I can't comment on every item, but some deserve my attention:
9. Clearly somebody's going to have to screen Arcade in an upcoming 'thon. I love how Virtual Reality enjoyed its brief role as boogeyman in the early 90s.
8. Bleah. Existenz came out the same year as The Matrix, and became the "thinking man's" simulacra movie for wannabe intellectuals.
7. Wow that Bond movie sucked. Almost as bad as playing that snoozy video game.
5. I like this bit about Space Paranoids: " In 1982, this was a futuristic (at the time) game (that was fake). In 2012, this is now a retro game (that is real) that seems fake. "
2. Lawnmower Man. There's that pesky Virtual Reality again.
