A cheesy early 80's movie by all standards, but was the movie predicting AI?

It also stars Laurie Partridge(Susan Dey)

The billionaire tech entrepreneur John Reston (played by James Coburn) is who I was reminded of when I read about the attitude and personality of Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate.

A VERY good movie that Crichton did that never got much fame.

Does the fourth one work for DeSantis? If so, given his drop, they might want to keep a watch on her:

Why does Ron have this Ukrainian operative on his campaign ?

She ain’t about making America great, that’s for sure.

“Why does Ron have this Ukrainian operative on his campaign?”

Seems that you can’t walk more than an office or two in DC (or try to have a conversation here) without Ukrainian Operatives butting in, so why not bring your own to DC!

The first ever film to create 3D shading with a computer that produced the first ever CGI human character was the model Cindy (Susan Dey). This movie achieved this feat before Disney’s more famous Tron (1982) hit the screens. The Web site Filmsite said of Cindy: “Her digitization was visualized by a computer-generated simulation of her body being scanned—notably the first use of shaded 3D CGI in a feature film. Polygonal models obtained by digitizing a human body were used to render the effects.”

Convoluted plot, but incredibly gorgeous to look at. Top-notch cinemotography and direction.

This was Susan Dey in that movie. I vaguely remember this movie on account of Susan Dey.

Loved this movie as a kid. Seemed so real to a twelve year old as to what the future would be like.
To this day, I occasionally think that the TV or computer is recording where on the screen I am focusing.
