> Can a robot doggie stare completely perplexed at his butt after he clears the room with a fart? Nope.. I’m sticking with my live canine buddies....
And can he drag his butt across the carpet on his front legs without tearing the carpet up for our entertainment? I think not...

Haven’t found anything to go see in the theaters for a long time.Well, don't rely on my input alone. Some may find it fascinating. I didn't.
