Spoilers What Movie Are You Watching?

Another computer-related movie that might be of special interest to Mac users is 1995's The Net, starring Sandra Bullock as a software engineer. Some of the scenes were shot at that year's Macworld San Francisco, and IIRC Sandra's character uses a Mac.

I remember from that era when everybody was excited about this new technology… and the movie industry cashed in.

Computers! The Internet! Hackers! Phoawarr!

All the keyboards and commands… every stroke and command all made sounds. Click, clack, tick, bleep, bloop.
And with that the huge login screens for the important passwords the "hacker" would guess in some devious and super "clever" way.

It was in retrospect so naive.

Good old days.

So true. All they had to do was flip over the wrist pad and read the pw!
(Or did the wrist pad vault make its debut in the early 2000’s?)

Disney's (Pixar's) Cars

Better than what/how I remembered it....but still the weakest of the first 7.

When my daughter was little, she used to be obsessed with this movie, it would run 2-3 times a day, for weeks

The first one is very good *if* you sort of just take in the story and don't think too much about the larger world of Cars because under any kind of "But how do/does ..." questions, it makes zero sense (and I say that in the context of talking fish and living toys ...)

Oh man, I remember seeing this at the movies when it came out, and the one thing I still remember vividly was how futuristic it felt to watch someone order a pizza using a computer!

An entertaining movie I still try to catch every time it's on TV.

In a couple of hours I'm going to be watching Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado. The first one was definitely one of my favorite films of the past few years (easily top 5 material), so I have high expectations for the sequel as well. Granted, it's by a different director, and the man in charge of the music for the first one, Johann Johannsson, sadly passed away, but still, I'm optimistic as at least Taylor Sheridan is again in charge of the script and Benicio Del Toro as well as Josh Brolin are on board.

Saw Ant-Man and the Wasp with the family on Friday night. It was simple fun with plenty of laughs thrown in. A great cliffhanger ending as well.

My family saw it on Saturday. We all enjoyed it.

A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)

Disturbed Blanche DuBois moves in with her sister in New Orleans and is tormented by her brutish brother-in-law while her reality crumbles around her.

Good lord, my younger brother was obsessed with Hackers. Think he went to the cinemas maybe 20x to see it with his mates. Granted, tickets were cheap then. He's definitely the science fiction snob of the family. The dark horse. The imperial grandmaster. The dork.

You Are Not Alone (1978)

Really good film!

 

[S.B.G]

All the President's Men (1976)

"The Washington Post" reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncover the details of the Watergate scandal that leads to President Richard Nixon's resignation.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

I went in with extremely low expectations(i wanted some mindless blockbuster fun), and this movie still managed to disappoint in every way.

This summer blockbuster season has been abysmal IMHO. I wonder why.

 

[ucfgrad93]

I agree, Fallen Kingdom wasn't nearly as good as Lost World.

 

[Tech198]

Ant Man wasn't bad. And that's coming from someone who doesn't remotely enjoy Superhero anythings. Though I did enjoy Deadpool for its candid humor.

Ant-man, in my view, was better than Deadpool...

Even Fantastic Four knocked it out of the water (and that is 2015 movie), I'd be surprised if Deadpool 2 could do anything to beef this up.

Mate, you've been under the sun far too long.

 

[S.B.G]

Clash of the Titans (1981)

Perseus must battle both Medusa and the Kraken to save the Princess Andromeda.

Hahaha, Fantastic Four movies are so bad they lapse into parody, and then come full circle into so-bad-it's-bad ...

Clash of the Titans (1981)

Terrific, the original is still so good, it has such a charm, like the old Sinbad movies - and just like those movies, had beautiful Ray Harryhausen stop-motion effects.
