(low-res) video: SQUID Device from Strange Days - YouTube

This is the actual hero prop used in the movie. The ‘face plate’ was interchangeable to make it look like several different units throughout the film. I made this video just to show that it still functions and what the prop actually does when turned on. (Which isn’t much, some LEDs come on and the disc inside spins up…)

    What a great movie. It’s remarkable that it was about y2k and had no mention of the y2k computer bug.

    I’m your priest. I’m your shrink. I am your main connection to the switchboard of souls. I’m the magic man, the Santa Claus of the subconscious. You say it — you think it — you can have it.
