Best Film Ever Made!!!

Have you ever finished watching a movie and thought to yourself, "That was the best movie I have ever seen, that has to be the best movie ever made"? Well if not, this is only because you have not seen the movie I just finished watching the other day. Here is a link to the trailer so you can see what I am talking about: ROBOCOP 3!!!!

After I watched the movie I wanted more but there is yet to be a Robocop 4 I wanted to see if it was number 1 or 2 on the AFI top movies of all time list. You can check out the list here: top 10 of all time.

I bet you are now just as shocked as I was when I didn't see Robocop 3 on the list. I started thinking, "How can this be? There has to be another opinion" I went to Rotten Tomatoes to get their take and I was shocked again when I saw this:


5% are you serious? The T-Meter has never let me down before. It's like my world is crashing down, someone has to understand this is the best movie ever! I tried my last resort for solid and honest opinion...Amazon! And like always I was not let down. Here are a few examples of what I found:

This is the first time I remember the third film in a series being the absolute best. Maybe it is because this is the film where Robocop finally gets his priorities straight- as well as the rest of the Detroit PD.


5.0 out of 5 stars Best robocop movie of all, October 15, 2001
By Amaris (Iowa)
He has the new sweet gun that attaches to his arm equiped with a flame thrower,machine gun and a powerful gernade launcher that has the capability of destroying a very heavily armored tank which it does.Robocop 3 is a must see.




5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Science Fiction Cop Drama *EVER*, May 8, 2005
By Vic G. Sarjoo "VicSarjoo" (New York & New Orleans) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
The finest film of the three and easily the best science fiction film of the past half-century, Robocop 3 is a film epic.

Few films are able to successfully combine the meta-ideas that haunt Mary Shelley's work and appropriately transform the tenets of Victorian horror to the screen. Robocop 3 accomplishes this masterfully, yet also manages to retain the subtleties of character not seen in a script since Hoffman's and Bancroft's work in "The Graduate".

The cinematic special effects wizardry are perhaps only dwarfed by the Oscar-worthy performances of this elite ensemble cast.


Yes you read that right on the last comment "Oscar-worthy performances!!" Keep that in mind when you view the clips I will post later. These actors are the real deal, some of the best performances I have ever seen. You might think Tom Hanks in Forest Gump was good acting but that is only because you have not seen the heart wrenching death scene between Robocop and his partner Lewis. Oh I am sorry if I spoiled it for you, dang.


So now I am at a crossroads, Amazon customers agree with me but AFI and Rotten Tomatoes do not. I thought and thought and I am now on a personal mission to make the world know Robocop 3 is the best movie ever made. I am going to do this by posting a few clips from the best parts of the movie on this blog and let all of my blog readers view it. There is no way the AFI can ignore the millions of "Life of Tyse" fans!

Now, I hope you understand that getting video from DVD to the Net is much harder than you would think. I had to try 10 different software tools but I finally got it done. I had to rip the DVD, edit the clips down to what I wanted, export them out to a decent file size with the right quality (this was the hardest part), and finally upload them to blogger. Well it's all done and now I have video on my blog, yeah that is right, video blog baby, what now! What you gonna do about it? Ok, sorry, I got a little carried away.

Now, this movie has every element of a great film. Each clip is meant to be a demonstration of my point. I will explain each element I am trying to demonstrate before I show you the clip.

#1 Action and drama. In this clip the s.w.a.t team or police have broken into the rebels hide out. The lady is not scared to handle a gun and goes down. Look at the concern in the child's face, and then notice the chilling realism you can almost see the final beats of her heart as she collapses on the bed or cot, I really don't know what she collapses on.



#2 Special Effects. You thought Robocop was a bad ass, well wait until you have seen a ninja cyborg. That is right, this movie has robots that are ninjas and if you hit them with a metal pole it doesn't matter because their face will just go back to normal thanks to the awesome special effects.



#3 More awesome special effects. Robocop gets a few upgrades, yep a jet pack!!! Surprise, I bet you didn't expect that Robocop can now FLY! and he has a rocket launcher for an arm now. If that doesn't convince you I do not know what will.



#4 Inspiration. See in the best movies there is always an inspiring moment. This is usually when everyone gets involved in the battle and it becomes a joint force that is just unstoppable. Well to illustrate this point I cannot think of a better example than a granny with a machine gun!



#5 Drama and Oscar-Worthy Acting. All right, here it is, be ready to cry. This is the clip I was telling you about where Lewis dies. I am getting choked up just thinking about it. After she dies pay close attention to what Robocop says, the sound might suck a little so I will tell you, he says, "Officer Down" now can you think of a more fitting phrase? That's right Robo, officer down, a great officer down.



#6 Comedy. The plot thickens, the police can no longer handle the rebels. So what do they do? That's right, arm up the local punk gang. The punk gang is called, "The Splatter Punks" and they are a very scary bunch but not too bright. This is where the comedy comes in, now pay attention in the background where the one guy is trying to put a helmet on but his mohawk is just too big and he is all confused. Ha ha ha, I think this is so funny, big mohawk, little helmet what else do you want?



#7 Dramatic Finish. Robocop comes in and saves the day and everyone is so happy. The head of the police force is just so happy with Robocop he tries to call him by his real name....Murphy. But now Robocop is so happy and complete and since his partner died who used to call him Murphy more than anyone else he just goes by Robocop! Make sure you pay close attention to the guys reaction after he asks the question.



Hopefully you have now thrown out your copy of Gone With The Wind and now have Robocop 3 on order from Amazon. If not, then you must have a strange idea of what the best movie ever made is.

First Day Back In The O-Face

WOW!!! I took a lot of time off. I don't really know why, I guess it's because I used to work from home 5 days a week and nothing that interesting or funny happens to you when you work from home.

So today is my first day back in the office a few days a week and I already am getting some good blog ideas. My notepad is filling up so stay tuned and I might have some more posts and I might not, it just depends on how I feel and how things come across after I type them. You would be surprised at how many unfinished blog posts I have that seemed real good in my mind then I wrote them out and after reading them over they just suck!!!

Frustrating thing happened here on my first day, I had to call the help desk because my Outlook was all jacked up and I didn't want to take the time to fix it. See when you have a help desk available to you it's great. You just tell them to take control of your computer and fix the problem while you head out to lunch.

So I called the help desk and gave them all my info, the agent tells me he cannot find me in the system, let me give you some background. I work for a consulting company that contracts with a very large financial company. My contract expired last month but was extended for six more months. Well I guess somebody didn't give somebody else the memo or email so I was purged from the HR system. So this help desk agent could not VERIFY that I was an actual contractor. I kept telling him I just needed Outlook fixed, this is how the convo went:

Me: I just need you to fix Outlook, it should only take 5 mins
Agent: Sir, I cannot help you or continue to talk to you on the phone until I have validated your status
Me: I don't know why I am not in the system, I will email my boss and have her fix it, but I just need you to fix Outlook so I can email my boss to correct the issue.
Agent: What is your employee id
Me: I don't have an employee id because I AM A CONTRACTOR for the fifth time!!
Agent: Sir, hold on
Me: holding, singing songs, counting to 10, looking up football scores
Agent: Ok, Sir, thanks for holding, we cannot find you in the contractor database you will need to have your supervisor fix this before we can help you.
Me: My supervisor is very busy and really only responds to email, I cannot email her because my Outlook is all jacked up and you will not fix it for me.
Agent: Listen sir, I am sure you are a authorized user of the system, but I have to make sure before I can help you.
Me: Well why don't you help me, then after you fix my Outlook we can both stay on the phone and call my supervisor or email her or whatever you want to do but I cannot do my job without Outlook.
Agent: Sir, how do I know you're not a computer hacker trying to gain access to the system?
Me: Are you freaking serious? Ok, I admit it, you caught me, I woke up this morning and created a fake id badge on my home made badge making machine, then I drove into the office and hypnotized the security guards to let me into the first set of glass doors. Then I beat up a small man and took his laptop and badge, made my way to the 10th floor and kicked open the elevator doors that will not let you off unless your badge has access for that floor. Then I used a diamond cutter to cut a perfectly round hole through the second set of glass doors just big enough for my body to fit through. Then I found an empty desk and plugged in the laptop I stole from the small man. I bypassed his encryped hard drive, cracked the system admin password, then used a network back door to gain access to a rogue server. I then created an SSH tunnel to the financial systems and I am now downloading millions of dollars into my bank account and while I was waiting for the download I tried to send an email to my MySpace friend when I realized the Outlook program is messed up on this laptop and since my superior hacking skills do not apply to Outlook I called you.

I then hung up the phone and left a voice mail for my boss to call me back.

Sometimes I really hate large corporate BS
