WarGames Sequel Now Filming
iluvcapra writes "This news is a little late, but on November 20th WarGames 2: The Dead Code began filming in Montreal. (I only became aware of the new production when I read that MGM is suing the rightful owner of WarGames.com for his domain name.) The film will be produced and distributed by MGM — distributor of the original WarGames — and directed by Stewart Gillard, director of such gems as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3. Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes, the team behind the original film, are not involved. The plot revolves around a hacker breaking into a terrorism-simulation computer."

The owner of wargames.com should give MGM the domain, on one condition.
They beat him at Tic-Tac-Toe.
This appears to have been in the works for about 3 years.
The current escalation from both sides (one starting a shop, the other actually making a movie) can only lead to one thing.
This can lead to a global thermonuclear war.
the only way to win is not to play at all.

Even more peculiar, this movie appears to have only 2 cast members. Thank goodness they got THIS GUY cast as the Hotdog Vendor. I think he's gonna nail the part!
Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.
They tried to get Uwe, but he didn't like the way the producers were looking at him, so he punched them out.
Dear Kid Zero,
You suck. Also, you smell funny.
Have a Merry Christmas, you ridiculous philistine!

The chances that I would see this movie just went from slim to none.
Bahh, just download the torrent. That'll teach the fuckers.
Seven puppies were harmed during the making of this post.
This movie will be as popular as Firewall.
You know, the one with Harrison Ford. He's a network security specialist.
HAN SOLO! INDIANA JONES! RICK DECKARD! DOING NETWORK SECURITY!
Well, if you can't get the nerds out to watch Han freakin Solo do Network Security...
On the number of LCD's _the_ super computer has attached to it.
The only way to win . . . is not to watch.
The plot revolves around a hacker breaking into a terrorism-simulation computer.

Remember when you asked me to tell you when you were being rude and insensitive? You're doing it now.
I get my mindless plot-holed terrorism fantasies from the US Govt.
The plot outline from IMDB (unedited, though it pained me): Computer hacker Will Farmer (Lanter) engages a goverment super-computer named Ripley in an online terrorist-attack simulation game. Little does Farmer know that Ripley has been designed to appeal to potential terrorists, and certain glitches have turned made him become paranoid.
So, this kid plays Counter-Strike against some bots? He's in de_dust, plants the bomb and starts thinking, "gee..terrorism sure is a bad thing, and by playing this game I'm almost condoning it. I must have been born to be a terr'ist. Better go turn myself in now...[logs off]"?
Sounds like a wonderful movie.
Anyone else think the comments just weren't rendering right before they turned off ABP and saw ads?
Well...we sure turned off Caden's.

But if you don't see the movie, you might miss out on Jean-Robert Bourdage's performance as the hot dog vendor! And you know it's gonna be good, because only him and Matt Lanter have signed on to the production, according to IMDB.
Hot Dog Vendor: Kid, you don't have what it takes to hack into a terrorism-simulation computer.
Will Farmer: I'd like mustard and ketchup on my hotdog.
Hot Dog Vendor: Will, it's too dangerous!
.... The domain that they grabbed got hijacked by some kid named David.
This is my opinion. To make sure you don't steal it, it's covered by the DMCA.

But this is slashdot. A slashdoter who didn't build his own computer is like a Jedi who didn't build his own lightsaber!
Yeah, but what if the ball of snakes was on a plane. A plane with nuclear weapons, a gang of convicts, a plucky pre-teen girl and her dog, and the president! Then the plane crashes in NY, and the only hope is to send in more snakes! That would be so cool.
I'm sure they're planning to remake all of Matthew Broderick's films including "Ferris Bueller's Day Off 2 - Skippin' Work" where the now middle-aged Ferris and Cameron miss work to grow their sagging beer bellies and watch strippers all day.

Unfortunately, Halle Barry's breasts weren't in all of them. Several could have used the boost. I know it certainly helped Swordfish.
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
I think the subject needs more study. I'll work on Halle, you on the guy next to you. We can compare notes later. :-)

Raging in an online forum won't do anything for the world around you. To see change, you must take action.

Now I'm not saying this movie will be a bomb, but the KKK just tried strapping an advance editing screener copy to Al Sharpton's car bumper the other day.
And that's the message of the film, that we shouldn't blindly act like machines and destroy the world.
"Sufferin' succotash."
Obviously.
I'm loving the fact that some hairy-arsed nerd on Slashdot is implying that he'd kick Halle fucking Berry out of bed for farting.
Now, admittedly, if she was eating toast in my bed, and got crumbs everywhere, I'd have to consider my options. But really, c'mon...
Name me one person in the real world who is completely evil, other than Hitler.

I'm sure he meant Riddilin, the new product from the makers of Smilex. One of the side-effects is getting green question mark-shaped rashes.
