Mac sighting!

Assassins has the powerbooks.
Both Stalone and banderas, use the powerbooks to receive their missions.

I pick out macs ALL the time in movies. It's so fun.

I seem to be doing exactly the same thing, and about 85% of the movies I see, I see macs, ain't that great.
 
It was on tonight, and I had to mention it. The year was 1995, the movie, staring Sandra Bulloch (with Dennis Miller as the Shrink), the Net. I've counted no less than 5 macs! One of them a 8500 or 9500 tower, the rest the Mac Laptops (big, heavy, small screens). Lots of screen shots, even of the original Castle Wolfenstein! Very cool.

Plus Sandra's online, talking with people in chat rooms she's never met, hmm, doesn't sound familliar at all.....:D
 
I saw a movie once :)

Anyone remember Hackers, it had a young angelica jolie!
They all used macs but did things on them that macs couldnt do, it was very weird!

Hey this is my hundredth post when do I get an avatar?
 
Mac sightings

I seem to remember the "Delta Flyer" on Star Trek Voyager had an old-stlye Apple flat pannel painted black at Ensign Paris' position. (Running Mac OS LCARS, of course ;) )

Also, Drew Cary show has had several iMacs and Flat Panels

Victoria's Closet (cancelled) had a Mac (can't remember if it was an iMac or the above mentioned flat panel monitor) on the secretaries desk.

Sports Night (cancelled?) - a bunch of PowerBook G3's with a sticker covering the Apple logo.

My wife used to think I'm crazy the way I noticed such things, especially when I notice Mac OS 8/9 desktops or windows used in ads, especially when plasted to a WinTell machine's screen! Now she is noticing them! (My brain washing is working!)
 
C.J. (Allison Janney) uses a TiBook on the West Wing. I've never seen it out and about, only on her desk. And yes, Zoolander was brilliant. Owen Wilson is a damned genius. I've never even been to Mt. Vesuvius... :) :) :)
 
Got another one!

"About a Boy" (Hugh Grant's new movie, which, by the way, was much much funnier than I had expected... even my father enjoyed it!). There's a Cube and 17-inch flat screen, and a quick glimpse of a Graphite G3 iMac.
 
:eek: Another resurrected thread! :eek:

That is probably the last one of those I will do in a while...

The newer episodes of Drew Carey may show on Drew's office desk, basically, the Cube system I use, except he uses one of the newer 15/17 inch monitors. Before that, Drew was using a Blueberry iBook. Remember that?

In the movie Bedazzled, when we get a shot of E. Hurley on the office monitor, that is an Apple monitor.

I mentioned this before, but this Australian-accented Animal Planet geek owns a Titanium Powerbook. You may sometimes see it in his office on one of those Animal Planet shows.

Yeah, I've noticed that too.

Can you believe that that guy has his own movie coming out?!
 
A movie? No ma'am. I haven't heard of it.

I don't see how it would be exciting anyways. I can already see it now...he is going into the forest to rescue a lost kangaroo. Or maybe he is going to describe the scales of an alligator. Or maybe, just maybe, he is looking for something nobody has seen in him, a real sense of humor and a fat paycheck. :D

But I do admire the guy due to the fact that he has a Titanium Powerbook and that he is an animal lover. At least he respects them.

Well, I got two/thirds of my predictions right...alligator/crocodile scales and a paycheck! :)

I don't think it's going to beat The Scorpion King or Spiderman, but we'll see.

The Wall Street Journal

Did anyone read the article in the Journal last Wednesday about "Even You Can Download Music?"

Well the half-page picture for the article is a PowerBook G4 playing some Brittney Spears scene. What's so darned funny is the journalist writes on and on about these sights and says that they don't work with the Macintosh. So why do you use on for you picture of these sights? They should have use some big john-boat anchor 8.67 pound square and thick cruddy Dull.

The Journal and Walter Mossberg are pretty right-on when it comes to Macs, but sometimes they should pay a little more attention.

BTW, The Journal did a big spread about buying a laptop. It wasn't until the last paragraph that Macs were mentioned. But is was all he needed to say. It went on to say that "...but two of the absolutely best laptops on the market don't run Windows..." Nuff said.
 
I have seen lots of Powerbooks 5300 lately in the Discovery Channel. BTW, do not start to mention that we see old episodes down here, they are a week older only.
 
At the end of Swordfish you can see a G4 graphite keyboard being used.
Also in Austin Powers I think I remember seeing an Imac in the background of his "Shag Pad".(Is that what it's called)
 
MTV has used Apple computers on their sets for a while... TRL, Real World, Road Rules. just about everything....

The apple computer i see the most though is the G3 powerbook (pismo)

And apparently fireproof in a couple instances I've seen.
 
Hank Hill bought his wife a Bondi Blue iMac, which she has used is a number of episodes of "King of the Hill."
I can't help it, I like this show after having to live just north of Dallas for a year.

that's a funny damn show.

i can't believe that he got an imac. how long ago was this episode on?? would it be in reruns yet?
 
So Glad

I am so glad that there are people that also notice Macs in everything. I have noticed all the Macs mentioned so far. its funny, I may not remember anything about the movie, but I know exactly the scene mentioned that has a Mac in it. And eric_n_dfw, I am SOOO Impressed that you also noticed the display in the Delta Flyer. I was going to post that, but you beat me to it. The only way I noticed it was from the way the back looked. My friends all think I am crazy for noticing Macs, but I'm not crazy, you guys understand...right?
In response to an earlier post about Seinfeld Macs, I know that he had a duo, and a twentieth anniversary, but I do not recall ever seeing a G3 or an iMac. And also, Simpsons, when homer invests (and loses) the family savings, the internet cafe is filled with a cartoonish version of iMacs.
 
Color of iBook in Sex and the City

Does any one know the color of the iBook that was in Sex and the City season 4 episode titled "My Motherboard, Myself"

Im a big SATC and ibook fan please let me know :) and what was her previous mac?

THANKS!!
 
I saw a IIgs keyboard in Orange County and an iMac in the same movie.

Now that someone has dragged this up, I'm safe. :D
 
There is a blue clamshell ibook in good advice with Charlie Sheen.

I also saw several G4 Powermacs, a cube and a few TiBooks in a foreign movie on the Vivid channel.
