    70s movie? Fantastic Journey was my first idea, but monitors are more like 70s or 80s. Coma?

    >>Fantastic Voyage<< is what you mean ….

  • Alexander Rabitsch Monday, 23rd January 2012 at 05:12

    … that was my idea as well :D

    But no … I remember those ridiculous small radar antennas they put ´round Jean Del Vals (appearing as >>Benes<<) head. :D

    But the light was the same!!!

    No, it is not ‘Fantastic Voyage’ … ‘Coma’ is closer in a way, but it isn’t ‘Coma’ either.

    looks pretty much like Bruce Willis…hmm..I dunno. Twilight Zone, maybe (the screen seems to be an older type. But why. I have no freaking idea. ;)

    Actually i had three ideas: fantasic voyage (tnaks, yes ,of course i meant this one) , Coma or Future World!

    • zephyrin_xirdal Monday, 23rd January 2012 at 23:11

      No, sorry, it isn’t ‘Futureworld’ either—would have been too easy, after I had a post on ‘Westworld’ some weeks ago … :-)

    “The Terminal Man”.

    • zephyrin_xirdal Monday, 23rd January 2012 at 23:33

      Congratulations, this is correct, it is ‘The Terminal Man’ directed by Mike Hodges (1974) and based upon the novel by Michael Crichton of the same name (1972). It’s George Segal on the operating table … so, now, why the surgery? ;-)
          Another thing: I knew you wouldn’t rest until you had solved it, but it’d interest me how you got it?

    They implant electodes in his brain to control his seizures. With fatal consequences…
    Your hint was somehow very helpful: You said, Coma is close, and i knew there was one movie about processors in a man`s brain i had never seen. All i had to do, was to find out the title ;-).

    • zephyrin_xirdal Monday, 23rd January 2012 at 23:53

      All right, I see—nothing can be done against the memory of a science-fiction aficionado … I have to be more careful with my hints ;-) In fact by ‘Coma is close’ I had in mind that Crichton directed ‘Coma’ and wrote the novel ‘The Terminal Man.’ And of course that both movies are from the Seventies.
          If you haven’t seen ‘The Terminal Man’ yet, go and get it. You’ll like it for sure. Plus, some scenes were shot in Ennis House, the subject of zeph’s pop culture quiz #2 :-)
