Wargames is on AMC right now...must organize group viewing with fellow supernerds!
Oh, SO many reasons to geek on this!
Some of the "Oh, so many reasons":
--8" floppies
--Cup modems
--MELVIN!!!
--Galaxia
--Stone-age hacking
--State-of-the-art-computers
--Pull-top cans
--Mopeds
--rotary telephones...hell, telephone BOOTHS!
And quotes galore!
--"Oh, Jesus! I really wanted to learn how to swim! I swear to God I did."
-- Jennifer: "He wasn't very old."
David Lightman: "No, he was pretty old. He was 41."
Jennifer: "Wow, that is old. "
--[yelling] "Mister Potato Head! Mister Potato Head! Back doors are not secrets! "
--"Could we have pills and cook the corn? "
--"After very careful consideration sir I've come to the conclusion that your system sucks."
--"Alright, Lightman. Maybe you can tell us who first suggested the idea of reproduction without sex."
--David Lightman: "Um, your wife?"
--"Goddammit, I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it'd do any good!"
It makes me squee in an unmanly way to see and hear these things!
