I, Robot? It wasn't as bad as I'd thought. Some of it was preposterous - Susan Calvin as the hot action babe was just wrong - but... how can I put this? It actually made sense within an Asimovian framework. To me, it seemed like a "Caves of Steel" sort of story, within the world of his Susan Calvin stories. Does that make sense?

I liked Spiderman better. Just got back from that. The elevator scene was funny, but I'm not sure the villian "worked" for me. Good movie, but it almost seemed too cookie-cutter.

LOL. I didn't make that connection. The gal on the screen bears no resemblence! I guess I just imagined her as an older woman. Retirement age or something. The screen character is very flat and uninteresting, so much so, that I didn't bother trying to remember her name.
