I’d piss on a sparkplug if I thought it’d help
I’m sitting here in Union Square at the one-night-only 25th anniversary WarGames re-release. (Much of the audience seems approximately the age of the movie itself, incidentally.)
During the scene where David and Jennifer are leaving Falken’s house, the projector cuts out. Totally dead. 10 minutes later, the theater manager shows up and says that “the satellite link for this event has gone down. Not just this theater–the whole country. Some kind of computer glitch.” Raucous laughter. The manager looked confused by the reaction.
Maybe instead of this satellite whiz-bangery, we should have left the humans in the loop?
UPDATE: 20 minutes later, back up! Onward to DEFCON 1!
