The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released the two finalist nominees for its new category, Best Display of a Macintosh Computer in a Feature Film.
And the nominees are:
Serrated Edge Agent Matt Gallatin is never without his Intel Core 2 Duo processor 13.3-inch, 2.0 ghz, 1Gig RAM, nearly one inch thin, 5.2 pounds, MacBook100% perfect for anyone who wants power in an affordable package.
High in the mountains of a dangerous Asian nation, he uses his MacBook to call in B-52 airs trikes on terrorist targets and simultaneously talk to his true love Samantha in SoHo and his mother in Portland, while also downloading the latest secret briefing memos from Langley. Scarcely do we ever see Matt without his MacBook, always positioned so that the distinctive bitten apple logo is there for all to see, a symbol of his modernity and determination to vanquish evil.
The Macheads in every audience always spontaneously jump to their feet and cheer in the final scene when Matt plunges 200 feet over the Ziahoga water fall in the Bora Bora jungle, only to bob to the surface in the swirling currents, using his MacBook as a flotation device that saves his life.
Six Is Enough In this charming comedy, Janeth is a fifth grade school teacher by day. By night Janeth engages in six simultaneous online love affairs using six separate 17-inch iMacs each with a 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2MB of L2 cache, iSight, iChat, USB 1.0, Firewire 400 and intuitive menus, large text and brilliant graphics that let you browse the music, photos, and videos on your iMac as easily as you browse music on your iPod.
With the six iMacs lined up on a table at the foot of her bed and their iSights turned on, scantily-clad Janeth leaves audiences in stitches as she writhes on the bed, fakes masturbation and races from one iMac keyboard to another to respond to her lovers, all the while leaving each one totally unaware of the existence of the other five. The last three minutes of this film are not to be believed, but be warned: don’t try such shenanigans with your own iMac without an Apple certified repair technician in the room.
