Whilst chatting over lunch about films and kids being trained by the US military regarding flying drones into war-zones we some how indirectly got onto the topic of 'the last star fighter' and i thought i would drop the trailer i found on youtube on here. again, if you have not seen some of these classics i suggest you add them to your viewing or downloading list today.

plus, anything that has a weapons system called 'death blossom' has to be ftw.

Had to add this one in seeing as @subwolf had managed to purchase/find it mastered on pal dvd. amazing! - the copy i had was grainy and was ripped from vhs and was pretty poor. i watched this at the weekend on my laptop in bed when i was tired. took me right back to the vloggies of 2005 and going out to alcatraz island with a bunch of vloggers. good times. i great 80's computing film with a high level of fromage but will some great snippits of what computing was like 'back in the day' - replace the AI of edgar with our social networks of today and you can see some similar aspects that cannot be far away from being reality in the coming years.

Has a brilliant soundtrack as well. If your based in the UK and want to borrow the DVD just drop me a comment/email/dm.

Oh, and someone sent me a link to the soundtrack on pirate bay - http://bit.ly/8EGgPE

pirates of silicon valley must be one of the best explanations of the start of microsoft and apple that you will come across. really opened you eyes to how these two titans of the scene today managed to work their magic into the digital space we have today. some really good advice for startups in here on how, when and what. a great film. if your a geek. ;0

Something about antitrust, the fact that it clearly aims itself
directly at the time when microsoft was trying to take over the world
with their browser has heavy overtones in this movie. Very early
signs of startup culture, ethics and then this fantastic vision of
'synapse' this universal broadcast system that will work anywhere. we
race towards this today. oh, and slight spoiler, fibre installed in
each geeks house capturing what they are working on from their screens
via hd cameras. what! ahead of it's time. ;0
