  Vancouver writer/director Cameron Labine’s moody romantic comedy Control Alt Delete hits cinemas April 23rd, 2010.
  
  Set in the not to distant past, Control Alt Delete explores fetishism, addiction and love in the information age.
  
  The year is 1999 and loveable computer geek Lewis Henderson is dumped by his long time girlfriend Sarah. So he does what any young urban slacker would: work less and beat off more to Internet porn. But with the added pressures of his buggy Y2K software and repeated romantic rejection, Lewis discovers that the website images no longer turn him on... and thus begins his strangely satisfying sexual relationship with the machine itself.
  
  But all honeymoons must end and Lewis's eye starts to wander from his dependable home desktop. His desire for newer, sexier models grows until he finds himself copulating with co-worker's CPUs. When his boss, Angela, vows to identify the "computer rapist", Lewis tries to throw off suspicion by dating the company's mousey receptionist, Jane. But there's more to Jane than meets the eye - with the new millennium fast approaching and a massive motherboard calling, it seems he has to choose between his freaky fetish and the tougher challenge of real love. Or does he?
  
  Winner of the 2008 Inspirational Award at the Vancouver Film Festival, Control Alt Delete stars Tyler Labine, Sonja Bennett, Alisen Down, Geoff Gustafson, Keith Dallas, Kevin James and Laura Bertram.

• "Control Alt Delete" Becomes Popular in the Movie World

  I always find it funny when two a new project gets coo
  king with the same name as another recently released film, or one on its way to being released. TIFF got a taste of Tyler Labine's lascivious leanings in the Canadian comedy Control Alt Delete, which had him sexing up computers, and now The Hollywood Reporter posts that Warner Bros. is getting in on the rebooting phrase with a new spec called Control-Alt-Delete from writers Tim Kelleher and Danny Zucker. I guess the dashes make all the difference.
  
  Instead of focusing on the world of millennium crashes and computer hardware fetishes, the film is being described as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure meets The Matrix. So, two stoner dudes jump back and forth through time, only to realize that they're not jumping through time, but through computer programs? Will they then, gasp, fear being deleted with a reboot? I don't know, but that's my guess.
  
  I can't tell you to check out Labine's comedy in the meantime (even though you should -- it's funny), since it doesn't have a release date yet, but maybe you can hunt down the same-named horror short made in 2004. Or just find a PC, hit ctrl-alt-delete and see for free!
