Real Steel

Hugh Jackman has a new movie coming out called Real Steel.  In the movie, robots have replaced humans in boxing, and Hugh Jackman's character built a robot with his son that would hopefully win a championship.  The robots are massive and controlled by humans from the side.  The trailer is here:

Mr. Y keeps calling it the Rock-Em, Sock-Em Robots, the Movie.  For those of us too young to remember, here is what they look like:

I had been telling Mr. Y that I think he's crazy and that no one else thinks of this movie that way.  But when we were riding the bus to the Giants v. Rams game last Monday, there were two guys who talked about the movie and called it the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie, too.  So I have to admit that Mr. Y is not the only one who thinks that way... :)

We would eventually like to see this movie - Mr. Y for the robots and me for Hugh Jackman.
