    • Trivia
      The "reel to reel" machine shown to be tracing Julian's phone call, is actually a broadcast 1" videotape machine, which were primarily used to record and transmit video in television stations during the 80's and 90's.
    • Goofs
      Whenever modems are used to dial into a system, the sounds the modem makes when connecting to other systems, known as the carrier detect, is for a 56.6k modem, which weren't available until 1998. Modems more likely used at the time were most likely 300 - 2400 baud, which didn't feature the screeching sound of later modems.

    Right on target
    Smart movie, nicely reflecting the hypocrisy of modern society, and modern media. Tackles general ignorance, and wish of a talented young man to use his talents for something bigger than ordinary life. Without pathetic heroism and vanity, which might be expected, but rather suggests some different model of behavior to smart young people. Decently low grade fine suits to movie with non-orthogonal ideas.
