remember that movie hackers?

[sho.gun]

I was readin around online and found part of the script to the movie... enjoy:


:::start:::


INT. KATE'S ROOM.

Kate's room is empty, and Dade can't resist going back in
to play with her laptop, which far outclasses his own,
some more. On the balcony, Kate notices and comes back
in.

KATE
What the hell are you doing?

DADE
It's cool, I'm just looking.

KATE
It's too much machine for you.

DADE
Yeah?

Dade starts working furiously on it.

KATE
I hope you don't screw like you type.

Dade slows to a two-finger keypoke, not missing a beat.

DADE
It has a killer refresh rate.

KATE
P6 chip. Triple the speed of the Pentium.

DADE
Yeah. It's not just the chip, it has a PCI
bus. But you knew that.

KATE
Indeed. RISC architecture is gonna change
everything.

DADE
Yeah. RISC is good.

They uncomfortably exchange glances.


:::end:::

[hapoo]

p6?? i don't remember them saying that. But i do remember them bragging about 32 megs (or was it 16 megs) of ram i think?

[Hiro]

and their brand new 14.4 modem!

[ribitch]

at least they got the risc rules part right :D

[hang10wannabe]

i remember that movie! it sucked ass! yea!... jeez the two asian hackers in that movie are also gay... they just have to be gay ay? hehe... yea i couldnt stand it... the only good part was when angelina jolies boobs came out to play... go team!:heh:

[Hiro]

personally, i think it was a great movie for its time. i have it sitting on DVD right next to me. :P

[sho.gun]

yeah, back then when I don't know jack about computers it was cool. Actually now that I think about it, that movie played a big part in me getting started to tinker with computers... geez how time flies.

[hapoo]

When i saw it i already knew about computers so even though the movie was fun it was ridiculous as hell.

[SonyGuy]

"My name is Joey and, I'm not an addict. No really! See these guys showed up at my place and took my computer away and... could I get some more coffee?!"

:heh:

I thought the movie was pretty good for it's time like Corsec said, but yeah, a little off base...

[GraingerGuy]

Heh...I first watched it two years ago...and I about laughed my butt off when I heard those lines. :D

[DoPeY5007]

I liked the movie, it was crazy stupid :P

dude, how old are you, i think you need to get laid....:heh:

go hax0rs!!! i that that movie was the bomb when i saw it.

i thought it was funny how joey was trying to download that garbage file onto an A: diskette and it took forever...

"my name is the plague..." i never understood why he was a skater? and do all IT specialists look like PENN from penn and teller with some big @ss screen...with files constructed to look like the new york skyline? i think a lot of people got a misconception of what it looks like inside of a computer.

There was definately some "Artistic Licence" taken with the reality computer science in that movie. But face it. Having some geek typing in unix comands and only getting a prompt back would just not be to exciting for the average movie watcher.

Allowing for the realities of box office necessity, it was a great movie.

[CluelessSi]

HAckers was a pretty good movie back then....
kinda fake but o well =P

Actually I just watched Antitrust and i thought they did a GREAT job with it! While not entirely accurate, it was one of the more realistic computer movies i've seen.
