At the Movies!

[Psychospacecow]

^I remember watching that briefly as a kid when my mom would drop me and my brother off at a babysitter's house for the day while she was at work, but I was probably between 4 and 6 when I watched it so some of it is a blur in my mind.

Same babysitter also had Short Circuit 1 & 2 which was ones I remembered far better than this one.

The Short Circuit movies actually used to air a lot when we were kids; I only know about Batteries not Included because of my mother. I don't think that was ever on TV and she even had a hard time finding a place to rent it. I bought it dirt cheap on Amazon awhile back and it's such a charming movie.

I'm glad that the Short Circuit remake fell through, but at the same time I wish there was a way to put it back in the spotlight again. I still think Johnny 5 held up very well over time and he doesn't seem horribly dated when I watch the movies again now.

Plus animatronic puppets are so much more advanced these days, they could make an updated Johnny 5 without using CGI. Get the Jim Henson company to do it, I guarantee it would be awesome. I mean look what they did with Far Scape and that was late 90's early 2000's:

Pilot, its time to lose an arm!
