Movie Road Trip featuring Atari...

[KAZ]

I recently watched the movie "Road Trip", featuring Tom Green.

 

I noticed that two characters were wearing Atari logo shirts. I thought it was most unusual. I was curious if one of the producers of this movie liked Atari, or might have worked for Atari, etc. etc.

 

I placed this topic in the Atari 2600 section, not being sure which was the most appropriate forum to place it in.

 

If you can find a better home for this topic...

I think tom green likes atari. on the e3 coverage on g4 they asked him what his favorite games were he said that he likes pacman and dig dug.

I remember seeing the movie and the first thing that caught me was one of the characters had an Atari T-Shirt on. I have managed to find about 4 Atari related T Shirts here locally so I was struck immediately by the fact that one of the characters has the T-Shirt.

 

I am curious as to why it was included in the movie other than the fact that they were taking about a specific event in the past and maybe they were making a reference to the fact that Atari was a large company during that time frame. Otherwise I don't remember it being a very important facet to the movie.

I think it was used to make the geeky guy look more "geeky", no offence all

 

The Atari t-shirt was ditched when he became cool and dated that fat girl

later in the film.

When i watched the film, all my mates laughed and pointed at me just because he was wearing that shirt!
