IMAO_: 1987's 'Robocop' had a 'pretty optimistic' view of Detroit's future

They just don’t make dystopian futures like they used to.

You watch the original Robocop movie, you think, "Wow. They were pretty optimistic about the future of Detroit."

Totally optimistic. At least the fictional Detroit had kick-ass gun wielding cyborgs.

@IMAO_ "I'd buy that for a dollar!"

@IMAO_ @Popehat They thought some corporation could take over Detroit and make money. Real corporations know better.
