I would love to own the Marvel Productions animated series on DVD.

Also, did anybody else ever read the original Marvel Robocop comics? They aren't over-the-top gory (as is the case these days) but had some nice character beats.

I mean, obviously it comes down to subjective tastes, but it seems right up my alley. Going to give it another go sometime.

Meanwhile, I'm really just wondering what Neil Blomkamp is up to now. My faith in him is wavering, for sure, but tease "Distrct 10" and you'll have me pumped.

Robocop is one of those movies where it doesn't feel like there is a clear protagonist/antagonist plot established. Murphy is killed, comes back as something possibly sub-human, kills a bunch of the people who killed him (but doesn't seem to take much personal pleasure in it), and finally takes down the corrupt company man as a little favor to mankind... movie over.
