There might be a method to my madness, but it requires intellect to see. Sorry fellas.

Also, my running joke is funnier than any contained in this completely inane movie. The 80s were awesome (NOT!).

True story - I had Wargames and Enter The Ninja recorded to a VHS tape and watched them all the time. Then one day I popped it in and it had been recorded over. With porn - my dad recorded porn over my movies. I was mad at first, then I became a happy, dehydrated teenager. :p

From that wired article I linked to:

Wired: Wow. You have a 14-year-old daughter. That just set off a wave of cognitive dissonance among the hackers who'd like to hit on you ... Do hackers hit on you?

Sheedy: No, I don't hear so much from hackers. No. No, no, no. I don't. Thankfully. No.

Wired: Just one no would've been fine.

Hell yeah! She was also hot in Breakfast Club. So meek. Meek is hot.

A friend of mine in college used to yell lines from the opening scene of Wargames, while we were studying in the student lounge. "TURN YOUR KEY, SIR!"

I rented it. It sucked massively, except for the mild amount of nostalgia. There were plot holes all over the place. The main enjoyment I got out of it was trying to decide if the programmer was the evil MCP guy from tron and which movie or TV show the general was in recently - he now looks like wilford brimley.

As they are walking they are talking about growing weed, and there is a sign in the background that says "no urinating on the premises". The 80's were awesome!

John Spencer was the one that would not turn the key.

He died not long after West Wing went off the air.

RIP

I dont think its a big secret you are referenceing other Matthew Broderick films. The problem is the funny is only about ~1.4/10 at best. If your gonna derail a thread, at least make it with a > 5/10 funnay.

Now you've done it! This fool will now proceed to spam the thread with references to trains derailing. I predict unbreakable makes the first 5.

Holy crap wasnt she also the girl in "Short Circuit"? you know, Johnny 5, "No Dis-ass-semble!" etc

She was every nerd's wet dream in the 80's
