Man, RoboCop...things like that. Star Trek was also in there of course. My brothers consistently watch and rewatch more than I do though, and @call-me-beelzebub watches any type of sci fi or horror movie regardless of "quality" because it mostly matters if he enjoyed watching it. He's familiar with the obscure.

Bicentennial Man, Bowfinger, But I’m A Cheerleader (1999)

To celebrate 1999 and its contribution to film (I know that sounds weird but hear me out) I re-watched - or watched for the first time - a collection of films released in that year.  I don’t know how to present them other than alphabetically.  My brain works best when there is some order.

I had only seen But I’m A Cheerleader back in the day.  i am an O.G. Natasha Lyonne fan and I thought the premise was hilarious.  And while the Dr. Seussian sets still please me, in 2019, the story is dated and the movie is slow.

I watched Bicentennial Man because I read Robin (the biography of Robin Williams) earlier this year and wanted to try to see all of his movies, even the bad ones.  This is not a good movie and I hardly enjoyed it at all.  I found the story kind of stupid and if not for Robin and Oliver Platt would have chucked it.  But - it’s so interesting to see Robin work.  He had two movies released in 1999 - the other was Jakob the Liar which I am afraid I will not get to this round.  Just not enough time. Stupid work getting in the way of my free time.  Robin Williams is so good, I’ll even watch his bad movies.

Bowfinger was my favourite of the three.  How could it not be funny with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy as the leads?  And yes - Eddie is hilarious.  I thought he played outside his box while Steve Martin sort of stayed inside his box.  I felt the movie wasn’t as good as it might have been if Martin had played it a little grander.  That’s just my opinion being a huge Steve Martin fan and if I ever meet him I hope he hasn’t read this.  But if he does read this, big smooch and the banjo is cool.

Which of these three have you seen?  Which is your favourite?  Your least faourite?  Would you rewatch any?

Happy 20th Birthday to Bicentennial Man, Bowfinger, and But I’m a Cheerleader!

5k Survey LXVII

3401. How well can you read between the lines when others are talking? >> I’m not usually looking to read between any lines. My first inclination is to take what people say at face value, excepting cases like speaking in metaphor or using sarcasm, which I think I can figure out pretty well.

3402. Would you ever speak in front of your peers about peace and social injustice? >> In a formal sense, like giving a speech? Most likely not. 3403. Where does peace begin? >> ??? 3404. Does Aamerica practice the ideals it preaches? If yes when and where? If not, why not? >> Which ideals, exactly, are we talking about? 3405. In conversations do you assume that you know what will be said? If yes, isn't this a form of closing yourself off to new ideas? >> I don’t try to predict conversations or anything.

3406. In what ways are you closed minded? >> I’m not sure. I’m willing to accept a vast variety of subjective realities. I consider it a strength of mine, it’s helped greatly in practicing compassionate thinking (a practice in which I am otherwise not very strong yet). 3407. do you prefer beans or rice? >> I mean, I generally prefer these two things together. 3408. who's a better tv dad?--dr. huxtable (bill cosby) or danny tanner? >> I don’t know who Danny Tanner is, but I never much cared for the Cosby Show either way. 3409. detroit or new york? >> I would love to go to Detroit at some point (I was there for a conference in 2013 or so, and Sparrow and I went to see a Welcome to Night Vale live show there some years later, but in neither case did I get to actually see anything else in Detroit except the exact thing I was there for). Can’t pick a preference without having been to both cities. 3410. What's your favourite Star Wars movie? >> Hmm... I thought The Force Awakens was pretty cool, and Revenge of the Sith too. I don’t remember which one from the original trilogy I liked best because it’s been longer since I’ve seen those. 3411. What's your favourite Star Trek movie? >> I’ve never seen any of those. 3412. How about Batman? >> At this point, the only Batman movies I really remember anything about are the Nolan Trilogy ones, and those were pretty interesting.

Indiana Jones? >> I’ve never seen any of these.

Lord of the rings? >> I don’t remember if I liked any of them more than the other two.

harry potter? >> I don’t remember if I liked any of them more than the other eight. I think the Deathly Hallows ones were pretty interesting? 3413. If you could ask one question and one question only to the following people, what would that question be: Saddam Hussain? George W Bush? John Lennon? an alien? God? Someone you knew who has died? Steven Speilberg? JD Salinger? 3414. Have you seen AI (artificial intelligence)? If yes, what were the beings at the end of the movie? Do you see this as a possible future for humanity? What'd you think in general? >> It’s been years since the last time I saw this movie, and all I can remember about it as a result is that it was a bit maudlin but I loved it at the time. I’ve bandied about the idea of rewatching it, but eh, who knows. Honestly, if I’m going to revisit a maudlin movie about robots and emotions, it’s going to be Bicentennial Man first and foremost before any other. 3415. If a-l-k-a-s-e-l-t-z-e-r spells 'relief' how do you spell: love? happiness? evil? sexyness? yummy? 3416. Have you ever been to a Braodway show? What one? >> I have seen exactly one (1) stage production, and that was Phantom of the Opera. If I never get the chance to see a live show again, at least my one experience was as amazing and transformative as it was. 3417. Nighttime shows or matines (sp?)? >> Matinees, always. 3418. How are your family get-togethers, loud and rambunctios or quiet and formal? >> --- 3419. Would you be able to survive shippwrecked alone on a desert island? >> I mean, no, dude. Let’s be realistic lmao 3420. Speaking of islands, does Gilligan EVER get off his? >> I don’t know anything about that show. 3421. What movie has the BEST soundtrack? >> I could never answer this, my brain immediately starts screaming about all the movie soundtracks it loves and I don’t even know where to begin or how to use words. 3422. Do you ever go into chat rooms? If yes, what ones? >> No. I mean, I use Discord, but that’s a bit different from the chat rooms of yore. 3423. Is english your first language?  >> English is my first language.

If not...How you say hello in your language: another word in your language + english translation: boob in your language: 3424. Make up a religion (make it up): >> No, thanks.

what would it believe: 3425. Create your own country- >> Nope. Name of country: Ethnic background: Language (make it up): Other details: 3426. How would you celebrate these holidays? Dogs in Politics day: Magic circles day: Be bald and free day: National mole day: Syliva plath day: Increase your psychic powers day: Waiting for the barbarians day: Air day: 3427. -Why do you think Steve got kicked off Blue's Clues: >> I vaguely remember this moment in history, but not enough to have an opinion about it. 3428. Hooked on heroin or hooked on phonics? >> ... 3429. -Have you ever taken an insanity quiz and said, "Hay, thats a good idea!" >> What? 3430. - Have you ever covered yourself in blood and layed down on the side of the road to make it look like you were in an accident? You don't know what you're missing. >> I think that’d be a pretty mean prank to play on unsuspecting passersby. 3431.

I don’t care about that saying. 3437. Put the following musical acts in order from best to worst by numbering them..(1 for best, 2 for 2nd best, etc... 20 for worst). >> Are you kidding me. Avril: Ashanti: Joan Jett: David Bowie: the Bee Gees: The Doors: Tool: DMX: Iggy Pop: Creed: Weezer: Ministry: Thursday: Kittie: Adam Ant: Rancid: the Clash: Led Zeppelin: Moby: Tom Waites: 3438.

What's your favorite old movie (before 1990)? >> lmao, “before 1990″... anyway, I love a lot of movies that came out in that expansive period of time, so... 3441. When someone tells you that their signifigant other lives REally Far Away..do you ever suspect that they are single and making someone up? >> I do not suspect that unless I have reason to suspect them of lying (as in, past experience of them lying about things, particularly bigger things). 3442. Alaska or Hawaaii? >> I don’t have a preference because I’ve been to neither location. 3443. Why did Kentucky Fried Chicken change their name to KFC? >> I don’t remember why. Brands just be doin shit, idgaf. 3444. What is there no place to hide from? >> ... 3445. Which makes you happier, giving presents or getting them? >> I mean, getting a gift is really fun. Giving a gift is really fun. I don’t know why I’d be comparing those two experiences. 3446. What can you never have just one of? >> I can’t think of anything. 3447.

Do you still look at the world with wonder like you did when you were a kid? >> Not with the same intensity and regularity as one would when one’s brain is still in development, but I do try to stay in contact with that part of myself. 3450. For 5 seconds clear your mind. Good. Now write the first thing that you can think of!: >> No, thanks.

Bicentennial Man (1999)

[kintherye]

The movies that are fucken da best.

So the Oscars happened, like they do every year, giving us some good fresh memes, so everyone are discussing what they think about it. I’m allergic to common topics so I’m obviously not going to tell my opinion (Spoiler - it’s negative). But inspired by papa Pewds I decided to make a movies related post, where I talk about my top movies.

After the Dark (The Philosophers),2013

The idea and the scenario are fascinating, I love this whole masterpiece. And I love all the lines, all the phycology theorems it mentions and the game. I would love to play it. The visual effects are on point too, imagery is breathtaking at some points. I love how this movie makes you wonder what you would do in particular situations, so you feel like you’re the character of the film, like you’re sitting in the class with others too. And there are a lot of great young actors playing; I was pleasantly surprised by seeing Bonnie Wright and Abhi Sinha.

Anyway, don’t read what’s the movie is about, don’t look at the screenshots, just go and watch it, and let everything be a surprise for you.

The Beauty Inside, 2015

A Korean movie that has a veeery interesting plot and I suggest watching it to every person I know, even though no one watched it yet, lol. So, basically, it’s about a person who wakes up in a new body every day for almost all his life. Sometimes he is a man, sometimes he is a woman, he can be fat or skinny, young or old, and sometimes he is a foreigner and doesn’t even speak Korean. He falls in love with the woman so this film has a lot of deep meaning of what actually love is and do we fall in love with an image or with what’s inside. The ending scene and the song are amazing; both of these things make it worth watching the whole movie. And if you’re the fan of K-dramas you’ll be pleased to see some of amazing actors (I love Lee Dong Wook, Lee Hyun Woo, Park Seo Joon, Seo Kang Joon and Park Shin Hye, but the whole cast is simply amazing).

And I truly think that anyone can enjoy this movie, even if you don’t care about South Korea or K-Dramas.

Burlesque, 2010

I love musicals and this one is my favorite. Seriously, I watched it like a million of times. My deep love to Christina Aguilera started from watching this movie, and I will never be tired of listening to the songs from it. The scenario is simple, has a lot of clichés, but this is a great relieving movie about achieving your dreams that makes even me believe that I can succeed.

Labyrinth, 1986

One of my favorite movies since I was a kid. It’s beautiful and dreamlike, the characters are marvelous, and even though it doesn’t have a high quality detailed effects and backgrounds like Alice in the Wonderland or Fantastic Beasts and where to find them, it still have more magic in it for me. The Dancing scene is probably my favourite of all, above all the movies I’ve seen.

And I love David Bowie. His acting works are something why I thank God every day.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World, 2010

The concept of it is just so good I’m like??? Wow how can it be that some people haven’t seen it. The screening of the comic book, of the amazing comic book, funniest and the most relatable characters, music, dialogs, everything about this movie is awesome and Wallace is like the closest friend to me, he is almost me, but if I was short gay guy who is actually witty.

The Devil Wears Prada, 2006

Oh boi, I can’t even tell how many times I’ve seen this one. There was a period of my life when every time I’ve got stressed I’d watched this movie, and, believe me or not, I get stressed all the time. I just… love it? I love both of these actresses – Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway – and I would love to have the same traumatizing experience as the main character had.

The book tho is not as good. Like, first one is fine, but the second one is disappointing, even though I didn’t expect it to be very good.

Bicentennial Man, 1999

Another favorite film of childhood. Robin Williams is my favorite actor, something in his face and voice makes me feel happy and chilled, so I obviously was very upset when I found about his death.

This movie came out on the year I was born, and since then I feel the unchanging way every time I watch this beautiful film – the sweet fusion between sorrow and delight.

August Rush, 2007

All I want to say that if you love music and find inspiration in it – this movie is for you. It was breathtaking to me, the first time I watched it, I was focused on the story since the begging to the very end.

I guess the love line inspired If I stay book? I never actually thought of that before making this list, but now I’m sure of that. Maybe If I stay is just a fanfic, lol.

Ruby Sparks, 2012

I see myself as I writer (although I wrote just a few shitty fanfics in my whole life lol), so this story is especially interesting for me.

So there’s a guy, who started writing about a girl, Ruby, and, all of the sudden, she became alive. And every time he writes something about her on the paper – Ruby changes in real life.

I love the idea; the movie is full of meanings and funny moments.

Stardust, 2007

And again, my favorite movie of childhood. I love beautiful fairy taly movies, so no surprise I love this one. It has pirates in it, it has witches, it has magic, a true love and… stars? The whole movie is shiny and bright, this is how magnificent it is.

It’s based on Neil Gaiman’s book and we all know that his books are the gift that humanity doesn’t deserve.

  And here some of the movies I won’t exactly call my favorite, but I love them and enjoy watching every second of them. And I defenetly recommend them.

So, they are: Big Fish, The Pursuit of Happyness, It's Kind of a Funny Story, What We Do in the Shadows, Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, Now You See Me, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Monte Carlo, The Great Gatsby, Nowhere Boy, The Internship, Hook.

(This list doesn’t contain any animated movies or movies about Christmas, but I can do another list of them if anyone wants)

(That’s defiantly not a full list and there are not a lot of movies that I’ve seen now. Like, I’ve watched Big Fish, the greatest movie of all time, not a while ago, so I’m sure this top will change quiet quickly)  

(now please exuse me, I’m leaving to rewatch all of these movies, and I totally suggest you to do the same thing)

Thank you for the Facts of Life speech, Sam Neill.

I think there's a case to be made for design lineage between the robot from "I, Robot" in 60s Outer Limits and the one in Bicentennial Man.
