In this case, a fairly average-looking PC is capable, right out of the box, of controlling nearly every device in your apartment, including the locks, coffee maker, blender, and electric toothbrush -- and that's before it develops sentience when nebbishy architect Miles spills champagne on it. The nascent intelligence also falls in love with Miles's neighbor/sort-of-girlfriend Virginia Madsen from Dune, and writes her a song that sounds suspiciously like a Culture Club B-side. And that's about all the plot you can squeeze in when your movie is wall-to-wall music video montages. Original post located at searchforschlock.com.
