Precocious high school hacker David Lightman breaks into WOPR in order to use the nascent artificial intelligence to write a Broadway play that is guaranteed to be a failure, knowing that with creative accounting (ie., bilking his investors) he can make more money with a massive flop than he could with a hit.

The play, a musical about a USCG admiral who is reputed to have coined the term "computer bug", will be titled Springtime for Hopper.

Ah, I remember that fondly everytime I see my commemorative set of Burger King WOPR movie tie-in drinking glasses.
Though I'm still surprised they weren't nearly as popular as McDonald's later Threads and Grave of the Fireflies Happy Meals.

Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
They made us watch The Day After in high school over a few days. I remember it being very bleak and not in a good way. Some British folk I know said Threads was good but horrifying, especially when they saw it as a pre-teen, so I stayed away from it. I rented Grave of the Fireflies once thinking it was going to be a sweet anime; I'm never watching that again unless I feel like I should cry a quart of tears and crumble into a Samus ball of depression for a month.

I always wanted a samus ball.
Now I want an Amby Samus Ball.

I goofed. Admiral Grace Hopper served in the U.S. Naval Reserve, not the U.S. Coast Guard. I apologize for the error.

Fans of the Amazon just-cancelled Wheel of Time series can console themselves knowing that Brandon Sanderson will be releasing the last few seasons to YouTube, once he's done shooting them on his iPhone.
I feel like that would be okay.

In an alternate universe, Frank Herbert wrote copy for a local TV news station, instead of writing a research article on the Oregon Dunes for the USDA. The result did NOT win a Hugo or a Nebula.
“And now over to Gurney with traffic.”
“Kull wahad, Jim! There’s a Maker jack-knifed out on the Arakeen Turnpike and a 5 ornithopter pile-up down the Muadib exit. Even the Guild spacers couldn’t fold around this mess. Now over to Feyd with sports.”
“I WILL KILL HIM!”
“Thanks, Feyd. Let’s hear what the weather is tomorrow. Alia?”
“Never one drop of rain on Arrakis. But it sure is muggy out there, Jim!”
“Thanks, Alia. That’s all for WDUN nightly news. Good night and stay off the Golden Path.”

Back when I created this alias, I had just discovered the Trunk Monkey commercials. But I thought that was a bit too obvious, so I thought it'd be funnier (for various definitions of funny, including "not") if the chimp was also a drill sergeant. It was either that, or a "Ghost Chimp, M.D." alias.
No, I'm not under any mind-altering substances, and Yes, I'm almost always like this. I just brain weird.

I should get that on a t-shirt.
Also, I would watch the HELL out of Ghost Chimp, M.D.! Steve Bochco's finest creation. And I'll die on that hill, even though Cop Rock existed.
Also, also, there's literally nothing that is not funnier if you insert Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. No. Thing.

I am f*$!ing sorry for your g#@@!@n loss. This bag of dead crap was a beautiful soul and leaves behind a g%#%$$n legacy of pukedom and maggotry! I did not know the piece of s&** myself, but I have it on good authority he was five feet six of stacked chewing gum ass waiting to be molded into a Marine! And now he's just a Pyle.
There will be coffee in the foyer after the service.
