Throws These Gifs Up Everywhere

my number one dream is to make a wargames fan discord server but there would be like 5 people max

WarGames (1983)

We are introduced to computer-savvy techno-brat David as he works to game the system by changing his grades in the school district’s report card database.  This presupposes a world where teachers keep no written records of grades, or at the very least that data in a computer would be trusted over the word of a professional educator.  That’s pretty stupid, right?  Well, this movie does seem to think that cutting from an exterior shot of the Seattle waterfront to a high school clearly named ‘Snohomish High’ makes any sense at all.  Geographic hilarity aside, this sense of blind faith in computers encapsulates the very core of WarGames’ larger conflict—the race to stop WOPR from sparking nuclear war.  The computer system’s LED display ‘face’ may look sinister, but it’s just carrying out a program.  Is automation the answer in war—have we so dehumanized ourselves that we need to come up with something even more empathy-free in order to ensure our future destruction?

I WOULD GO TO BURGER KING IF THIS WAS THE W[H]OP[PE]R.

I think my favorite detail I've picked up on from tonight's WarGames rewatch is that when the kids first meet Falken he terrorizes them with a flying machine. twice.

like I'm pretty sure he flies his pterosaur into them on purpose and there is NO way he wasn't laughing his ass off while chasing them in his helicopter with his bright ass spotlight. :sob: what is his problem

War planning can be exhausting. It's about time he got his much needed nap!
