Clinton Full Member USA 700 Posts	Posted - 23 Sep 2002 : 19:09:30 the "Presidential 68k" thread made me think of this, but if you know of macs in movies, have at it. Movies I know of off the top of me head: Crocodile Dundee in LA: Fruity iBook, PM G4 tower, iMac DV etc. Hackers: Various Powerbooks (one apparantly with a Pentium Pro Chip) and a //GS or a Mac II something The Net: Mac IIs of various origins. anyway, who else can think of movies and where macs appear CCC Lieutennant Commander (Pronounced Leftennant) Guardian of Obsolete Equipment 68k Macs Rescued: 2 Pluses, a 512KE, a Classic II, and a Quadra 650 Contraband rescued: Power Computing PowerBase 200, and a PM 8600/300 Apple // series rescued: Apple //e

thelip Full Member USA 729 Posts	Posted - 23 Sep 2002 : 21:21:40 ohhhh.... i guess i should share this little bit of personal info of myself, although i will regret it. My friend and i do nothing durning movies but identify apple computers. You would be surprised how many times in movies that macs appear not to mention macs with windows interfaces... it's fun, but well.... quite nerdy and i can't be seen in public anymore. _______________________ Sgt.

SpaceBoy Full Member USA 631 Posts	Posted - 23 Sep 2002 : 21:53:03 I just saw "One Hour Photo" this weekend, and one of the main charactors, the dad in the "Yorkin" family, runs his business on Macs, and there are several scenes where he's working at home on his big 22" Cinema Display! Couldn't see what Mac it was hooked to, but I had a vauge glimpse of what might have been a G4 Cube, but I wasn't sure... Anyway, the camera focuses on his work at least once, for a long moment- you can see him working on a 3-D model of a red chair, which is rotating around. I couldn't tell what program he was using, but it was clearly OS X. Cool! This was one of the best parts of an otherwise semi-lame movie. Oh, and in the scene where Mr. Yorkin goes to the store, and runs into Robin Williams charactor, he's trying to get help buying some sort of cable/adapter- he's trying to find one that will work on a Mac! Again, pretty cool, to see this as part of the script, and not just background scenery, as is usually the case with Macs in movies. Okay, gotta study... SpaceBoy PS Also, who can forget when Jeff Goldblum saved the world in ID4, on his powerbook! Also, he seemed to have a mini-disc drive for it... droool.... :-) AppleBASIC FOREVER!
