I just saw the funniest movie ever, and Dan Aykroyd was nowhere to be found!

[Pesty]

I don't really understand what either Mod... er... Midis or Pesty were saying, but for the record, this is what I meant:

The movie was terrible, and thus funny, and also Dan Aykroyd is one of the funniest people ever.

That should be clearer.

I was making a joke. I loved that movie Trading Places and find Dan Aykroyd very funny. I just couldn't let a line like that pass me by.

And by that I mean "OMG DAN ARKOID SUXX LOLOLOLLORZ".

I think it's like Rebel without a Cause how they made the motorcycle gangs appear ... totally feeding off of a stereo type of how the masses envision those people.

I should point out that the director of Rebel Without a Cause, Nicholas Ray, researched the movie by riding around with several LA gangs, so it's not exactly feeding off a stereotype of how people envision them. Also, the film used one or two real gang members to teach other James Dean how to street fight. If anything, RWAC is a more accurate movie than most.

Also, I can't remember many motorcycle gangs in the mvoie. From memory, most of them drove around in souped-up cars.

But most Hacker-like movie aren't very accurate.

I remember The Net with Sandra Bullock. There was a scene in the beginning where she was playing Wolfenstein 3D while on the phone to some guy telling her it was such a violent game and that the kinds would love it.

And that time, Doom was already out.

Also, I don't remember any virus being uploaded when you press a certain button, but maybe I had an older version.

Let that be a lesson to you: Wolfenstein is spyware!

Another sign of how evil the Nazis were!

Hmmm ... I must be thinking of another movie??Ã,  My knowledge of movies doesn't go back much further than the 70's unfortunately.Ã,  I'll dig for the movie I'm thinking of.

And yes ... Nazi's are evil!!

You also have to take into account how exposition and character development of movies in the 1960's was handled.  Rebel condensed a lot of teen angst into one day and night.  Now a days, that film would be told over, most likely, a set of days or weeks.

Hack the Planet !

I only saw the the end part of The Net D: but it seemed decent-ish (and it is kind of true that in the future, with ID cards and all coming, it might one day be possible to just... 'delete' someone.)

The Net makes Howard the Duck look like Citizen Kane.

Hackers is funny. I enjoy it, even though i know its actually nothing like real hacking.
Sneakers was a bit more realistic. Operation Takedown was even more realistic.

Howard the Duck.. Now.. That was a good movie.

Howard the Duck IS Citizen Kane.  Can'tcha see?
