Cronenberg's Scanners

The scene when Cameron Vale (Stepehn Lack) uses a phone booth and his telekinesis to hack the computer system. Remarkable because it was the first time I saw the idea of the internet imagined on film (probably not the first time this happened, but the first I remember). Often WarGames gets all the love, but that comes two years later.

I don't care what anyone says. This is a brilliant movie!

hmmmm...the delicate psyche apparently is capable of melting telephones, lol.

@gravecactus I tried doing the same thing to my Xbox 360. It melted, and I had a major headache...but it was worth it to cheat in Monday Night Combat. :D

@jsbeerman

damn, your 40.

your cool. you must enjoy reapeating yourself too? (it seems that way)

"full blown nerd"

try to expand your vocabulary.

and once again, im not a nerd just a fan of David Cronenberg.

Oh! and before you try an comment back reapeating yourself again, let me say this:

ANYONE could have picked up on what i said. You are just too narrow minded and dumb to catch it.

i didnt ponder. It instantly came to mind.

[jsbeerman]

@tjonahue Actually i am in my 40's....and I will say it again; ur a super NERD. If ur going to ponder films of greatness....try films by John Ford or Orsen Wells.

[tjonahue]

@jsbeerman

not at all.

to waste your time commenting on something which you know nothing about, makes you...

say the big words with me IGNORANT.

i find it funny that because someone has a natural understanding of film, makes them a nerd.

listen kid, i bet your 12 years old looking for something fulfilling to do. go read a book or something asshole.
