Amiga in the movies
« on: January 21, 2013, 12:42:38 PM »
I was talking with a director friend of mine the other day and I offered to give him an Amga to put in his new movie coming out in 2014. He accepted and the Amiga will be seen and even mentioned in the new film. The question now is which machine out of my vast collection should I give him? I could give him a CDTV, Minimig, Amiga 3000 or many other machines. Any ideas please?

Depends on the movie. Please give details about the movie to help us decide.

I guess if it is nostagic you should use the A3000 as everyone will recognise it compared to the CDTV and the Minimig which no one probably ever will.

CDTV would be cool if you have those black keyboard, mouse and monitor for it :) If it even gets mentioned, then the recognizing isn't a problem. Although I don't believe many people would recognize any big box Amiga either (anymore), because they look quite PCish.

A wedge model would be most recognizable... But does it fit in with the story :)

If it's a complete CDTV Black keyboard/mouse/drive etc I'd go with that. Best look Amiga of the lot.

If the A3000 desktop came out all in black then it would be a 3000, but it's a close second.

A new Amiga, because with it we can demonstrate the Amiga is live!

A CDTV would be perceived as just another CD/DVD player. It has to be desktop Classic, be it an A2000/A3000/A4000 if the need is to go to big box machines.

:D  In all seriousness, the A500/A1200 would be the most recognizable.  The big box machines just look like any other PCs of the day really.

Amiga 1000 (as seen in Miami Vice s3 e11). Kinda' like seeing the same newspaper over and over again in tv shows/movies or the same shirt.

Yea, I'm leaning towards giving him a Amiga 1000. I have five or six of them but more important it should be recognizable.
