This is one of the first robots that hasn't struck me as 'creepy' by its look and animation. All previous that I've seen has had something 'wrong' with it (the uncanny valley phenomenon). But I don't seem to find this one unsettling. More amazing, really. On a 'gut-reaction' level, that is. Of course, when you get into the whole 'omg robotz uprising' aspect, that's another story. :P
Also, what does any of this have to do with feminism?? Its a demonstration of a robot.
But... But.... why!?!? What could people fear so much about a 'cyber attack' that they would want such a thing? I can't imaging how such a large 'attack' could take place anyhow, but that aside.. are they afraid that their computers will explode or something? This is confounding. It like.. giving the president a kill switch for telephones. Or television.
Internetz aside, when will we Americans stop trading freedom for safety (or, some would argue, the *illusion* of safety). What happened to Liberty or Death? Sheesh...
Nick always seems to give a good performance, even if he's in a 'bad movie' or one with silly dialog, etc. I think it's just shows that he's willing to do a movie for fun (like Ghostrider, for he's a comic book fan), and not stuck up and just take roles in movies that are written to please award panels.
It seems like it would be a lot easier to cause an accident with this compared to a normal toaster, either with people getting burned, or random things falling on it.
It also depends on the cat. Some cats like belly rubs, some don't. Some cats only tolerate soft and slow pets, and some seem to enjoy rougher or faster petting. Which seems weird, but you can see examples of all of those on youtube.
The only connection I can see between internet and cheese is linked via Speedy Gonzales there. Speedy is known for being the 'fastest mouse in the west' or something like that. So he's fast, like the internet service (supposedly), and he likes cheese because he's a mouse.
Perhaps that's it?
Either way, yeah, a big block of food in an outdoor urban area is just not a good idea.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around this concept, which is frustrating. And kinda freaky.
I mean, isn't 'depth' subjective when looking at an object. You hold a rubix's cube, can you really say which of those three dimensions is it's depth? Thus how can you say which is the one intertwined with time, and which two are the 'real' 2 dimensions that are being projected?

Still, it does look neat.
Cats are weird.

So many more questions!! Gahhh!
But yeah, lets make it illegal anyhow! :/
