Johnny Five no longer wants to be alive

I don't know Steve Carr. He could be a great guy who spends his day caring for the sick and elderly while writing poetry so beautiful that it makes the infertile turn fertile and thinking of mathematical theorems that will solve sadness. I just know that he's the guy who directed Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Daddy Day Care, and Dr. Doolittle 2. So, based on the facts that I know, I feel comfortable hating Steve Carr. News broke from Variety today that Steve "bad touch" Carr is going to be ruining the remake of Short Circuit, a terrible movie I loved from back in the day. How bad do you have to be to RUIN a Steve Guttenberg movie? For those who have wisely used the space taken up by memories of Short Circuit to store more important things (like, say the name of the second song on Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping" album), it was about a robot that became sentient after it was struck by lightning. It looked pretty much like WALL-E, only WALL-E made me cry for good reasons. Seriously, look at a side-by-side of the two:


Pretty similar, huh? Anyhoodle, if you had a tiny modicum of a shred of a hope of a nugget of a dream that this was going to be a good project, that hope is deader than Steve Phillips's career.
