Hah... wow.  Nice.  By the time you were born, I'd already seen RoboCop like 120+ times.

Great film.  I like all of Paul Verhoven's stuff, though - RoboCop is brilliant satire.  Funny side story, the actor who played him, Peter Weller, is an adjunt professor at Syracuse University, in my town.  He's about town quite frequently; few years ago, I had a pint of Guinness with him, and we talked about RoboCop.  He's a serious actor, but he still loves to talk about that film.  Cool guy.

Yep.  But still, as an adjunct who comes in to teach a seminar course every once in a while, he gets paid a pretty princely sum.  SU has money coming out of it's ass; it's ridiculous.  Course they don't spend any of it on protecting the campus from the ever encroaching ghetto at it's borders.
