Colossus: The Forbin Project (1 star)

Colossus: The Forbin Project Poster

I was 15 when I first saw this. The best part of seeing it again was its portrayal of computers, especially all those wide greenbar printouts we were still using in 1980. And if a supercomputer were to design its own voice, I hope it would not choose such a gawd-awful mechanical sound. Hal’s voice was soo much better.

The strangest thing about this movie is not only its quaint take on sex.  Weirder, I remember an elaborate scene that is gone or imagined or from another movie.
