Once again Paul, you deliver informative posts with knowledge, thank you.
The days of 14.4kbps modems and phone hacking. Kevin Mitnick was the shiznit then.Terrible.
But the film has aged terribly anyway. Nuclear hysteria was moronic in the 80s, and plays terribly now. But it is fun to see the old Floppy discs the size of LPs - and modem phone cradles.
Remember the idea that you could hack a system with metal gum stick wrapper in on phone reciever lead? O my! Those days...The days of 14.4kbps modems and phone hacking. Kevin Mitnick was the shiznit then.
Man those were the days... I remember my red box I created that mimicked a linemans phone and I could jack into any puplic access terminal and make free phone calls. PreCellular days. Gawd I had a lot of fun then.Remember the idea that you could hack a system with metal gum stick wrapper in on phone reciever lead? O my! Those days...
...I wonder if any of the 1980's Dial-a-Joke phone numbers still work.
I remember on the old corded phones - I could take off the mouth piece cover, remove the microphone, and attach the speaker "out" wires from my stereo to the metal leads on the phone and play people songs right through the phone as a direct "line in"
Garbage in more ways than one. When will these studios learn...
Oh ...and, I'm pretty sure the artist who is responsible for the front 'tic tac toe' artwork is possibly not the brightest.....the game being portrayed is impossible. 5 USA stars and 3 Soviet hammer and sickles, that's not how I thought it was played. USA are cheating.....
brilliant film shame about the poor art
or should that be a blind man using his labrador to use photoshop did this
@zavvi think you could give them some feedback on this rubbish art?
because this be in the bargain bin in 6-8 months time
question is this the studio "designer" @zavvi ?
@zesty get in here and show them how it should be done!

no paul we all know its the 'studio' but zavvi freely say yes we will sell it.
and is the point!
they could say no sorry not for us with that art we would struggle to sell it, perhaps you could get redeisgned???
thats what it will take to get things changed as long as they say yep will sell any old junk, studio think yay pat on the back and nothing changes yet again fox wave that is another pile of the brown stuff, tell me your actually happy with same old same old.
i'm steelbook collector but i will not fill my shelves with substandard steelbooks any more and i would not have this if zavvi gave me the whole wave for free.
