Robots, Androids, Mecha, etc etc
One of the many things I will miss about Information Landscapes will be the fun conversations we had about things I like talking about- like androids, cheesy movies and the current state of affairs. So I found this article I thought everyone might enjoy, it is from the Onion A.V Club's List of the Top Fourteen Most Memorable Robots. And lo!, they list Jude Law from A.I as one. I must say, he was definately my favorite thing about that movie when I first saw it. If you didn't know it yet, I have a thing for androids.
