Someone labelled Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech infamous in a presentation, not knowing the meaning of the word. The tutor corrected him explaining the mean of the word<br /><br />Until then I always used them interchangeably Myerlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772428029534463716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241042113714033295.post-8467897686704449782016-05-27T13:37:10.643+01:002016-05-27T13:37:10.643+01:00HA!

I know there have been one or bad ones (the Woody Harrelson one for instance) but i never knew they were looked upon badly.<br /><br />Anyway, I've only seen Disconnect, which I have also picked this week, pretty good and I even liked all the stories so the film never felt episodic. Though, with the catfishing story surely the kid should have picked up on the lack of facebook friends/activity on the account?Myerlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772428029534463716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241042113714033295.post-60825354083636668872016-05-26T19:08:12.642+01:002016-05-26T19:08:12.642+01:00I'm with most everyone else in not having seen...I'm with most everyone else in not having seen these three though this is the second mention of 5th Estate so now I'm intrigued.<br /><br />Odd that for something that is so widely used the internet rarely lends itself to really timely gripping movies. The technology moves so fast that the films date very quickly. I had a little trouble finding three that I really liked and quite frankly Untraceable outside of Diane Lane isn't one I'm overly fond of. My last pick while being the most antiquated remains my favorite since its more about the adventure of the story than specifically the net.<br /><br />Untraceable (2008)-FBI Special Agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) works in a division that fights cybercrime. World weary and jaded she is still shocked when confronted by a killer who posts live feeds of his crimes on his website, the more hits the site gets the faster the victim dies. Determined to stop him she and her team try to capture the killer before time runs out. <br /><br />The Net (1995)-Virtual recluse Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock) is a software engineer who works from home as a freelance expert with few friends outside of cyberspace. One of those friends sends her a program with a weird glitch for her to de-bug. She discovers secret information on the disk just before taking her first vacation in years. While on that trip she meets an mysterious attractive stranger, finds herself embroiled in a web of computer espionage and her life endangered. <br /><br />WarGames (1983)-Young computer whiz David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) finds a backdoor into a system he mistakenly believes is devoted to games which he attempts to play. It turns out that he has accidentally infiltrated the US government’s computer and may have initiated the lead up to WWIII. Assisted by a young girl he’s sweet on (Ally Sheedy) and the inventor of the system he tries to stop the game before it’s too late. Made when computers on a personal user level were a relatively new phenomenon this is a solid adventure with a very winning Broderick in the lead.<br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241042113714033295.post-84624149479427919782016-05-26T17:25:31.817+01:002016-05-26T17:25:31.817+01:00I haven't seen any of your picks but do want t...I haven't seen any of your picks but do want to see The 5th Estate.
