Cool article about Wargames
« on: July 24, 2008, 11:35:18 AM »

This is a cool article about the original Wargames, with interviews from Mitnick, Draper, the screenwriter, and some other people.

Anyone seen that they're re-releasing the original Wargames in some theaters?  Not sure when and I can't seem to find anything about it online, but I'd love to see it in the theater.

Has anybody seen WarGames: The Dead Code yet? If you haven't, don't. It sucked.

I disagree. The film, for all of it's flaws and inaccuracies is entertaining and keeps up with itself. What specifically about the movie didn't you like, Kira?

I was indeed entertaining. Just like that Numa Numa video. But that alone doesn't make it worth watching.

But the main reason I didn't like it was because of all the annoying product placement.

I'm pretty sure this was an actual line from the movie:
"OMG have you heard about this website called FACEBOOK? Yeah FACEBOOK is so great we should log in right now for no particular reason! Doesn't this shot of FACEBOOK'S amazing homepage make you just want to whip out the ole lotion bottle and go to town? FACEBOOK! FACEBOOK! FACEBOOK!!!!!!

Also, I'm not well versed in the whole "Terrorist" scene, but it seems to me like they would have something better to do than spend their time playing online games. Especially ones that make you bet actual money before you can play. I mean, I guess some evil-doers are also avid video game junkies, but this seems like an unusual prospect to build AN ENTIRE MOVIE ON!

*Bitchy whiny rant ends here*


Oh, and just a side note, I thought it was weird how a few terms came up during the movie like when Dennis says to Will, "Wanna do some WarDriving?". Considering "WarDriving" came from "WarDialing" and that term was coined because of the first WarGames movie, it kinda felt like Dennis had indirectly broken the fourth wall.

It didn't really bother me or anything, I just kinda wondered why they would put that in the script.

Maybe because people ACTUALLY GO WARDRIVING? I mean srsly. The entire concept of the movie is stupid, but it wasn't not entertaining. Definitely better than Takedown

The dead code. You can find it on BitTorrent and LimeWire (I gots mine from LimeWire) as far as I know of, but don't expect perfect quality. My version has a bright green boarder on 2 sides of the screen. It doesn't affect the movie or anything, but it's kinda annoying.

Or you could just wait until it hits store shelves sometime this week and actually buy it like a good Christian would do.  ;)

Starring CGI animations, the voice over done by a woman who has a video of her with twelve dicks in her body at once, a man with three forms of AIDS and the token black guy!

Coming soon to a theater near you.

They did that in my town. I didn't see it, but my friend went. He said it was awesome until the film reel fucked up near the end.
