FABIO It might not seem it, but I always hold this up as one of the most 90s movies ever made. You have the early 90s VR obsession combined with the height of PC backlash with a poor white male being ridiculed for accusing a woman of sexual harassment.

chumbucket Did I see that right, is he standing on a mini-trampoline?
Also, loving this week's "crappy computer gimmicks in TV/movies" week.
Syd Midnight Before I noticed the trampoline I was hoping he was wandering around his apartment and would eventually walk into a wall or trip over the toilet or something. That's a scene I'd like to see in cheesy old pseudo-cyberpunk, horrible accidents resulting from standard input devices that require way more effort and coordination than mouse and keyboard.
