Chat Roulette: The 2010 version of "The Circuit" from Logan's Run
In the 1976 film Logan's Run, there is this thing called "The Circuit." The Circuit is basically the Star Trek transporter with radio tuning noise and a random sort element.
Clip from the film showing the Circuit:
Anyhow, the idea is that the bored idle member of the leisure class (more or less everyone in the film) can click through randomly presented people until finding one that suits at the moment.
Ah, how life imitates art. Or more to the point, how art captures our most banal aspirations.
Now, to heck with Chat Roulette... WHERE IS MY FRICKIN' FLYING CAR!?
