Jack's Pick Phone

This movie had everyone on the edge of their seats. You had to experience the 70s and 80s to feel it the way this movie's producers intended.

Is [N0T] 42

I'm good. But thanks for the offer.

Jaime Valencia

I mean I get the feeling of almost dying all the time I don’t think I had to be born 20 years earlier lol

Jack's Pick Phone

@Jaime Valencia the paranoia and Cold War feeling back then, made the drama even more intense. That's the thought I was attempting to convey

Jack's Pick Phone

That is one of my very favorite scenes.

Considering the situation, I think the General's criticism was perfectly valid.

Yep. Like the decision not to endorse a park.

To be fair, the comeback wasn't bad either 🤣

The Program

@DamsAreBiotic No, he's assigning blame. McKittrick is the expert. Sure the general is in charge, but he's no computer man. McKittrick is the expert and spends the whole film using the fact that he's the expert to make all the real decisions and run the show. (Two parallels: the President is in charge but isn't even shown because he takes the general's advice. WOPR is an "advisory" system but obviously this scene is about it taking control away from all the humans.) Right up until this point, McKittrick has been lording his influence over everyone else, even the general. In a weird way, the global crisis with the computer that he helped cause just makes him more powerful because, again, he's the expert.
McKittrick is acting like he's saving the world from some random computer disaster. The general is reminding him that McKittrick helped CREATE the global crisis, that this is all his mess. Put another way, right up until this moment, McKittrick thinks of himself as the one man with the education and expertise to save the world; then the general reframes the situation and McKittrick is forced to confront the fact that he's desperately trying to avoid being the idiot who destroys the world.
At first, McKittrick's comeback asserts his authority as the computer expert, the man in a position of authority, but then comes the very next beat, the general getting ready to report to the President, and you see McKittrick deflate when he realizes what's about to be said (and that the general is right).

God bless Barry Corbin.
