Real Steel - Movie
Why do all the good science fiction movies appear to have been evolved from a short story or a novel written by a writer/novelist (like me ;))?
Jokes apart, are you perceiving what I am perceiving? Are you deriving what I am deriving?
"Real Steel" was originally written by American author and screenwriter, Richard Matheson. Apparently, rumors say that he sold his original work "Steel' for a whopping $850,000 in 2003. Yes. That is what I am talking about. You are a millionaire celebrity with just one original idea away.
The film is wonderful. A dumped bot saves a small boy. He considers it a lucky piece and doesn't want to leave it estranged. Well, That's the max of emotions that one can expect from a Hollywood movie.
Now the bot is ready to fight and bring good fortune to both the father and the son.
I am wondering how much excited Richard would have been when he first conceived this idea? Bots punch each other in a ring! Interesting isn't it?
One of my roommates bought a Google Mini. It worked amazingly. It sincerely obeyed his commands, ran his songs for him from youtube, remembered his todo list and so on. Impressed by its performance, one of his friend - one of my other roommate - too bought one. Problems began to surface. The minis got confused between their owners as their voice recognition software was not that great, revealed the secret notes of one with the other and so on.
But why do I bother so much to have it a mention here? You know it right?
