SPOILER ALERT: Do not read this blog if you don’t want to know about the ending of “Short Circuit.”
I will never…ever forgive Ryan Davis.
The date: August 14, 1986
The place: The dollar theater in Manchester, Missouri.
The movie: “Short Circuit”
I’m notorious for having a terrible memory, but I will never forget my tenth birthday. I was seated in a movie theater, surrounded by several of my friends enjoying the hilarious robotic antics of Johnny 5. Toward the end of the movie we were led to believe that our new robot friend had been blown to bits (or “disassembled” as he would charmingly yelp). I was mortified.
