EW.com’s resident Flash guru, Mark S. Luckie, just presented a collection of 12 tech toys that we’d love to steal from the movies and TV. Which one makes your wish list? (Feel free to go off-script and choose something we didn’t.)
Let’s see. I’m a practical girl. My life isn’t sticky enough to warrant Men in Black‘s Neuralizer… Anyone who saw Annie Barrett and me hitting each other in the face yesterday with the "New Arrival" balloon Oxygen sent over to promote Tori & Dean knows I shouldn’t be trusted with a working lightsaber… Click‘s universal remote sounds rather appealing, but I’m guessing there’s some moral there about not f’ing with time… I don’t really want a plug in my head, so I’ll just have to hope that Trinity is around if a helicopter needs to be flown… Assuming Star Trek‘s beam machine isn’t considered a "toy," I’ll have to go with The Fifth Element‘s makeup applicator (pictured). Not because I’m vain, but because I’m clueless when it comes to that stuff. You?
Agreed. I suck at makeup and always remark that I would love one of these when I watch The Fifth Element.
I also agree with the Fifth Element applicator, especially for nails. I remember a similar version in ‘Total Recall’. That would be great for those ‘What the h3ll’ after work drinks.
Can I just say that that photo is freaking me out? The angle makes it look like her finger is her lips and it’s just really disturbing somehow.
Maybe it wouldn’t be classified as a toy, but I want the Star Trek replicator. It would save so much time on cooking and cleaning up, not to mention shopping; I could just ask for clothes that fit and are comfortable, instead of trying on a million outfits. The transporter would be cool, too.
The makeup applicator because I suck at putting on makeup.
I want a sonic screwdriver like the Doctor uses on Doctor Who. That thing does everything. Wait, no, scratch that, I want a Tardis. No more worrying about gas prices!
Colour me a nerd, but I would love to zip around in space & time in the TARDIS (from Doctor Who)
I’d like to have “Ziggy” from Quantum Leap. Then again, it is just an iPhone…
Kudos to the list-makers for including 2 Back to the Future items. I’ve wanted a hoverboard ever since the first time I saw part II…many moons ago…
Hm. I do quite fancy the Tardis. How about a Tardis that comes with the makeup applicator if I CALL NOW!!!
Easy…KITT. (Although he’d probably object to being called a gadget.)
If not KITT, then I’ll take Willy Wonka’s glass elevator from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” though I’d probably put stickers on the wall so I don’t slam into it repeatedly.
Way easy. Another TARDIS vote, here.
Love the make-up thing in the movie and *super* kudos to the prop person who made it a Chanel compact
Lightsaber definitely!
Also, hydrospanners, although I have a suspicion that it’s just a fancy name for wrench.
I want my very own “Gigolo Jane” female robot prostitute from A.I.!
I want a Phaser with a stun setting. would love to go to the movies with that in my pocket, the first cell phone that rings…phaser that moron.
