      If you have never seen the original 1985 British film that introduced "Max Headroom: 20 minutes into the future", you are in for a serious treat. It is so much better than I ever expected -- and it's only 55 min long. More relevant than ever: this video

    2. @jimsmartDec 2020· in “The Max Headroom Christmas Special”

      Not many people know: the original Max Headroom 'pilot' was a 1985 British cyberpunk movie, somewhat underground despite being shown on TV — "Max Headroom: 20 Minutes Into The Future" — not only does it explain the origin of the Max Headroom character, it's actually a great watch IMO :) Whole movie this video Wikipedia info [LINK]

    3. @joezydecoSep 2024· in “Max Headroom and the World of Pseudo-CGI (2013)”

      Totally agree. 20 Minutes introduced the "Operator, get me out of here!" trope that showed up later in The Matrix... this video
