Colossus the Forbin Project

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064177

https://www.amazon.com/Colossus-D-F-Jones/dp/1473228212

One of my favorite movies, and more relevant than ever today.

Sadly, it was overshadowed by 2001 and largely overlooked. However, this makes it fun to introduce it to my friends!

And.. it's been remastered in 4k!

Wait, what?? I loved Colossus as a kid, read and enjoyed all three books, and still have an original movie poster I got at a yard sale when I was a teenager. I read the books again a couple years ago, and they're still enjoyable, if now quite dated.

I watch it every few years. I read the books a while back, I should probably re-read.

I sadly feel that its premise becomes more real yearly.
