Farmer McAllister's Thinkin' Machine

this short starts with a good natured hen pecked (pun intended) farmer's attempt to appease his nagging wife by building a robot out of junk. the southern stereotypical dialogue is so over the top it's hysterical especially so out of place in a science fiction story.

he manages to pull it off and build the robot to take over all of his chores, but there's more to the story than just that, there's unexpected twists to follow.

all along the way, there are plenty of laughs even if the jokes are dumb, but the film definitely isn't a pale imitation of something else. the writers had to have dropped acid or something because this story is really out there.

it kind of falls apart a little at the very end, but it hard to stop laughing the 1st 3/4 of the film. if you've been starving to see something unlike anything else you've ever seen or predictable, this is it!
