"detective, you need to learn to trust robots ok? we all trust them and nothing can ever go wrong!" *derka derka doo*
uh-oh, homicide at the robot factory!
in the future, everyone drives an audi
(ok, the lobby computer talks to him over the speakers, but there are a lot of other people in there, it's pretty rude of that computer to talk about one guy's location when all those other people are there)
You would realize the movie is utter crap if you had read the original Isaac Asimov book.
Somebody always say that. I haven't read the books but I thought the movie was great. It's one of my favourite movies. I doubt reading the books will change my mind on that but I might check them out.

The movie was OK as a mindless popcorn flick, but it has almost no relation to the book, other than the name. Isaac Asimov would spin in his grave at 7200rpm if knew what happened to his stories.
Great view into the possible robotic/cyborg future.
Oh, and I Robot the movie sucked.
Liked Ghost In The Shell, but it must be admitted that it owes a huge debt to The Matrix (and The Matrix owes a huge visual debt to the first Blade movie).

Er. Matrix: 1999
Ghost in the Shell: 1995
Who ripped off who again? And, if you'd like a look at the actual source material for The Matrix, go read Grant Morrison's _The Invisibles_ vol 1.

Er, Did you even read the Wiki link?

The series was first adapted into a theatrical anime film adaptation in 1995
Quote:
The Wachowski brothers, makers of the Matrix trilogy, acknowledged the influence of Ghost in the Shell in an interview.[2] Producer Joel Silver also mentioned in an interview on the Animatrix DVD that he was shown the Ghost in the Shell movie during a pitch from the Wachowski brothers to indicate the style and look of the film they wanted for The Matrix.
The Manga was older than the anime by about 4 years.
discuss what your robot servant would do for you ITT
I'm afraid to say that my robot would be akin to the Austin Powers fembots, but without the big hair a fluffy nightwear. As well as walking around my office looking incredibly hot, she would also file my tax returns, screen my calls and make me delicious meals at lunch.

Well, this is a human version of her. But she will do.
I would highly recommend reading and watching the Ghost in the Shell mangas and animes. Official (Flash) site.

Both Blade AND The (Wachowski brothers) Matrix owe Masamune Shiro and Mamoru Oshii a mighty high five.
I WANT A ROBOT SERVANT!
