manuel Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 wonder when it'll be available to actually watch -- sounds interesting :) Quote
stingwray Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 There always worth a watch, even if you don't gain much apart from a sense of history. Thanks for the heads up. Quote
metatron Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I find it hard to believe they got Kevin Spacey to narrate it. Quote
kainchick Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 This seems like it should be a decent movie... Quote
Dr Zaius Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Not a single mention of The Gibson or Zero Cool? Guess it could be worth watching then. Although it does seem they've missed alot of the notable hackerish people... I guess this will be a wait and see thing. If it turns out to be total crap atleast I've still got Freedom Downtime. :P Quote
metatron Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 A friend said this about the film and I agree with him 100%: I am dispassioante about this movie project and Kevin. One of the two directors was a sound man for screen savers. Neither director has any "street" credibility. This is one of those docu-drama's with people who have been on screen savers. Kevin rose doesn't have the credibility to be part of the hacking community. He's a mouth piece. Leo ... well he's Leo LaPorte. An opprotunist, and lacks the intelligence to unscrew a light bulb or the commonse sense to turn the light off before unscrewing it. Both of these "special" individuals are trying to get their "followers" to watch the film. IMDB says kevin is an actor. Kevin lacks even the basic acting ability to do gay porn. Quote
Arsenic Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Unfortunatly, he's right. It's kind of sad though, I would really like to see a propper "hacker" film. I wonder what affect a movie like that would have on the general public (If it were to play in theaters), would froums accross the net become swarmed with people wanting to "Learn to hack"? Or would it stay nice and low profile and never see the screen because the only movies that do are watered down, like the old movie "hackers" or when MTV did that show "Real life, I'm a hacker" show.

Phoenix Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 i want to see this, i liked the Hackers movie :P I know that is not how it is but it is still kool Quote
roo-boy Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 hey hey Leos alright, dont bag him out he may not know everything, but who really does?? Quote
Bigbro69 Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Lol, this doesn't sound like it has ANYTHING to do with hacking by the cast list... Quote
metatron Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 hey hey Leos alright, dont bag him outhe may not know everything, but who really does?? He's a tool and he knows little to nothing. Quote
Meta Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 First of all, I would like to say that the cast list is awesome. Steve Wozniak, Kevin Rose, Leo Laporte. Secondly, I would like to inform Metatron that Leo is the one of reasons that Hak.5 is here today. Quote

I respect Steve Wozniak he’s OK. Quote
Matt {Undead} Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 amg leo and kevin in it, i got to see this!! Quote
leetabix Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 Oh well, worth watching anyhow as there's not many things like this out there...or am I wrong assuming this? Quote
anyedie Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 woah, could this actually be a good hacker movie? Quote
metatron Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 woah, could this actually be a good hacker movie? No Quote
leetabix Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Looks like there's a divide here, as to who regards the people on this cast list as knowledgeable on the issues discussed in the film. However, my limited knowledge of Leo Laporte is that he's a very likeable guy that makes it enjoyable for people to listen and learn about computer information. Even if the man doesn't have an in depth knowledge of things, he's done a great service to people like myself that don't know a lot but want to learn with the limited time they have. Maybe his role on the film will be interviewing others who know more, we shall see. Quote
