About this deal

I See a Man Sitting on a Chair, and the Chair is Biting His Leg" ( The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Jan 1968; co-authored with Harlan Ellison, although Ellison is not credited in the book edition) Concerns a man who is chased through a futuristic Las Vegas-like city by inordinate objects with an unnatural affection for him. Charles’ father Ted tells Charles that Charles is required to attend a company board meeting at the home of an important board member named David Schulman (played by Richard Lippert), who will be meeting Charles for the first time at this meeting. Instead of rescheduling the date with Elaine for another evening, Charles breaks his biggest rule about C2. He decides to send C2 to the board meeting instead, while Charles keeps his date with Elaine. Culture Clash:A Lothario and a female gold digger, who each have illegal look-alike robots that do dirty deeds for them, go on a misadventure together to look for the robots after the robots “go rogue” by falling in love and running away together.

During this wretched and very tedious misadventure, Charles and Elaine turn to the person who sold them C2 and E2 in the first place: a nerdy inventor named Zach (played by Paul Rust), who hastily says to Charles and Elaine that C2 and E2 are starting to take on more human qualities, such as falling in love and having complete freedom of choice. There’s no logical explanation given for why these robots have suddenly taken on more human qualities. Zach says that C2 and E2 have to be destroyed because C2 and E2 could expose Zach, Charles and Elaine for being involved in these illegal robot transactions. Emma Roberts was originally cast in June 2020, until Shailene Woodley replaced her in June of the following year. [7] [8] [9] Slaves of Time: 4/5. A rather confusing tale that plays with the absurdity of time travel and makes several interesting conjectures on the subject. Not a bad read at all, but it can get rather confusing at times. A Supplicant in Space: 5/5. A brilliant tale about interstellar travel and diplomacy! The strategies and arguments made by Detringer and the military general are well thought out and the ending is well written.a b " Robots (2023) - Financial Information". The Numbers. Nash Information Services, LLC . Retrieved July 29, 2023. Zirn Left Unguarded, the Jenghik Palace in Flames, Jon Westerley Dead: 2/5. A ridiculous title for a rather disappointing story. This space opera reads as if we're starting from the third act in a story, and the story then decides to give a plot synopsis of the previous act. The premise of the story is interesting enough, but the story is too short to really appreciate the interesting world/universe it tries to describe and build up. On the day that Charles is sure that he and Elaine will have sex for the first time, he makes a 6:30 p.m. date with Elaine at her home. It will be the first time that Charles will be going to Elaine’s home. However, not long after this date is set, there’s a scheduling conflict that’s supposed to happen on the same date and time as Charles’ date with Elaine. Ritman, Alex (June 21, 2021). "Cannes: Shailene Woodley Joins 'Robots' Comedy From 'Borat' Writer Anthony Hines". The Hollywood Reporter . Retrieved December 10, 2021. The Robot Who Looked Like Me contains thirteen stories, including the title story, originally published in Cosmopolitan (!) in August 1973. It’s not at all the kind of story I’d expect to find in Cosmopolitan, but maybe things were different in the early 70s. Very, very different.

Robots with artificial intelligence could have come up with a better movie than the filmmakers responsible for the drab and unfunny comedy “Robots,” an embarrassing dud that fails to blend sci-fi and romance into an interesting story. It’s hard to believe that anyone who read the dreadful “Robots” screenplay actually thought that this junk was worth getting made. All of the movie’s cast members have the depth and personality of decommissioned robots in their hollow performances. Barsanti, Sam (June 21, 2021). "Shailene Woodley to hunt robot Shailene Woodley in new comedy from Borat writer Anthony Hines". The A.V. Club. Archived from the original on March 9, 2023 . Retrieved December 10, 2021. Their motivations are simple enough: instead of navigating the complex world of dating themselves, they send their computerized counterparts to do the dirty work for them. Genius! However, what they don’t anticipate is the two doppelgängers falling in love and announcing to their dismayed owners that they’re running away to get married. Serves them right…

 

Charles uses his robot clone, which is called C2, to impersonate Charles at the office, do domestic work for Charles, and go on romantic dates. As shown in “Robots” trailer, Charles also makes C2 shave Charles’ pubic hair in his genital area. The only time that Charles wants to be on a date as himself (and not sending the C2 robot in his place) is when he knows he’ll be having sex on that date. In 2032, after advanced robotics enabled humanity to use lifelike androids as servants and manual laborers, affluent suburbanites Elaine and Charles illegally use android doubles of themselves to avoid the time constraints of dating and the strain of work. Charle's C2 not only does his job, but also 'primes' women so the womanizer can have sex with them. Elaine's E2 dates 12 men at once, having sex with them so the gold digger can get money and expensive gifts.
