V.I.N.CENT + Any Movie = A Better Movie

We’ve all seen the social media games along the lines of “change one word in a movie title and ruin the movie”, but what if you could add one character to a movie and improve it significantly?

Of course, you have to add the right character, and in this case, all it takes is adding your favorite floaty robot buddy to any movie, any TV show, and it’s an instant win.

Let’s call this the V.I.N.CENT cinematic universe theory, which tells us that the robot star of 1979’s The Black Hole was just too good to be confined to any one movie (particularly if that movie is 1979’s The Black Hole).

But don’t take my word for it. I’m more than willing to show my work.

So, you may be asking yourself, is it really just V.I.N.CENT that this works for?

Well, aside from Old B.O.B.’s little-known screen test for a bit part in Forrest Gump, it’s pretty hard to get Hollywood casting directors to take you seriously if you’re a levitating robot. If you think V.I.N.CENT and B.O.B. have been typecast, try asking Maximillian.

It’s really hard to get the male co-lead in the feel-good romantic comedy of the summer when you’re an enormous red robot who’s usually associated with drilling people to death. Maybe Max should try the infomercial circuit?

So next time you’re watching a movie – even a good one – and you think to yourself, “this flick is just missing that certain little something,” you’re right. It’s missing a floating robot.
