Commodore Spotting
« on: September 27, 2008, 02:26:40 AM »
Just two :

1 . A Vic 20 in the series 'The Flight of the Conchords'. It is Murrays computer till he is updated to what appears to be an old PC. And I believe he goes back to using it when the Sexy IT lady leaves.

2. 'The IT Crowd' from the creator of Father Ted has a Pet in their office that I just saw.

early Red Dwarf episodes (series 1 & 2) use a Commodore 64 as a console keyboard

I love 'Flight of the Conchords', and was particularly delighted to see that Murray used an old Commodore in his office (I actually thought it was a C64, but never mind...).

Cheers,
James

In that cheesy 80's film Electric Dreams when uber-geek Miles Harding (the protagonist) goes to buy a computer at the start of the film (well first 30 mins) he goes into a computer shop, and if you look really carefully there is a boxed Commodore 64 on a display to his left.  You have to look really quick though  :-D

I am also pretty certain that there is a Commodore in the film War Games (with Mathew Broderick), but I can't remember whereabouts... I'll have to watch it again, and check... it's a pretty good film actually, so not that much of a chore to watch.  :-)

in the norweigan movie Insomnia you can see a C= monitor and what i think is an A4000 keyboard.
