The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Computer. Today’s suggestion by Gregory Netterville.
Trivia: “Edgar” also happened to be the name of a text editing program common on IBM mainframes back in the 80's.
Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Gregory: “The 80's!! The music, the dialogue, and the look of the computer really sell this scene… All weirdly compelling. Of course, the subtle nod to cyberpunk (sci-fi) by setting the film in San Francisco à la Philip K. Dick.”
