Interesting - sounds like a predecessor to the Mathew Broderick movie "Wargames".MaxWylde wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 3:05 am There's an old movie that I'd like him to review, and it's called Colossus: The Forbin Project. It's about the US Government, in conjunction with a special computer lab, run by computer scientist Dr. Forbin, who makes a computer system called Colossus to control all of the US's nuclear weapons arsenal, to act as the kind of deterrent that will not hesitate to retaliate against a first strike from the Soviet Union. Unbeknownst to the Americans, the Soviets were also making their own computer to do the same thing, called Guardian. Hilarity ensues when the two primitive A.I.s (using taped memory banks, no less) begin talking to one another.
P.S. Colossus was the name of the code breaking computer at Bletchley Park.
For me, ReBoot only begins with Season 2, nothing else. Then the quality instantly ramps up. And Season 3 is just... amazing. Again, Chuck is a huge DC fan. No idea why he wouldn't know of Season 3, since so many DC writers worked on it, and it feels very Noirish in some ways, like how Ray is Silver Surfer, and Matrix is like an edgier Batman. It's just... WOW. They were really pushing it back in those days. I miss the times when visual storytelling was fun.
