This scene in Superman 3 Scared the crap out of me. I somehow linked this scene with the Sylvester McCoy Dr Who with the vacuums that ate people

A new “Neuromancer" teaser gives more details of AppleTV's upcoming series based on @GreatDismal's genre-defining cyberpunk novel. In the trailer, the mysterious Armitage hires ace console jockey Case to help him activate his legally-purchased copy of Microsoft Office 365. Frustrated by Case's failure and an endless series of “Unknown Error 0x0 “ pop-ups, Armitage orders street samurai Molly to kill everyone in Redmond, but she is unable to buy a plane ticket because the 2FA email never arrives.
