    I believe at 1:13 BD beta is attempting to do the Kid 'n' Play. This is the most sophisticated advance in robotics since Hans Moravec perfected a unit that could perform a perfect Electric Slide and then the Inspector Gadget.


    Can Windmills and Pumping Turtle Floats be far behind?

    Truly, we live in exciting times

    @exo: the bigdog beta parody was just two people wearing a stupid covering. the actual bigdog was a robot, a really really creepy robot that i'm sure del toro will use in his next film somehow.
