Once more, a wise-guy teenager tries to prove he's smarter than any adult-and nearly destroys the whole world in the process-in WarGames. Computer-game aficionado Matthew Broderick inadverently taps into a hush-hush Pentagon computer, then proceeds to inaugurate his favorite game, "Global Thermonuclear War". What we know, but Broderick doesn't, is that the Pentagon, hoping to eliminate the chancy "human element" in the event of an actual war, has given its computer total, irreversable control over the launching of nuclear weaponry. Broderick and government official Dabney Coleman race against time to reverse the computer's resolve to send bombers to Russia. WarGames scored a hit, especially with teenage filmgoers. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I love how he asks all us working class people to give our money, who struggle to get by, yet you never hear how much cash he gives. He's a total ass wipe."
guitar.dude said "LOL@"politically involved quartet!" Yeah, wasting $40 million on a stage while every other African is dying is SO politically active. Bono is a hypocrite, a dickhead, an illiterate, stupid bully and a shameless fat lie. The other three are worthless as musicians and as human beings but at least they don't pretend to care about anyone or anything but money."
