Would you like to play a game?

Gosh, has it really been 25 years since "War Games" came out?

I remember as I watched this movie I really got that nervous butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling watching WOPR (aka "Joshua") destroy the world, albeit virtually.

Seeing the movie with 2008 eyes (after forcing oneself to look beyond the fashions of the early 80s as well as Ally Sheedy's overacting), the movie holds up well. It still hits home today, what with the now-ubiquitous internet and the thousands of global guerilla-like hackers continuously bent on getting into any and every security system and wreaking havoc therein.

Personally, I have never understood that way of thinking, but then, my mama brought me up right. :)

I give the movie two thumbs up. Check it out.
