PimpBot 5000: PimpBot is the robot pimp on the old Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Conan described him, “as combining the classic sensibilities of a 1950's robot with the dynamic flair of a 1970's street pimp”. PimpBot once mixed it up with Jonathan Harris who played Dr. Zachary Smith on Lost in Space.  No word on its plans for world or galactic domination.

Pacific Rim -- Movie Review

So, I saw Pacific Rim this week.  It is very tough to avoid spoilers in this day and age, but I avoided all trailers, previews, reviews, and almost had to give up Twitter and RSS until I could see the movie.

For those that know me, this should be a movie for me.  I LOVE giant monster movies.  I have been a Godzilla fan since I was a kid, and I have seen a large array of kaiju movies.  I even see the terrible ones.  Yes I have seen the non-Godzilla Rolland Emerich thing.  I have even seen Pulgasari -- the movie Kim Jong-Il had made by kidnapping a South Korean filmmaker.  I have seen Garuda a Thai kaiju movie. I could go on and on.

To make a good giant monster movie, you need to follow a few simple rules.

1. You need a reason for the monsters to exist and attack.
• Good - The original Godzilla existed because of atomic testing and attacked for the same reason.  
• Bad - The marine iguana-like thing that attacked New York apparently always existed and picked New York for some nebulous reason -- and it was born pregnant.
2. If giant things fight, a definite "Good vs Evil" must be established.
• Good - Godzilla and Jet Jaguar are clearly the good guys when they face off against the Seatopian controlled Megalon and Gigan.
• Bad - Two earth children are kidnapped by aliens, so of course Gamera gets involved.  Gamera totally cares about xeno-relations.
3. Fighting and destruction (particularly with CGI effects) should just be a minor part of the movie.
• Good - The family is the important part of this movie.  The monster is just a plot device.  It is about characters.
• Bad - Two words -- Michael Bay.

So, what does all of this have to do with Pacific Rim?  Well, it gets all of these right.  At no point was I like -- enough with the CGI fighting -- it is 2013 we're not impressed with it anymore.  It fit.  It worked.  You know what we are fighting and why.  You know what is happening.  Guillermo del Toro gets it.  He is a story teller.  He knows how to make a kaiju movie!

My only complaint is one of the complaints I had about Cloverfield.  The monsters are too complicated.  They are very Gamera/Ultraman like -- involved and weird.  They just didn't work for me.  It is my personal belief that kaiju should be simple.  When we are working with giant monsters, we need to be able to get our head around them.  It is difficult if they have so much going on.

This movie is what giant robots vs. giant monsters should be.  It was fantastic!  Now on to another US Godzilla movie -- cross your fingers!

W1K1 (aka W.I.K.I. or Wiki): Wiki is the pocket-sized robot that looks like a wind-up toy.  It appears in 1978-81's Jason of Star Command , which is a spin-off from Space Academy.   W1k1 assisted the members of Star Command in their fight against the evil Dragos and his sinister compatriots.  Fighting against galactic domination?  Seems implausible.

Vanessa Kensington: Vanessa is the daughter of Marie Kensington who was Austin Powers's partner from the 60's. Vanessa is introduced in 1997's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. She is initially repulsed by Austin Powers's un-P.C. attitude; however, by film's end -- she marries him. On the other hand, in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me Austin finds out Vanessa is actually a fembot -- a female robot assassin. I guess that makes Austin Powers a robo-sexual.

V'Ger: From the 1979 movie Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It is also referred to as "Where Nomad Has Gone Before". A giant and deadly alien cloud called V'Ger is approaching Earth destroying everything in its way. Poor V'Ger was actually an Earth probe called Voyager 6 created in the 20th century that happened to vanish in a black hole and was repaired by a race of living machines (maybe it was the Transformers) and then sent home to seek "the creator". Fortunately, Kirk's rival Captain Decker (who blames Kirk for the death of his father Commodore Matt Decker who took on the Doomsday device) sacrifices himself to merge with V'Ger and his bald girlfriend who is now a robot to become a new being. They/it zoom off to another dimension and do only God knows what.
