(Imagines 40 people line dancing via wireless) |

What happens if someone hacks your suit? "Police arrested a man at a local nightclub when he apparently went on a rampage across the dancefloor. Onlookers report that the man - with a surprised look on his face - appeared to be in a 'dance frenzy'. Ten patrons of the club are reported to be hospitalized with minor injuries. Film at 11." |

What I want to see, now, is the West Side Story style dance-off between the Robot Wolverine Dance Skeleton and the Mosh-Buddy Pogo-Weebles, as typically 1/2B reinventions of the Jets and the Sharks. I can't see even UnaBubba rewriting "When You're a Jet." and getting it to scan, though... "When You're a Robot Wolverine Dance Skeleton...", anyone? |

(Well, I had to step in first. Hope you like... I think that 'Robotic' may be the wrong word, I'd rather this skeletal dancing aid was more fluid and graceful)
There's a dance for us,
Somewhere a dance for us.
Tunes and lighting and smoky air
It’s for us
Somewhere.
There's a space for us,
Limited space for us.
Tread on toes and you’ll get nowhere,
It’s time to learn, time to care
Some day!
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of dancing,
Will find there's a right way of grooving
Somewhere...There's a club for us,
A bar and dance floor crush.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow...Some day...Somewhere! |

As usual, I'm missing something. Where does the wolverine come in? |
|
| |
Thank you. That doesn't explain it, but it does at least explain why I need to have it explained. (Thinks: X-Men... that's a Superman-genre comic-book and now a film, isn't it? [Don't read comic-books {not since Eagle at age 13 anyway}, rarely watch films.]) |
|
| |
Ah, right then. The Wolverine character in X-Men has a metal-laced (the oft abused adamantium, actually) endo-skeleton. |
|
| |
The only problem is that it was only Wolverine's mutant healing ability that kept him from being killed by his own skeleton, som epoison or something. This is what I get for hanging out with a comic book geek for half my life. |

Croissant for you, prometheus - not just for the idea, but for your inclusion of the necessary upgrade option. You wouldn't want to be caught busting J-Lo moves next year, for example, when everybody else is doing parodic imitations of Michael Jackson's sweet moonwalk. |

Fyi, I'm pretty sure that this is already baked. I can distinctly recall two guys who seemed to be testing the beta version: one, a German in a North England club in 1987, who had an odd physical reaction to an Erasure track that was mixed into Mission UK; two, a California guy at a Massachusetts wedding in 1992, who got his intense groove on for about sixty seconds. Both were the cute-computer-geek type, the type of guy who's just cool enough to be secretly testing a downloadable animatronic endoskeleton. |
|
| |
I'd toss in two croissants, if you could guarantee that the endoskeleton could enable the user to do the horizontal mambo equally well ... |
|
| |
What about the old beat detection problems? How does the endoskeleton keep time? |
|
| |
Considering that the two-step is done by brain damaged inbreds <It consists of standing in a line with a bunch of other 'people', taking two steps to one side or the other and going 'Woo', then doing the same thing in the other direction>, you'd have to be one Sad Bastard to need this that badly... |
|
| |
what you describe is line-dancing |
|
| |
What with this & tie aversion, I'm beginning to think that I've got more in common with StarChaser than I'd previously thought. |
|
| |
Po: Actually, you're right. |
|
| |
Two-step is for people who can't manage to form a line... |
|
| |
[UB] //You've been out clubbing your arse off (now there's an image...//
So you haven't seen that Robbie Williams film clip where he's stripping in the middle of a club, gets bare naked, and then starts ripping his own flesh, then muscles off. Does anybody remember the one I'm talking about? |
|
| |
How geeky does it make me when I read 'www.vfxpro.com' as a Visual FoxPro site? |
|
| |
//Two-step is for people who can't manage to form a
line...// |
|
| |
Actually, the two-step can be much more involved and
just as good as many other styles of dancing, if done by
someone who knows what they're doing. |
|
| |
(Nice idea by the way... croissant) |
|
| |
Don't worry [phoenix], I thought the same thing... |
|
| |
reminds of the Wallace & Grommit episode with
robo-pants remote controlled by the evil penguin |
|
| |
Okay, first off, it was worth getting all the way down here just to read the sentence "robo-pants remote controlled by the evil penguin". Thank you, doghouse. |
|
| |
Secondly, Wolverine is always going to have trouble with his adamantium endoskel, because an alloy composed primarily of English rock star is inherently unstable. |
|
| |
Thirdly, i rather like this idea. Then maybe all those wussy guys who stand around at clubs will figure out that girls are attracted to guys who dance. The difficulty that i see is getting people to relax enough to let the exo move them around, letting it "lead". So maybe it'd need a small contact patch with a slow release dmso/valium blend. Not too much valium, the suit doesn't want to have to carry you home, it runs the batteries down, but you see what i mean... |
|
| |
Carrymehome exoskeletons? |
|
| |
I'd like to see a dance off with the robot and the cast of star wars -the ballet - good times |
