We open on a young, brash, spoiled director who has found creative inspiration in a critical scene for his movie. “Get me the Parks Department,” he orders his entourage. “We are blowing up Mount Rushmore.”
What follows is a succession of calls back and forth which have the director’s assistant and/or the director himself trying to get what they want from various park rangers/administrative people.
In one exchange, a ranger asks if the director could instead use a model of Mount Rushmore. The director then raises the decibel level, saying that he could use a model “if I want it [the movie] to suck.”
Finally a senior ranger asks the director’s assistant via phone if he and the director are out of their minds to even think that they could gain approval to destroy Mount Rushmore. The director then jumps in on the call and counters with his own query: “You ever been in a movie?”
Instantly the ranger’s demeanor changes. “What kind of movie?”
Next we see the movie being filmed, the ranger situated in a Mount Rushmore tourist viewing station. He exclaims “Robots,” at which point we see Mt. Rushmore blown up. The ranger, apparently having forgotten his full line of dialogue, comes back into picture to complete the phrase which began “Robots” with “From Space,” the title of this laughable movie.
A series of supered messages then appear on screen in this cinema spot: “It takes many calls to make a movie.”/”And only one to ruin it.”/”Please no calls or text [in the movie theater].”

Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."
He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib.
"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
Mel Gibson's home is "completely gone," his publicist Alan Nierob confirmed Friday. The Oscar winner revealed the loss of his home earlier Friday while appearing on Joe Rogan's... Read More
