Good flick. But why "Bicentennial Man"? It was taken directly from "I,
Robot", while the movie by that name had NOTHING to do with the original
story!

I rather liked it.... it wasn't quite the story of Andy but aside from the
title it was fairly close to Asimov's original intentions in the stories it
was adapted from, and that's a lot.

If you are an Asimov fan, there is a half-hour adaptation of "The Ugly Little
Boy" that was done by PBS in the early seventies and actually is one of the
best adaptations around in my opinion.

The Betty Page film was not too bad, but Joe Bob would definitely give it
the thumbs down for showing a lot less than it promised....

turned out to be an A Okay movie.I guess.

No, sorry. It was taken from *another* Asimov robot story/series. There
were assorted short stories of his that didn't fit into the two major
ones: the "robot" books: I Robot and so on, There was the Daneel Olivaw
and Elijah Bailey (a cop from earth) stories and then the two latter
were connected to his Foundation series in his later books. Bicentenial
Man was a book of short stories (including the title short story) he
wrote (he wrote over 360 books in his lifetime, using all 10 divisions
of the Dewey decimal system possibly a world record for a writer). The
exact title of the book was: The Bicentennial Man and other stories.
According to my copy the LoC number is:ISBN-0-449-23573-4. BTW the I, Robot
Movie had nothing to do with the stories either - aside from a somewhat
more striking version of Susan Calvin than Isaac would have cast. The
I Robot stories were four (?) books of short stories.
