    I always forget Matthew Lillard is like 6’5” (195cm). I know he’s tall but damn they must have him standing in a trench or put his costars on boxes to level shots a bit because he’s towering over everyone in that pic and he’s not even standing up straight lol.

    There’s a spiritual successor to Hackers that I’d like to see, and here’s the way you generate the script for it:

    It’s a parody of a heist film. It has to be built like a comedy because the protagonists are going to be employees of a penetration testing company who are hired to do a physical security exercise on a big bank or a tech firm or something. There’s no stakes because if they get caught they’re just going to say “Yeah you caught me, here’s my letter, call this manager and we’ll go from there” so it’s got to be kind of farcical. To fill out the details of the script, get Deviant Ollam and Jayson Street together over whiskey and hire a stenographer to take notes.

      It can start out a little like Office Space, doing all the standard tricks like walking in the front door with your arms full and in a hurry. And it always works. Until they hit the final boss: an IT security worker who has built an impenetrable fortress inside the company. Then it turns into Mission Impossible.

        I’m thinking of a story Deviant Ollam told where he was outside in the parking lot doing tricks distracting security while his team wrecked ass inside.

      I don’t think so, she was better known for Mr and Mrs Smith and Lara Croft but whatever she did in Salt was what tanked her and justifiably so

        Is Salt worth watching at all?

          I saw it at the cinema and vaguely remember enjoying it well enough. It’s not a great movie, but it’s not awful, either. I didn’t know that it was supposed to be terrible; it looks like reviewers gave it a slightly better than average score.

          I don’t expect ever to watch it a second time, if that helps.

          Lara Croft and the Cradle of Life, though… All I can remember about it now is that afterwards, my friends and I agreed that we should’ve trusted our instincts and just walked out after about 30 minutes.
