I was expecting a movie that it would be fun forb our group of computer hackers to go to and make snide comments all the way through (anyone remember "Meteor"?). Pretty much what happened. It's interesting, but the taste of the computer hacker is kind of different for movies. Most of us were spellbound by TRON and had a lot of lines/situations that we found incredibly funny that no one else in the theatre was laughing at. What's your favorite SF cult film? Darkstar has some interesting implications to those of us working with Smart Munitions. My favorite has to be "The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" however. Oh my god! It's Adolf Hitler... -Ron
