haha this thread is cracking me up.
I always noticed the way they can zoom into a detail and make the resolution beter no matter what.
Or any email program was way over the top with gigantic text and animated shit all over the place. I've never seen a mail program like that in my life.
Any one see Disclosure?

Then the 'computer wizz' selects the illegible liscence plate and presses the 'magically make crisp, clear and highres' filter and it magically zooms in to show a perfect photo of the liscence plate.
happens all the time in films.

another movie with bullshit computer interface and mail program was 'Copycat' with Sigorny Weaver.

or that super mega hi tech computer in Jurassic Park with the virtual 3d interface that is useless and that nerdy little girl sits down and wiggles her fingers over the keyboard for 3 seconds and secures the whole island.

or the GODAWFUL 'Independence Day' when they take out the aliens capable of intergalactic space travel with a Mac lap top. So, SOOOOO dumb.

you should write a book about this dopepope, and each picture will be captioned: "So, SOOOOO dumb."

uh, nothing to do with computers really but...
whenever anyone goes to the refrigerator in a movie, there's always fried chicken right there in the front.

interesting discussion subject:
use of computers in films and how it affects clients' expectations for design work.
In other words, people watch CSI then assume designers work in the exact same way.
Examples:
"Just photoshop that nighttime photo to make it look like daytime"
"move the box on the site from the left to the right"
*recodes CSS layout*
"Okay, now move it back"

these things can all be done. Just not with the one magic click.
and of all leftovers, the fried chicken is the first to go!

stupid stuff on movies:
1) under-sized nerds who hack systems in 5 seconds
2) typing about 1500 characters to scramble a traffic light.
