As I sit here trying to endure this living nightmare, it suddenly occurs to me

[BigBearJohn]

that it is awfully similar to watching a very bad horror movie... trying to think of which one though... "Jason?" or what?

[Dave Starsky]

1. Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970)

Americans build an indestructible super computer to control our nuclear defense. The machine becomes sentient and makes friends with a similar super computer in Russia. Both decide that perhaps humans are superfluous. Hijinks ensue.

Actually, you said "bad" horror movie. This one's really pretty good. The way I felt after I watched it the first time is the way I feel now.

2. Let me guess...neither computer has an "OFF" switch.

I guess that would have made for a much shorter movie.

[Dave Starsky]

4. No. They were designed that way so no one would mess with them.

Probably not the best engineering decision.

3. I haven't thought about this movie in forever.

Maybe we need this computer to take over. And Gort. We need Gort too.

[Dave Starsky]

5. I wouldn't mind Gort.

Colossus, no. As you might remember, "he" turns out to be kind of a dick.

[redwitch]

6. Gort would be awesome.

Would Colossus be any worse than Trump and Bannon?

[Dave Starsky]

7. About the same, really.

Both would launch a nuke at a city just to give the rest of us an obedience lesson.
