Spike Jonze is cool (think music videos for Beastie Boys, Björk, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Sonic Youth, Breeders, FatBoy Slim, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the chairman of the board himself, The Notorious B.I.G.). Robots are cool (think, well, robots in their entirety. Especially ones wielding lasers). So Spike Jonze plus robots must be cool, right? I can only really say potentially here. I mean, the film itself looks cool but what’s this? Sponsored by Absolut Vodka? It wouldn’t actually be so bad if it didn’t somehow creep into the film itself, but with the tag-line “A Love Story in an Absolut World” I have a horrifying feeling that it has. Absolut Vodka is weird, but I think any vodka is weird since I drank too much as a misguided youth. And what about the state of indie films, about how they’ve sold out to corporations and blah blah? Well, I don’t give a crap about that. I like robots. End of. And their being in this film a-plenty = win.

I look forward to seeing this film in full some time if it ever comes out, if anyone knows anything let me know? I have also found out someone has printed a book to coincide with the imminent release or something, which can be found here and looks kinda cool perhaps maybe.
