Talk:WarGames: The Dead Code

message: Is this movie really a sequel?  It looks like a remake of the same plot, and there are no characters from the original.

thread_title:  Reception, etc? 

message: There are numerous references to the original film that, perhaps should be added:
* WOPR, Dr. Falken returning
* "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play"
* etc.
Also, there are numerous flaws in terms of technological realism. Should we consider outlining those?

thread_title:  References to original and realism 

message: Could anybody provide a little clarification on this point please:
"Contrary to the original Dr. Falken is not British and has an English accent."
It's perfectly possible for someone who's not British to have an English accent - but the use of 'and' seems to imply that the one fact goes along with the other...  England is part of Britain so if Falken is English then he's also British.  If he's not British then the statement might be better to say "Falken is [for example] American, but has an English accent".  - Skadus (talk) 21:21, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm.  Even with the comma now added - "Contrary to the original, Dr. Falken is not British and has an English accent." - the meaning of the statement isn't clear.  Okay, he's not British.  Do we know how he came by an English accent, in that case?  Should it not be "but has an English accent"? - Skadus (talk) 00:09, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

message: In the first sentence, I suggest the part quoted in the section header of my post here might be good to change. The part says the film "was" the sequel, but I assume the film still is the sequel. Just wanted to mention this. 62.16.242.174 (talk) 22:24, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: You are correct.  I just watched this again to verify that Falken did indeed say pancreatic cancer. --Kacela (talk) 11:40, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  The plot.. 

message: In the plot: "Falken instructs Joshua to attack R.I.P.L.E.Y. with a faux script full of cultural references; Joshua is instructed to "BUKK" R.I.P.L.E.Y. with games, using variables named ABSOLUTE_TAKEOVER, JDI_MINDTRICK, MAKE_ME_SWAY, TAKIN_CARE_OF_BUSINESS, PILLOW_TALK, and GAME_THEORY.[2] ". The citation does include the mentioned variables, but I don't see how Joshua was instructed to 'BUKK' RIPLEY, leading to the article on bukakke . Should the sentence be reworded with the wikilink removed? 24.13.180.54 (talk) 02:10, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Concur. I watched this movie last night, saw the scene, and at no time was it mentioned, whether with on screen writing or with spoken dialog that this instruction was to refer to the action wikilinked here. The other variables did show on screen, but were not referred to as such in dialog. I am removing the wikilink, and if someone relinks, I would consider it to be vandalism.

thread_title:  Questionable "BUKK" term 

message: I find it quite interesting how the plot overview notes that the WOPR is destroyed, but from them on, WOPR is (ab)used in places where it should say "Joshua"...because, yanno... It said the WOPR was destroyed pretty plainly, but then somehow this WOPR, which was just destroyed, somehow seems to either still be in operation... or someone forgot that the hardware (WOPR) was destroyed, and the program (Joshua) was saved...
Not that I've ever SEEN or even heard of this movie, but... that's pretty inconsistent :/  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.151.18.119 (talk) 17:19, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
