Electric Dreams

In need of some cheering up this evening I luckily had to hand a video (!) of Electric Dreams, for which I have been searching for some years. Husband finally uncovered a copy from Planet Everything a couple of days ago and I have now recreated several moments of bliss from my early teens.



Well, not quite the exact same moments of bliss, for I had not quite remembered the rather unfortunately psycho personalities involved. Any fans of [livejournal.com profile] garfieldminus might recognise bits of Jon, but Moles/Miles was easier on the eye. Interestingly, the idea of using a computer to control one's blender (and toothbrush - what was that all about?) and door locks struck me as a bad idea then and it still does today.

But the soundtrack was great (hmmm, I knew every single lyric though), and the opening our-life-is-dominated-by-technology montage hilarious. Someone was actually using a digital watch/wrist calculator.

The credits were alarmingly short in the programming department.
