A Real, Live, Grovelbot??

This 5 min video on you tube got this Argentinian director 30 million dollar directing deal. It is very well done scifi short with robots and ufo's, and it starts out with a kid playing with not one, but two Grovelbots. I had to go back to make sure that is what I saw.

If you like the Grovelbot, or if you like scifi, it is worth the time, in my humble opinion. :)

12. Well, I don't know about all that.
I mean, he didn't have any lines. But it is a promising start for for our little Grovelbot, and it is good to know he has other options, if the DU thing doesn't work out.

Very cool vid.

5. I don't get it

7. That would be an AWESOME user name!!! Allow me to eplain...
"Calidad" is Spanish for "HOT"!!!

So, it's pretty funny, I mean I didn't see anything HOT in the part of that youtube I watched.

And CaliDAD would be a funny user name, hot daddy!

:P

8. I think it might have been a reference

11. According to my Firefox translator,
"Video con maxima calidad" means "video with maximum quality".

9. Um, not to put too fine a point on it, but "caliente" is Spanish for "hot".
"Calidad" means "quality".
