I always thought what made the original RoboCop so affecting was the transition of Alex Murphy from family man and upstanding cop to firing-squad target to crime-fighting machine to vulnerable yet indestructible emo-robot hybrid. It made for an ingeniously subtle arc against which to project the rest of Paul Verhoeven’s pulpy, gory social satire, and Peter Weller’s performance — essentially three performances layered atop and influencing each other — provided the foundation on which the film has held up for a quarter-century. So I don’t know what to make of… this , from RoboCop remake star Joel Kinnaman (via MTV ): RoboCop is going to be a lot more human. The first movie is one of my favorite movies. I love it. Of course, Verhoeven has that very special tone, and it’s not going to have that tone. It’s a re-imagination of it. There’s a lot of stuff from the original. There are some details and throwbacks, but this version is a much better acting piece, for Alex Murphy and especially when he is RoboCop. It’s much more challenging. It’s not going to be jaw action. They’re still working on the suit and how it’s going to look, but the visor is going to be see-through. You’re going to see his eyes. I mean, OK? If only Weller had had a more “challenging” role in 1987! Think of how much better RoboCop would have turned out. Moreover — giving Kinnaman and director José Padilha the benefit of the doubt, even — what’s the upside of giving Murphy’s remade face away before the big third-act reveal? Wasn’t the point not that we “see his eyes,” but that we see through his eyes — everything from domestic flashbacks to Clarence Boddicker spitting on his mask? Which then forces us to reconcile the human with the robot, especially once those eyes are revealed? I’m pulling for this movie, I swear, but this just seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of character. This is the leading man we’re talking about! I’ll take “details and throwbacks,” sure, but don’t leave out the heart and soul. [ MTV via AICN ] Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

After ‘Ye mentioned his possible involvement in the film, Denise Di Novi tells MTV News about a ‘fun brainstorming conversation’ with the MC. By Eric Ditzian Kanye West Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/ Getty Images In what would easily be the coolest movie news of 2012, Kanye West dropped word in the midst of a scorching series of Twitter updates that he was in discussions to join up with a long-gestating adaptation of “The Jetsons.” “I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson movie,” he wrote. Could it be true? The live-action adaptation of the futuristic Hanna-Barbera cartoon — starring George Jetson, his boy Elroy, daughter Judy, Jane his wife, plus their robot maid Rosie — has been in development for years, with Robert Rodriguez attached to direct at one point. MTV News put in a call to producer Denise Di Novi, who confirmed that talks with ‘Ye had indeed taken place. “Kanye’s always been a Jetsons fan, I think because he’s so into design and he loves the design aspects,” she told us exclusively. “So we had a fun brainstorming conversation.” The call took place after West touched base with producers and told them he was interested in working on the project. “We heard that he knew we were working on the Jetsons,” Di Novi said. “He reached out and said he’s a huge Jetsons fan. There are a lot of Jetsons fanatics out there, especially people that are into either futuristic science or design. He was interested in creatively brainstorming what we were doing with the movie and what ideas he might have. It was a really friendly, preliminary conversation.” At this point, though, Di Novi is unsure if Kanye will actually sign on to become creative director of “The Jetsons.” “He was going to think about it more and see if he got inspired visually,” she said. “He’s a very visual artist.” Kanye did mention in his Twitter spree that he was annoyed about one suggestion that arose during the conversation. “Someone on the call yelled out.. you should do a Jetsons tour!” he wrote. “This just happened a few hours ago. I was very insulted of course because for anyone that’s seen the Watch the Throne Tour…Or Coachella or Glow in the Dark or Runaway.. you know I have real ideas.” Di Novi, however, said the tour comment was nothing more than a good-natured joke, especially because her production company is involved solely in the movie business. “We were just kind of joking about that,” said Di Nova, whose credits include “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and many Tim Burton films. “I don’t know if he would want to do that, but it was just a fun comment.” What do you think Kanye would bring to a “Jetsons” movie?

Especially not the Dark Knight Rises IMAX prologue. And if it were, it wouldn’t be filmed in unsteady-cam from someone’s armpit, only show the top half of the screen, and make everyone as unintelligible as Bane is supposed to be.

Rosie Huntington-Whitely, the Megan Fox replacement with the semi racist name, is half naked, in a bikini for Harper’s Bazaar, I guess for old times, cuz she was a topless model ….you know to really secure her place with the virgin losers, often times bald and into comic books dudes who are obessed with her and to sell some Harper’s Bazzar UK magazines…..or maybe it is just a tribute to her before her over-achieving ass made historical, legendary, instant classic movies like Transformers 7 the Robot Gangban Years…or whatever G Rated shit she is in…when really she just belongs half naked, fully naked, in a bikini or showing pussy lip..that’s the only logical transition from model to hollywood…but this bitch skipped the pornographic step….
Lisa Rinna is made of plastic….but she’s got a Great Tits probably thanks to being made of plastic…you see cuz when you’re a robot, you can’t rot like a normal 50 year old woman, you kinda just stay in tact, in some unnatural way, all big vagina lipped on her face or not…. A few years ago she did playboy naked …and I kinda liked it….so any chance I see her in skin tight clothes, that is probably made of the same technologically advanced fabric as her skin she paid for….I post the pics…weird, sure…but I get way weirder….
