PALs in Popular Culture
Over time PALs and PAL-like systems have appeared in numerous productions of the entertainment industry, often without being called such by name. For example, they can be found in films such as Damnation Alley (1977), WarGames (1983), Crimson Tide (1995), and The Sum of All Fears (2002), in the video game Metal Gear Solid (1998), or in the fourth season of the television program 24.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing—he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
