Anyone Remember Wargames?

Remember the premise of the movie where significant number of the men in the loop failed to do their jobs.

So Dabney Coleman pulls out the WOPR to save Berengers Ass...

 

So what do we call this Wargames 3? LOL

 

It makes me remember a ditty from my fair lady

 

"l'm gettin' married in the mornin'"
"Ding dong, the bells are gonna chime"
"Pull out the stopper Let's have a WOPR"
"But get me to the church on time"
 

 

 

AP Exclusive: Air Force sidelines 17 nuclear missile officers; commander cites ‘rot’ in system

 

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel demanded more information Wednesday after the Air Force removed 17 launch officers from duty at a nuclear missile base in North Dakota over what a commander called “rot” in the force. The Air Force struggled to explain, acknowledging concern about an “attitude problem” but telling Congress the weapons were secure.

 

The tip-off to trouble was the March inspection that earned the equivalent of a “D’’ grade when the unit was tested on its mastery of Minuteman 3 missile launch operations.

Yep, I remember that movie. I thought it was very cool that the kid had his own computer and I can't play tic-tac-toe with my nieces without thinking of that movie :)

I recorded the movie from HBO onto my VCR and I still have the tape....

 

Matthew Broderick was the kid...

 

However I think the Ferris Bueller role is the one more people remember.

I was in love with Jan Michael Vincent when I was in high school.  I wanted to marry Stringfellow Hawke from Airwolf.  :wub: lol
