Cyber Monday can also be a real drag, can’t it?

Do they really expect us to do all of our online shopping today?

Don’t they have any idea who they’re dealing with?

Do we have any idea who “they” even are?

By it’s very nature, Cyber Monday is a bit of hype cooked-up by “e-tailers” to bring attention to the impact of online shopping on the holiday season. Now that major retailers like Walmart are joining the party, major ad campaigns are pushing Black Friday’s cyborg cousin right down our throats.

So, following our listing of 10 Good Movie Robots in honor of Cyber Monday, let’s take a trip to the dark side and chronicle some Bad Robots, with apologies to J.J. Abrams, of course.

10. Sonny: I, Robot

Was Sonny a good guy, or a bad guy? I actually forget how it ends. All I know is that when the robots start killing the humans, no matter what their motivation, it’s time to shut ‘em down. Hear that, Dr. Graystone?

9. Pris: Blade Runner

  • Warner Bros.
  • Ridley me this, which Blade cut is the best?



With so many versions of Blade Runner on the market, let’s all agree on one thing: Pris is a bad ass replicant! The dark side of A.I.’s Gigolo Joe, Pris plays for keeps.
