Geeky movies
September 6th, 2007
From Slaw comes a mention of a fun database of law-related movie and pop culture references. There are no movies listed about Internet law. You could say that they don’t exist, unless you count Hackers. Which, quite frankly, you shouldn’t.
On the other hand, the general sci-fi genre has a great record on law and technology more generally. Last year’s GikII had two great presentations on this topic: Andrew Adams, From 1984 to V for Vendetta via Minority Report and Andrés Guadamuz, Killer Robots, Evil Scientists and Other Tales of Woe: How Technophobia in Culture Affects the Law.

Thanks to you and Slaw for the link. But don’t slag off Hackers. It’s not a great movie in the sense either of Ingmar Bergman or of the Oscars, but it is an enjoyable movie with some very good lines and consistently high-quality acting from a uniformly excellent and high-powered cast
