Let's see. Depression, self-depreciation, peer isolation, opportunistic, distrusting of the government, mommy issues. Yup. I think it's safe to say that this kid is a bona fide computer whiz.
Isn't it weird how practically back in the days of punchcards they made this movie, and back in the mid 90s when internet access cost $20 for 10 hours and $5 for every hour thereafter the movie 'The Net' was made, but yet now, when everyone's internet is always on and 80% of people are posting all their personals on myspace nobody has the idea to make any panicky movies about it.
That kid went on to play in She's Out of Control (TONY DANZA!) I can't recall his exact part but IMDB tags it as "Parking Attendant." I had no idea parking lots played such a huge role in that movie, no way he would have been given a bit role.

ReplyDeleteCivilization is torn apart by malfunctioning traffic lights. I first observed this phenomenon in Gremlins.
