This the Best Aftermarket Retailer That You Can Buy
By Harsh Chauhan - August 19, 2013 | Tickers: AAP, AZO, ORLY
While vehicle sales in the U.S. continue to remain strong, driven by a robust housing sector and low interest rates, it's surprising to see that the average of vehicles on U.S. roads has continued to increase. According to market research firm Polk (via CNN Money), the average age of vehicles hit an all-time high of 11.4 years.
The firm is of the opinion that tepid sales more »
Breaking Down This Google Glass Play Into Pieces
By Harsh Chauhan - August 18, 2013 | Tickers: GOOG, HIMX, SSNLF
Himax Technologies (NASDAQ: HIMX) has been on a tear this year, appreciating more than 150%. The stock suddenly came into the spotlight earlier this year after it was revealed that it would be supplying a key component to Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) for the Google Glass. And then, Google agreed to finance its display business last month.
It would be an understatement to say that shares have taken off after these more »
Why Holding On to This Stock Is a Good Idea
By Harsh Chauhan - August 18, 2013 | Tickers: CHL, FNSR, JDSU
JDS Uniphase (NASDAQ: JDSU) has had an indifferent year so far. The manufacturer of fiber optics components has underperformed badly this year, appreciating just 4%. And after taking a look at the company's recently released fourth-quarter results, it isn't clear if there's a turnaround in sight.
Missing revenue estimates and offering a light guidance aren't good signs, especially when peer Finisar (NASDAQ: FNSR) issued terrific preliminary more »
World of Warcraft's Decline Cannot Hold This Company Back
By Harsh Chauhan - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, NTES, TCEHY.PK
NetEase's (NASDAQ: NTES) performance so far this year has been nothing short of impressive. 2012 wasn't a great year to be a NetEase investor as the stock's performance tapered off toward the end of the year on the back of weak earnings reports.
But, a look at the year-to-date stock chart now reveals that NetEase has gained close to 50%. Moreover, its recently released earnings report and more »
The Market Hasn't Recognized This Stock's Potential Yet, but You Should
By Harsh Chauhan - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, RFMD, SSNLF
Radio frequency components maker RF Micro Devices (NASDAQ: RFMD) has been growing at a rapid pace, but sadly, its share price performance so far this year does not reflect the same enthusiasm. The stock is up just 10% this year, significantly lagging the performance of the NASDAQ Composite index.
One would be surprised at such a muted performance, especially considering that the company's revenue in its recently reported first more »
NVIDIA's Tegra Is Losing Its Wheels
By Harsh Chauhan - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: GOOG, NVDA, QCOM
When chipmaker NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) recently released its second-quarter results, it became clear that the company is struggling. It was not surprising to see the company's revenue and earnings fall from the year-ago period, given the fact that the PC market has been on shaky ground and NVIDIA's mobile initiative has failed to take off -- rather it's going downhill at the moment.

Use This Opportunity to Make a Terrific Addition to Your Portfolio

Chinese online gaming company Giant Interactive (NYSE: GA) has turned in a good performance so far this year, with shares up around 45%. However, there have been occasional hiccups on the way, with the latest one coming after the company disappointed analysts with its outlook and crashed 9%.
However, a company that's plying its trade in an industry that's expected to grow at a decent clip of almost more »
A Few More Reasons Why This Stock Was Unfairly Punished
By Harsh Chauhan - August 6, 2013 | Tickers: BRCM, CHL, S
In the previous part of this post, I'd explained why the Street was overly negative about Broadcom's (NASDAQ: BRCM) second-quarter performance and the accompanying outlook. The weakness around its mobile and wireless business, which makes up 46% of the top line, seemed overblown. But what seemed completely ignored in analysts' opinions about Broadcom was the strength in its remaining 54% of the business.

A Few Reasons Why This Stock Was Unfairly Punished
By Harsh Chauhan - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BRCM, SSNLF |
One of the most frustrating experiences in life can be when, as an investor, you see your investment go under. The frustration multiples when the company that you'd invested in had good prospects, solid clients, and great innovation; but still, it fails to do well as an investment.
A similar thought would be running through the minds of Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) investors, the semiconductor company which, according to me more »
An Underperforming Stock That You Shouldn't Sell
By Harsh Chauhan - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, FCS, SSNLF
Around the end of April, I'd suggested that readers take a look at chipmaker Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), primarily a supplier of power management chips. The stock was trading pretty close to its 52-week low when it posted a loss while the Street was looking for a profit. However, it had issued bright guidance, and it looked like its end-markets were picking up steam and orders were flowing in more »
Why Now Is a Good Time to Sell This Stock
By Harsh Chauhan - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, ATML, MSFT, SSNLF
Semiconductor company Atmel (NASDAQ: ATML) is well-known for two things -- the first is making microcontrollers and the second is inconsistency. However, shares have been up close to 30% so far this year as its performance has alternated between the bad and then, the good. Investors' faith and management helped the stock appreciate this year.
But, true to its character, Atmel yet again proved that it cannot stick to one path more »
This Stock Is on Sale, Don't Miss It
By Harsh Chauhan - August 1, 2013 | Tickers: CAVM, CHL, CSCO
Chipmaker Cavium (NASDAQ: CAVM) was supposed to be one of my better picks for 2013, but I have to admit that I have been wrong so far. Shares have underperformed the NASDAQ Composite index by a wide margin so far, appreciating less than 15%, and as I write this, the stock is down around 5%.
The year had begun on a promising note, but dropped off after fears of a more »
Is This Company Finally Back on Track?
By Harsh Chauhan - July 31, 2013
A few days back, I'd written that shares of chipmaker Cypress Semiconductor (NASDAQ: CY) desperately needed a new lease on life. The stock was almost flat since the beginning of the year began and it looked as if 2013 would be another disappointing year for Cypress after a terrible time last year.
But, Cypress' recently reported second-quarter results came to its rescue, and shares surged more than 10% as more »
A Few Solid Reasons Why This Stock Should Be in Your Portfolio
By Harsh Chauhan - July 31, 2013 | Tickers: CHL, S, XLNX |
Having a well-diversified semiconductor company in your portfolio can help your returns improve. Why? Because semiconductors are the basic building blocks of a number of things around us, ranging from a tiny calculator to an aircraft, and so, having a company which makes chips that are sold to various end-markets is a good idea.
One such company is Xilinx (NASDAQ: XLNX), which makes programmable chips that are used across various more »
Is a Low-Cost iPhone Behind This Company's Decline?
By Harsh Chauhan - July 29, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS
It was the briefest of commentaries from CEO Jason Rhode that I've witnessed in my time covering Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ: CRUS). I had doubts that the company was losing its wheels, and its recently released first-quarter report didn't do anything to clear my suspicion that something is terribly wrong at Cirrus.

A Smartphone Play You Would Regret Missing
By Harsh Chauhan - July 29, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, T, S, TQNT
If TriQuint Semiconductor's (NASDAQ: TQNT) second-quarter report was a litmus test, then the company passed it with flying colors. After a string of disappointments over the past year or so, TriQuint had promised investors that it would deliver a profitable year in 2013 when it released its first-quarter results three months back, which were terrible to say the least.
The Euphoria Around This Google Glass Play Is Overdone
By Harsh Chauhan - July 25, 2013 | Tickers: GOOG, HIMX
Shares of semiconductor company Himax Technologies (NASDAQ: HIMX) have surpassed all my expectations this year with the stock appreciating more than 200% so far. Much of this rise can be attributed to the company's rumored relationship with the Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Glass project.
However, Himax's recent announcement that Google has agreed to finance its display business, which focuses on the production of liquid crystal on silicon chips (LCOS more »
Doom and Gloom Set to Continue for This Apple Play?
By Harsh Chauhan - July 23, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS
Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ: CRUS) is one of the most well-known Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) derivative plays out there, as the company gets a substantial portion of its revenue from the smartphone behemoth (85% in the March quarter). Hence, it is not surprising that Cirrus has had a torrid time this year, with the stock down close to 30%.
Shares have been beaten up on more than one occasion this year as more »
Make-or-Break Day Coming for This Apple Supplier
By Harsh Chauhan - July 23, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, SSNLF, TQNT
I've been bullish on chipmaker TriQuint Semiconductor (NASDAQ: TQNT) for what seems like ages, but the stock has disappointed me more often than not. However, surprisingly, the company's shares are up more than 46% this year. But, most of that appreciation has happened in the last three months after TriQuint offered a glimmer of hope to investors and stated that it will put a full stop to its more »
This Stock Is Now Headed for the Sky, Don't Miss It
By Harsh Chauhan - July 22, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CHL, SWKS
There was no doubt that chipmaker Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ: SWKS) would spring back to life in the second half of the year, and the company's latest quarterly report and outlook indicate the same. Skyworks beat estimates in the third quarter and its outlook for the ongoing quarter was also ahead of Wall Street estimates.
So, it is no surprise that the stock, which has been under pressure so far more »

Did not have reliable WiFi for the 3 days, despite moving rooms. Management expected the 1 router in the office to feed WiFi to the entire motel. I could never get the office router to show up as an option in my settings. Office was closed at 10pm and opened at 9am, so when I returned to my motel the first night at 11pm there was no one available for assistance. Management also supplied cable WiFi, but I continued to get a "too many devices message" when trying to connect. This is an old motel, overpriced and over rated. The beds probably cost them $50. The 3 star rating should clearly be 1 star.

We had a great stay at the Ocean View Terrace. We were there over the busy 4th of July weekend. Due to mix up with bookings.com, we had a reservation for two people instead of three (which turned into four people). In response, the owners of ocean view terrace went above and beyond to accommodate all of us, giving us a 2nd room at no additional cost. The rooms are clean, comfortable, the staff awesome. The private beach and pool were fantastic for a small family gathering. It felt like we had the place to ourselves.

Topic - Calorie Counting
wilkesley - on 07 Jan 2013
Having logged a few rides using different gpx logging apps, I am interested in how they calculate calories used.
Most seem to use some combination of body weight and distance travelled. Sportstracker seems to take no account of time taken. So if I pootle round one of my circuits, it says I used the same number of calories as arriving at the end a sweating exhausted wreck in half the time.
At one time Sportstracker's calculation seemed wildly over the top. If I ate the same number of calories it reckoned I had used, I would have piled on a few stone per month.
I realize that a number of factors affect how many calories you use on a ride, but am interested in the general algorithms used.

Supply and demand, craft beer style
Chuck Skypeck, principal with Ghost River, recently walked me through several examples of the supply and demand hurdles the Memphis-based brewery faces on a daily basis.
The company is adding two new fermentation tanks which will allow it to produce 10,000 kegs of beer annually versus the current 5,000.
Sounds easy, right? More tanks equals more capacity equals more business. Not quite.
"Brewing tanks like this, you don't go to Walmart for them," Skypeck said. "They are custom-made. There are very few companies in the U.S. that make small scale brewing equipment. Craft beer, small producing breweries – almost all of them are facing the same issues with having trouble keeping up with demand which means they're all trying to order tanks."
In fact, when Ghost River went in October to talk to the bank about a loan to finance the tanks, it required going to the tank manufacturer first to get a quote. In that quote were a price and a delivery time of 30 days.
Fast forward to a month or so later when Ghost River went back to said manufacturer and showed them the money (a really bad Jerry McGuire pun).
"The price hadn't changed, but the delivery time had almost doubled," Skypeck said. "They're in the same boat we're in, there's such a strong demand for the product that their delivery times are expanding."
And with 1,700 breweries nationwide – the majority of which are small like Ghost River – it's easy to see how precious these tanks really are.

More Spy Shots Of Kinnaman As ROBOCOP!!
These pics have, evidently, been in circulation for a few days...but I haven't seen them getting much play. So, let's change that!

This new batch was found at WhatWouldTylerDurtdenDo? and called to our attention by Aint It Cool reader Dario. A few images are presented herein - but jump to WWTDD? for an expanded and embiggenable gallery.

That one human hand
by Salvador_Dalek
I already know the point of it. It's going to be used in some ultra-cheeseball metaphor sequence as he struggles between the fight between his human and machine side. I'm thinking he will be following his programming and forced to gun down someone close to him in the past when he was still fully human (I'm guessing a partner in the police force who got too close to a conspiracy with Omnicorp). She would plead with him not to kill her before yelling something like "You're Alex Murphy!!" He pauses. Looks down at his human hand and his machine hand. His human hand tightens to a fist symbolizing the human side won out. He turns and starts blowing the shit out of Omnicorp.

by Cactus228
Is the fact there can't be a scientific purpose of them using what I assume is his hand. Plus this joke has been made but it really just looks like a jerk off hand.

RoboCop Rises is the title right?
by Mugato5150
Every title has some form of the word "rise" in it nowadays and this design looks like The Dark Knight Rises meets Rise of Cobra. Anyway, this should set box office records, just like other 80s/90s remakes like Total Recall and Dredd.

You would think that in this age of CGI...
by AlienFanatic
They'd be able to really go in a new direction and design the suit so that parts of it really look like it could only be robotic. What I mean is that this CLEARLY looks like a man in a suit. At no point do you believe that, say, a leg is too thin to house a human leg. This looks more like a super-charged exo-suit instead of a robotic replacement for human parts that simply no longer exist. Hell, even the original film featured incredible makeup by Rob Bottin that made it look like Weller's face was grafted onto a metal skeleton. They really could have done some interesting things with the suit if they'd just been creative, but this just seems like lazy design. Sure, there will be CG enhancements, such as things that have to pop out of the frame, but I'm just getting a vibe that the filmmakers lacked the ambition to do anything interesting at all with the design. It really is IRON MAN's cousin's barber's lawn mower's snap-tite "U CAN BE IRON MAN TOO!" kit-builder suit.

I really doubt the human hand is in the movie
by rev_skarekroe
I suspect the actor removes the robohand between takes so he can pick shit up. Those gloves look like mittens. Same reason he's not wearing the mask in these shots - so he's more functional/comfortable when they're not actually filming.

Take 2: STILL LOOKS LIKE SHIT
by wcolbert
And to those of you who kept saying "well mayyybe they'll cgi the suit"... it's pretty clear at this point (especially given the OCP logo on his chest...and how stupid is that by the way) that they'll be using this. I'm assuming this is the same day the other pics were snapped as he is still missing his glove. Either way...looks like 100%, not from concentrate, pure unadulterated jungle-rotted monkey ASS. It really does. Maybe they'll show us some things later on that'll make us all change our minds about this picture. At present, it sure doesn't look like it, though.

Look man, if I have elevate the tone of my argument in favor of this looking fucking awesome, to offset the blind hatred for it (when we all know shit looks stupid in set picutres) then so be it. I have watched the original 1,000 fucking times, its one of my favorites. I've been waiting for another decent Robocop movie forever. In my opinion this will be it. Awesome cast, and Robocop looks like, holy shit, A MORE MODERN ROBOCOP! I mean, does this set pic from the 87 one really look all that much cooler? (media.techeblog.com/images/behind_the_scenes_robocop.jpg)

I think the main reason this looks like a suit
by Thomas
is that in the original Robocop the skin of Weller's head was extended to over the edge of the helmet. It made it look like the helmet was in fact his skull. Here, it's just a guy with a metal helmet on.

Suit looks like suit not like robot "coffin"/shell...
by TheRaidKickedYourAss
...which is how it should be. Murphy is dead and so is his suit. His suit is hard and ridgid looking. Not ergonomic and comfortable to move in. Fluidity of movement should not look as though it can occur. This suit looks like a suit. Not like a robotic shell. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think this movie will be good enough to warrant owning it for the sake of repeat viewings. Just like The Amazing Spiderman for me unfortunately. :(

Yes, dude, Peter Weller's Robocop looks way cooler. More like a...oh, I don't know, a Robot rather than a man in a suit. Look at how his face looks like skin pulled over metal...that shit still easily holds up today.

I'll never forget watching this guy on the first season of "The Killing." He's brilliant. He jumped off the screen. Like masteryoda, I'll wait and see. As much as I love the first film, this HAS to be seen for its own merits. (As any remakes do.)

and the fact that it was sold by peter weller's performance acting like a robot is even cooler.It really made you believe he was a cyborg. A truly inspired design, how do you even come up with something so iconic out of the blue?? The original suit is as iconic as the original predator design, the t-800 skeleton, the aliens. Why would you try to fuck with that? I understand making a few tweaks here and there but this is a total disaster looking at the pics. Maaaybe on film it will take on a different look/feel..But i just cant imagine how..This needs a trailer ASAFP!! They're fucking with our heros!

Maybe it serves a purpose in the story. Maybe this isn't even his final design. Ok carry on, bitches.

They aren't going to do heavy makeup for scenes where he has the helmet on
by glenn_the_frog
For everyone complaining that Weller's had the skin pulled over the head and whatnot (Which did look cool) I'm sure these shots are from between takes with the helmet on. If there's an extended sequence with the helmet off, he won't have the cushy padding around his head. As for the hand? Weller took his gloves off between takes too. It's not the complete final design. But given that these have leaked, they SHOULD do some spin control and release a real studio snapshot soon.
Oct. 10, 2012, 10:47 a.m. CST
He has a face on his torso
by twogunjames
Like a screamy face that is saying "OH NO! THIS SUUUUUUCKS!" The suit looks like a bug. It's not attractive or interesting in the least. And his hand? What the fuck is going on with his hand?
Oct. 10, 2012, 10:47 a.m. CST
We are too used to the classic Robocop suit...
by bubcus
... and this looks like battle armor more than a cyborg. I hope the movie is awesome but if they're going to veer so far away from the classic suit, I hope they do so with the story as well.
Oct. 10, 2012, 10:48 a.m. CST
red right hand.
by Mark
The right hand being a human hand, therefore still (hopefully) connected to his human brain is likely the side he fire his gun from. So it could potentially become a plot device of where he is ordered by the corporation to kill someone (that he has feelings/compassion/wrong thing to do etc..) so that he as a human can disregard those orders and do the human thing and save the world and of course his soul. Just a thought. Mark

ooh, for more fun you could give a backstory to the doctor that saved his right hand, because that was his way of making Murphy "failsafe" so the machine or the people who controlled the machine could never take over the man that is Murphy. So the doctor or scientist, if you wanted you could give a really cool backstory. (The guy who helped iron man in the cave in the first movie comes to mind) One to many monster drinks :-) Mark

Re: glenn_the_frog
by ArmageddonProductions
Sound plausible, except Padhila already went on record as saying more of the actor's face would be exposed. Sadly, I think there's a black salad bowl thing that comes down over his face and ... that's it. That or this. As for the hand, same deal. Two different armors, same hand exposed. One could argue that they'd want to keep the human hand, since that would be his trigger finger and his ability to manipulate small objects, as well as retain a sense of touch. Whatever.</p><p> The original went to great lengths to make it look like somebody had clumsily grafted human body parts onto a robot -- maybe they're trying to use logic here or something and suggest that the exoskeleton needed to do a better job of protecting the human parts or something. It doesn't work, but it does read like studio notes, just like every movie out now has the same fucking JJ Abrahms lens flares (THE AVENGERS, BATTLESHIP, etc.). Now, everything in an armored suit has to look like Batman or Iron Man.
Oct. 10, 2012, 10:59 a.m. CST

We are talking here about one of the greatest scifi movies ever made. A perfect masterpiece. Human drama, social commentary, hard science, r-rated action. It had everything in a balanced mixture of cinematic ingenuity, which holds even today after all these years. It is an immortal movie. But they are remaking it. why oh god, why? Why the fans are interested in this blasphemy? why do they give the best reason to the studios to keep vomiting this trash remakes? Would the fans be equally anxious for a remake of Citizen Kane? ofc no. then why the fuck do they keep supporting this remake business which has killed Hollywood for good?

by Heronymo
The claims that the face and hand are visible because they're in-between takes are, I'm sorry to say, incorrect. :) Wait for the movie. Judge it then. It's a modern take on RoboCop. A lot has changed since the 80s, including how things from the future are designed. If a real company were to build RoboCop, it would look a lot closer to this design than the one from the 80s.

by Chris
Because it's an awful, cliche design? For fucks sake, he looks like Channing Tatum in GIJOE:RISE OF COBRA. He doesn't look robotic, he looks like a guy in a suit. I understand they're streamlining him, but he still looks like a guy in a suit. Not to mention the one human hand. Every shot with this guy has him with that one hand. EVERY. SHOT. It's in the movie, folks. It's part of the movie. If they were going to replace it with CG, he'd have a green or blue glove over that hand. But he doesn't have one because the actual hand is going to remain. That's how terrible a movie this is. Not only that, they actually incorporate his design into the story, 'OmniCorp' makes him look like this so he look cool. So the movie is attempting to be satirical about the way RoboCop is designed, mocking that companies make decisions with a room full of suits, when in reality RoboCop is being designed by a room full of suits. It's as though the people making the film are completely oblivious to what satire is. As for everyone saying this film will fail, it won't. I bet you this will be a box office success and lead to sequels. People suck. They'll have a marketing campaign with lots of explosions that will draw in the illiterate masses and all the people who don't know of the original. Watch.

The whole appeal for me with Robocop was that he was like a walking Tank, slow but inexorable. And clearly a flawed creation, with static in his vision and a bit rough around the edges.. You could definately tell he was a prototype. This design looks far too 'clean' and lean for the Robocop universe. It wouldn't surprise me if he starts bouncing around and flying like a ninja either. If he does, I think that will be final proof that they have missed the concept of what Robocop was. Final Judgement is reserved for when I see it in motion and also the 'Death' scene. Which I'm betting will be tame and lax compared to the original...

Wasn't the whole point about Robocop the whole "is he a man or is he a machine?" question. This just looks like a guy in a suit. Its more Six Million Dollar Man than Robocop. All fluffy and family friendly. Eek !!

by rebel299
not some dude wearing a batman costume. i know its been said plenty, but i just want to add to the fire. seriously, the original robocop design is a million times cooler. i never had a hard time believing that it was a robot with a few human parts connected to it. this? as has been previously stated looks like they're just gonna dump some dead guy into an iron man suit. ugh.

by Larry Sellers
The fuck is up with that guy? He turned down Wolverine too. I know this isn't going to be an EXACT remake, but it can still be a good movie. The design of the suit (however out of context these pics are) is just kinda off putting. And that script review doesn't help. Was that ever confirmed to be an old draft? Because if there really is a scene where they shoot down the old suit as a potential design...I mean it just shows how little respect they have. They're not echoing anyone's feelings here.

Shut the fuck up, man. The fact that you're insulting PEOPLE for insulting a MOVIE is obnoxious. You're a moron if you can sit back and watch this movie come together and NOT mock it. For this RoboCop remake they've hired a bunch of fairly decent and well known actors, like Samuel L. Jackson and Gary Oldman, because they're both in multibillion dollar franchises right now, they'll certainly bring some recognition to their roles, right? Oh, they're even making RoboCop look more modern and up to date! Apparently modern means making him look like everyone else? And what color is he? BLACK! Why, they even have a CGI, over the top, Transformers-esque ED-209. This movie has all the markings of a shit film with every decision for it being made by a boardroom trying to maximize the films marketing potential. You can totally see some suit in a boardroom saying, "A black, sleek looking RoboCop is WAY cooler than dull, clunky gun metal gray, right? Right? People think black is COOL! Black is cool still, right? And we need a Transformer, this is the future after all. I don't care where... but we need one. Maybe make that robot thing the cop fights into one big transformer. Yeah. I like it." They've gone with every absurd cliche they could in remaking this movie. It's like that RobotChicken episode where they mock the CGI enhanced rerelease of JAWS. Everything they could possibly do to offend people with good taste they're doing in this God awful RoboCop remake. They're doing the cliche, streamlined, 'modern' design, they're doing the over the top CG spectacle, they've got big name stars so that hopefully no one will notice the awful lines they're delivering. Now this is when you say something about how you'll wait til the movie is out to reserve judgement, and how we're a bunch of angry old people, but the bottom line is ROBOCOP and any other remakes being pumped out by the studios these days, are being made for people like you. You'll reserve your judgement for when you pay $13 to see it in 3D, and by the time you've handed over your money, the studio has already won. You'll go in, see a piece of shit remake, and the studio gets their money. No repeat business from you, of course, but that's what they're banking on, just enough money from the first round of viewers to get the franchise going again so they can continue to milk it until people beg them to stop.

You're killing your father, Larry.
by Chris
I think we're beginning to see why Aronofsky dropped out of this film. The studio wanted to make some hip, 'realistic,' modern retelling of RoboCop that was scrutinized and molded by a boardroom into an action flick that will generate the most profit and buzz among tweens. Aronofsky probably wanted to do something creative and innovative, the studio quashed his thoughts and ideas, so he moved on to something he could exercise control over and not be forced to listen to the mad ravings and crazed demands of clueless studio executives.

Why not just make a NEW franchise with Robo-Dark Knight here? Why even link it to Robocop if you want to do a Cool modern one pale white fleshy hand Crysis wanna-be? Oh, that's right, because if you use the Robocop name, you can take advantage of people's fond memories of the original and get MORE asses in seats to make MORE money in a throw-away franchise, and forever tarnish the original in your quest for mo' money mo' money MO' MONEY!!! Who knows, maybe people would love this suit if it was, you know, a different ORIGINAL character instead of raping the past so a giant studio conglomerate can milk more money out an era of Hollywood that actually had a higher hit-rate of quality versus the pure DRECK drivel garbage that we're forced to put up with today.

Can we all agree that we can at least be happy the suit isn't CGI?
by MJDeViant
I don't think this look bothers me as much as others AND I think Joel is a good actor, so I'll remain slightly optimistic. BUT, I am so glad we don't just have a green suit or some shit that they would add in post. ALTHOUGH, it might have been neat to have some of Joel removed because a robotic body doesn't necessarily have to take up all the space a human one does. SO he could be skinnier or have parts that have vents going through his body or something (for cooling?). I like the original Robocop but I don't think it was fantastic like everybody else. I also hate seeing remakes/reboots for the most part. For some reason though, i just don't feel so bothered by this one or the suit (because I'd imagine cops would use black. Most of their gear is black, guns are black, vests and helmets are black, etc.)

by RockLobster800
Thats not a behind the scenes "hes not in full costume" kinda thing, cos theres been a few different leaks over the weeks, and in every picture the guy has a human hand. The same hand ungloved. Not both of them, just the one. And from a practical point of view, it makes like zero sense.Why would they give Robocop a human hand? I mean, hes supposed to be built to withstand everything. Surely if hes under a shitload of machine gun fire or punching through stuff (which he did a lot of as I recall), surely that one human hand is more of a handicap? Unless he needs it for like...fingerprint access to OCP or something. But surely having his own fingerprints would be more of a link to his former life? Which means A) It'd be easier for him to stumble across his own past (which OCP wouldn't want to happen) or B) for criminals to find out who he was and target his family. Unless that's what they're working into the plot...but they wouldn't. Right? I mean, at least give him a glove or something, just for symmetry...

by MoistMuskyCamelToe
A few stills of a set piece between takes is not enough with which to evaluate a movie, especially when a pane of glass is in the way. Seems completely unkind and unfair to pass judgment on any effort, whether artistic or commercial, before it is finished. Do you like it when your boss comes in and trashes your work in progress? It's a dick move. I'm not an apologist. I'm not interested in seeing Robocop remade. But I call bullshit on all the haters. You don't know from a few images how a film will turn out.

Re:book and cover - why are we judging the whole movie based on some shots of an actor in costume?
by openthepodbaydoorshal
1) The costume design is wholly unoriginal. As stated above, it resembles other designs, Crysis, Iron Man, etc. Rob Bottin's original design looked like nothing that came before it. This looks like a lazy design. 2) The design itself, indicating an extoskeleton, means the production fails to realize that Robocop is a machine. A robot with the brain of a cop with everything else wiped out. May be wrong...but doubt it. 3) The concept of remaking Robocop at all. The original was lightning in a bottle. Script, cast, director,....everything is pretty much perfect.

Maybe, like Verhoeven's 3 masterpiece satires, this is a smokescreen...
by Aiden Blackwell
Verhoeven got Hollywood to pay him millions to satire American culture and politics right under their noses... RoboCop was a satire of corporate agendas, Total Recall was a (to this day...) hugely misunderstood satire of the audience's need to escape reality and immerse themselves in the false reality of Hollywood action films... And Starship Troopers was a satire of US foreign policy and fascism... Maybe, just maybe, this a 'stealth' satire on Hollywood remakes...? Id Padilla pulled that off under the studio's nose, we'd all bow to effigies of him... Or, maybe, its gonna suck...

There's been a lot of skepticism and outright "looks terrible" on this thread, but to me, in all honesty, I think the suit looks pretty badass. Peter Weller did a great job in the original film, no doubt, but I'm feeling some fizzy sense that this film might outshine the original. The stuff people here are saying about the suit is valid, I suppose, if you're not really interested in story and have ADD. But consider the director, the cast of actors, and the fact this film will likely be rated R. Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Michael freakin' Keaton, and Jackie Earle Haley, among others, will be surrounding Joel Kinnamon in this new "Robocop." I say forget the suit and consider the crazy possibilities with that cast. Because Kinnamon himself ain't chopped liver, I'll tell you that. He was great in "The Killing," and I honestly think that with this up-and-coming director, cast, and effects budget, much of which will be practical, this film could seriously surprise people. I'm pretty fired up for it.

Re: mastershake
by Jeff
Above you wrote, "The original suit looked like it was designed as actual military hardware." This is a valid point if you don't know much about modern polymers. Do you? I'm not sure, I'm just asking. Because the truth is that Weller's suit in the original would've been frighteningly heavy and unwieldy, even with actual military hardware. Most pushes into the field of robotics, at MIT and CalTech, among other, far less public places, have been about making the robotic chassis as light as possible so the body can move and fight with less weight and resistance. Weller's heavy metal suit was an 1980's dream. I think the suit Padilha is presenting will update that dream, big time, to something far more ass-kicking.
Oct. 10, 2012, 7:17 p.m. CST
The design is of a suit to fit a man. Not a mechanical body. Also that out fit used in GI Joe?

Seriously for all the, "It's Crysis." The power suit in that looked better. Yes Iron Man seems more robotic. However it reminds me of what ever those power suits they wore in the first GI Joe movie. You know running through paris ect.

Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood... What are we going to do with you? Not pleased. Not pleased at all... Still rooting for the director, his work is good. The cast too. But this industry is full of so many jerks (yes, that means I also work in it speaking from experience, blah blah, I'm not boasting about it), any original idea can easily be ruined, especially if it's in the mid to high budget range and more hands are in the kitchen. What if this film only had a smaller budget instead of the jugillions thrown at it? Then we'd have a hard R film, take risks, and do something really new. "DREDD 3D" had a $50 million budget but didn't do well mostly due to an uninspired marketing campaign, maybe also a bit on the final product itself depending on your viewpoint (I loved it). Generally people become (in theory) MUCH more creative with more limitations, like lack of money. The writing, vision, focus all become tighter and more concentrated. Seems the more money you have, the lazier you get.

They should stop filming stuff in Toronto....
by Bricklyne
Virtually every remake made is filmed in the T.O and virtually all of them suck donkey balls. Search your hearts, you know this to be true. Everyone in Canada from outside the greater Toronto area knows this. Fantastic Four (both crapfests), The Resident Evil series (technically not a remake but still....), Incredible Hulk.... and the list goes on. If you really want to save money by filming in Canada, then stick to either Montreal or Vancouver. They still do movies right in those cities.

That being said, this Robocop remake would still probably have sucked in any city...

If you're defending this design, then you're delusional.
by one9deuce
I'm sick of hearing: "It's a MODERN take on the suit". Yeah, it's modern. And probably what a realistic and practical robocop would look like. It's also boring as hell. Boring. As. Hell. Modern design is so homogenized and dull. And it's that way with everything now. Cars are a good example of this. Here is a picture of a 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood: http://autoappraisalsbyalan.com/1958%20Cadillac%20Sixty%20Special.jpg It's beautiful. It's unique. It's a classic. Here is a picture of the newest Cadillac Sedan: http://www.bebo.com/new-cars/car-images/2011-cadillac-cts-sedan-sedan-1.jpg It's typical. It's boring. It's dull. It looks like the previous ten years of Cadillac Sedans, and worse, it looks like the next 50 years of Cadillac Sedans. The original Robocop design is instantly recognizable and iconic. Rob Bottin did something fascinating and memorable. And Peter Weller brought the suit to life in an incredible way. NOTHING looks like the classic Robocop. EVERYTHING looks like the remake Robocop.
Oct. 11, 2012, 1:25 a.m. CST
Take these spy pics for instance, someone could photoshop in the silver Bottin suit with the Jonah Hill look-a-like focus puller in the background and I think it would look just fine.

What in the name of Verhoeven is that?...
by Darkness
The suit looks like a mash-up of Iron Man and a preliminary design for something out of G.I Joe: Looks putrid, to say the least. Although the bottom half sems to resemble the classic armour. Another pointless remake of an original that set presedence for science fiction, and excessive viloence in the 80's; which of course led to Verhoeven's own "Total Recall". Hopefully this whole craze of revisiting films of yesteryear and glossing them over with a new brush will eventually be transient, because it sure as hell didn't do the recent "Recall" remake any favors - just gave it a bloody nose.
Oct. 11, 2012, 3:49 a.m. CST
Maybe it's a "Robocop's first night" look
by beeter
Maybe they'll have a scene where the blatantly obvious would happen, and on Robocop's first encounter with someone with a gun and half decent accuracy would find himself minus the right hand and with a big hole in his face, thus causing OCP to tweak the design with something less stupid.
Oct. 11, 2012, 5:26 a.m. CST
Looks like the Iron Man suit, painted in Dark Knight colors
by christpunchers2007
Fuck me. The original Robo looked CLUNKY and ROBOTIC. This looks like a character out of TRON.

Why shouldnt robocop be remade? Well....
by Father
....personally i think its because robocop was a once in a lifetime kinda thing- Lighting in a bottle. A combination of timing and talent and subject matter that could only happen once and cant really be succsessfully replicated . Notice how every robocop sequel that lacked the satirical bite , dark humour and heart of the orignal, fucking sucked? Yeah me too. Take away the unique mix of big buissiness satire, jet black humour and inventive ultraviolence from a robocop movie and it aint robocop no more- just a shitty action movie featuring a guy in an uncomfortable looking costume , which is what this movie will be and why it really shouldnt have been remade . Also, fucking hell that new robocop armour looks stupid. He looks like the kind of no name bad guy you'd kill in the first half hour of a typical first person shooter . Fuck this shit.
Oct. 11, 2012, 7:07 a.m. CST
father - Truth be told, I think the world is too POLITICALLY CORRECT now for a Robocop remake. I mean what's the point? The producers and studios don't want to offend anyone so why bother?

Part of the fun/pathos of the original Robocop was that he was an abomination
by Crimson Dynamo
particularly in the shots without the helmet - it looked like it would be painful to be him It would be cooler if he looked like the I, Robot robot, but with a human face grafted on. this is just man-in-suit stuff
Oct. 11, 2012, 9:17 a.m. CST
Was that suit leftever from GIJoe: Rise of Cobra?
by Prem1x
WTF with the design change? Oh yeah, sell more tyoo.

Put a couple fin blades on and call him Guyver...
by Andrew Coleman
Why hasn't anyone attempted that again? This suit looks like either a weaponless Guyver or an "edgy" Power Ranger. I'm not hating. Fuck I'll probably see this movie. Unless it's PG-13. Then fuck it I won't. But why are they still remaking movies? Has any remake been a hit? King Kong I guess was... But like I just don't understand why they keep pushing these. None of them seem to be hits. If you were a gambling man. Wouldn't you put money down on this to bomb? Also make a new Guyver movie.

Awful suit might be ok if this keeps the satirical elements...
by Badger999
The original movie had a fairly strong sense of satire. *If* they're going to go for that tone in the remake, and they're going to satirize what's become the standard-issue action movie, then this might work. Maybe. That's the only way I can see this working out well... the suit is awful on its own - if we're supposed to take it seriously. But in the right context, maybe it can work.

In the previous spy shots the suit looked like shit, but now I kinda like it. It almost looks like a different suit.

Just from the look of this...

They need to retitle it as "ROBOSHIT". Or staying with Hollywood's need to be uncreative and uninspired, why not just rip off Spinal Tap and call this "SHIT SANDWICH" Because thats what it is... ...Keep fuckin that chicken...

by Mace Tofu
So what we are seeing is just a normal uniform for the police and the robocop is made to look like the suit they wear. The bottom photo has thicker arms and a different chest plate than the photo you can see the face.

What makes you think they'll get Robocop? I'll guarantee this movie will be way too serious for its own good.
Oct. 11, 2012, 11:44 p.m. CST
I'm actually excited!
by Jay Hemp
Oh jesus fucking christ, stop bitching! If they made the suit big and boxy like the original movie then a hundred people would be here bitching that it 2012 why can't they make a sleek modern suit! And for the record, the original movie and suit was cool when I was 12 but not so much now!

Costume looks bland and uninspired.
by DuncanDisorderly
Also, I'm betting that the exposed right hand is so that he can fire a gun. There's no way he could use his left hand to fire anything less than a Gatling gun. Still, if that indeed is the case, then they could have at least stretched the budget to give the new Robo a black glove for his right hand.

This suit isn't Robocop, it's RegularCop
by HonestAbe
I think I know what's going on here, as I'm watching the original on Netflix right now. This black body armor thing isn't RoboCop, it's the standard police body armor BEFORE Murphy gets waxed and becomes Robocop. In the original, all the cops have black body armor just for walking the beat. Once he becomes a cyborg, he'll look like a proper RoboCop. pleaseletthisbetrue

It's called a monome--it's a light board matrix controller that's connected to a computer. The purpose of this musical instrument is to create a myriad of sampled instrumental sounds--a collage of sounds if you will. While this instrument is considered by many to be a slightly abstract music tool, the Los Angles-based electronic maestro Daedelus uses the monome to its full advantage. Dressing in Victorian-era clothing during his live performances, Daedelus (or Alfred Darlington) controls the monome with theatrical hand movements that highlight the musicians affection for performance ability.View More >
