It wasn't full of people and in its defense that has happened to me, many stationary/print shops are 24 hrs and if you have work to print or something else for the next day you go whenever you can. god bless this stores, it has saved me many times.

Where I went to college, there was a 24-hour print shop near campus and you might find a lot of people - probably all of them stressed out students - in it at 2am. During the time this movie was out, email existed but not like we know it today - most email servers and programs did not have the capability of attaching documents to them so printing out documents was a lot more common as not everybody had printers in their dorms or apartments. And for those that did have printers, 90% of them were just black and white so if you wanted to do anything remotely fancy, you'd be at one of those print shops. Today, I'm not sure one of those 24 hour print shops would do so well, except in a super high traffic area like New York city maybe.
shareStill around, still busy because... no one thinks of print shops and borrowing computers. So, there are very few of them. The few that exist and are open 24x7 (lots of the Kinkos/FedEx things went to bad hours) are pretty busy with print and binding jobs for tomorrow morning at work, for school projects, etc.
sharemistake how? are you implying implausibility?
i don't think so, not at all. in 1995-6 this could have easily been realistic. during that era 24 hour places were banging all over the place, and especially in a larger or university town.
so i call foul on you calling foul
lol
Exactly. Kinkos (now owned by FedEx) was BUSY around 2 AM back in those days. I started my I.T. career the year this came out and on a few occasions I would get that email that said, "This HAS to go out by 8 AM tomorrow".
sharecool story. i remember it was thrilling how everything was lit up and alive at 2-3 am during my college days. the world is more lame and boring now, lol
shareLTUM, I couldn't agree more. I work from home now and every so often I need to just get out and go for a drive... windows down, music on... just to "think". It's funny how I can drive through my little suburban world and it's all lit up, but everything is closed. It's kinda lifeless...
shareKinkos in the 90s and early 2000s was HUGE. People doing projects had to print them out for meetings, and Kinkos made signs, had computers, etc. Back then the internet was in its infancy, so if you worked on a project and it had to be perfect for a meeting or to give a professor in the morning, you hit up Kinkos.
Here's an article from 1997 that really explains it:

YOU OBVIOUSLY STOPPED POSTING BASED ON THE EMBARRASMENT YOU SUFFERED OVER THIS POST...SHAME.

Or, based on the fact that this was originally posted 6 years ago on IMDB, the poster probably doesn't exist on MC.
This site pipes in the database of imdb, right? When did this site go live again?

Yes, MC imported the IMDB discussions before IMDB went defunct, but not the actual accounts of the IMDB posters. I set up a new account here using the same name I had on IMDB, but not everyone from IMDB came here.
AFAIK, IMDB no longer has live chats. All IMDB chats seen on MC are all 6 years plus old.
