I still don't get it, 12 August 2001
Author: stuart feild (weerdo1482@aol.com) from little rock

being a child of the 80's (born 1982) I very vividly remember max headroom. he's one of those brief 80's tv icons like the little red noid from pizza hut (or dominos, I can't remember) but I never really understood what the max was. I thought he was from a movie or something. he seems to have made cameos in lots of stuff (back to the future 2 comes to mind). I kinda remember coke ads with him in them. I rented this video called "max headroom: the original story" for a dollar. right from the start it had an august huxley type feel, but it was very confusing and after watching it I still don't get it. I think it was the first episode of this series I just read in here about. I really don't understand. I wish I did. from the brief 2 scenes you actually get to see max he seems cool. sorry, I really wish I understood, but I don't.
