Blackhat, the best movie of the year, no of the decade!

Didn't find it interesting. No plot twist or anything.

One thing I did find interesting was the Android part. Imma fanboy Android

Really? Come on, don't you remember when the white guy got out of prison? I was almost sure he was going to kiss that Chinese guy.
 


I am not clear on what you are talking about here. Are you saying the Hong Kong police are totally fine if one of their own gets gunned down by a South American mercenary? Or are you saying that the general public is totally fine with the cops getting gunned down by mercenaries?

The former, its the most accurate depiction of Hong Kong police I have every seen.
 
I really enjoy Acidie's sarcasm and all other gems here but guys... really... he is a blonde-haired man with muscles... for almost 99% of the time it's nearly the exact equivalent of blonde girl with big tits you can see in the video above. Do you expect him to have at least some knowledge and understanding of how computers work? (because if he had such knowledge, he would not agree to play in such a movie)

He was born to play vikings, Thor, greek athletes... Playing a nerdy hacker is just not his style.

As we all know, true hacker should look like the guy from (O_o) post - big fat guy in glasses, most likely with the beard and so on...
 
I am confused - it was not THAT bad for this thread to be sarcastic and not good enough for this thread to be genuine :)
 
Michael Mann is super talented. Did some breakthrough stuff with that Tom Cruise flick Collateral back in the day.
 
Fell asleep halfway through it. Didn't bother to try again. It was dumb but not terrible from what I saw. Just another bullshit cookie cutter completely predictable movie.
 
I enjoyed the movie, 50% of my enjoyment comes form watching it, the other 50% from people not able to work out if I'm being serious or not.

Side Note: I wouldn't mention it, but he posted in this thread so it's sort of relevant.

We wont be hearing from Kiopa_Matt for a while, since one of his dogs got lose and mauled a small girl and he's currently facing criminal charges.

I don't follow the news here in Thailand, but a friend down in CM told me about it.

It's caused a huge stink since the girl, who is 3 years old, is a native Thai and Kiopa_Matt is a westerner.

The local CM media is going batshit over it with headlines like "Fulung dog attacks Thai child" and "Fulung should face the death penalty for attack on Thai child".

A fulung for anyone who doesn't know, is a Thai word for Westerner.

The media in CM is using this to push the agenda that white people should be kicked out of Thailand, which had been a growing movement after the coup.

Best of luck Kiopa_Matt, may you be spared the hell that is a Thai prison.
 
Found my way back to this thread after watching this movie last night.

- Shitty plot, unnecessary and terrible American accent from Hemsworth, Asian chick with SHITTY Engrish accent who has so many fucking lines in the movie WHYYY?, hacking scenes with mostly nonsensical combinations of commands or terminology.

- Checking the guys USB stick for an windows file .inf that is supposed to auto run when plugged into a Linux system, wat.

from IMDB

(at around 25 mins) The 'flash drive' that supposedly transmitted an autorun virus is actually a yubikey 2-factor verification key with no storage functions like a flash drive.

- Logging into every computer with root and a password. Top notch security by the hackers and places hacked huh?

- Asian chick telling us that the HE USING ONION ROUTER TO MAKE HIS IP TOTALLY ANONYMOUS AND UNTRACEABLE. Tor is nothing special and that scene was shit.

Watching hackers in movies as a kid is what made me fall in love with IT. Watching hackers in movies as an adult makes me scream.

Fat boy confirmed.
 
The technical stuff in "Mr. Robot" is mostly legit, but it does the thing with the IPv12 addresses too.

They should at least set up sites on real IPs that they use on film.

I remember on 24, everyone was obsessed with pipes.

"Jack, we decrypted the softwares, he's trying to set off some nukes"
"Chloe, I need you to pipe that shit over to my laptop so I can track this motherfucker down"

I'm beginning to think they do this on purpose, like to stop retards from attempting to attack the address or something. But I'm probably reading to much into it and the writers are just dumb.

Just watched the first episode, reminded me of Fight Club with the voice over, the slide into insanity and the "let destroy the credit records".

It will be interesting to see where they go with it, would be an interesting twist if it turns out he was just a pawn for E Corp and they just used to him to resolve an internal power struggle. But they wont go that way, he has to be the hero so it will turn out to be some major conspiracy or some shit.

Going to watch the rest though, it's a decent production and at least the main character is a complete fuck up, not some super hacker with all his shit together and mad bitches on his dick.

are you kidding me?
 
Watching hacker movies/tv shows as a kid = Wow this is so cool
Watching hacker movies/tv shows as an adult = Wow this is fucking retarded

LOL, where the fuck did that come from? And do you actually say the word "fulung" while you're here? I'm assuming you get some unexpected smiles when you say it? heh.

"Fulung". heh, I might give that a try myself, just for shits & giggles to see the reactions.

If you're curious, it's either "farang" or "falang", depending where in the country you are, as the R and L are interchangeable depending on dialect. Since you're a white guy though, you should stick with "farang".

And yet again you fail at enlightening us about the magic that is Thailand.

Stop reading thaivisa, it's rotting your brain.

Faar-lung is the way I have always said it and I've never had a problem with people understanding me, they might be taking pity on you and your horrible pronunciation because of your obvious learning disability.
 
Actually yes, I've heard "farang" quaite a lot of times but fulung - never.

Just like all of your "expertise" with Chinese culture?

I would not take this seriously, however, it's Acidie, after all.

"Look at me guys, I'm cool like you, hahaha."

"I've only been a member for 2 months and I have no fucking idea what WickedFire is actually about, but I'm cool right? Right?!?!?!"

Fuck off back to selling hosting for kiddy porn to pedophiles, you fucking poser.

Or are you going to cry about bullying again? Need some Kleenex and a hugbox?
