Can we try to make a definitive list of movies and TV shows here? Now I'm curious. I've been thinking of all kinds of movies, some "hacker" movies others just movies where "hacking" appears. Here is what I have so far based on what was referenced in the article and what I could think of off the top of my head.

I rewatched Johnny Mnemonic a few years ago and when he said, "I can store 80 gigs of data in my head" I chuckled and said "Whoopdie doo. I have a 160 gig iPod in my pocket." :)

My humble additions.

I question just how "famous" some of these quotes are. :)

I don't think I've seen the Special Edition. I remember Five Doctors ending with the 4th Doctor and Romana running into the TARDIS and it dematerializing (with the Doctor's scarf stuck in the door IIRC). :)

Let's really complicate things. The 4th Doctor episode Shada was never finished or aired. Would it still be considered canon? :) Or would the audio/flash animated version of it with the 8th Doctor and Romana II (who in the audio adventures returned from e-space and eventually became Lord President of the Time Lords)

Having grown up watching the 4th Doctor in the early 80s one of my biggest problems with The Five Doctors was that it made Borusa into a villain. I liked the semi-recurring character and wasn't happy he went power mad. :)

I thought the Peter Cushing movies were made because Terry Nation had written the two stories that the movies were based on and also had/has the rights to the Daleks, similar to how the non-canon Bond movie Never Say Never Again was made because the writer had the rights to SPECTRE (or something like that).

I think more science minded folk have a right to be concerned when the people opposed to science have so much control over what ends up in the classrooms across the country.

Or if you just want to confuse the hell out of your friends and have them think you're a little demented suggest Frank Miller's Hard Boiled with amazing art by Geof Darrow. :)

I remember the Prius discussion on Warehouse 13. And wasn't there something about Twizzlers on W13, too? Or some snack that Myka couldn't get enough of? :) I remember it being really amusingly blatant. I think I just wrote that off as product placement, but I guess placement would just be something visible in the

What would an in-show ad be? Is that different than product placement? I know that once Sci-fi and other channels started using more and more intrusive "bottom of the screen" ads for other shows while a program was on the less I watched. I like to be sucked into a show and those types of things take me right out of

J.K. Simmons in the first episode of Oz. Damn.

I did go and watch DC Cab shortly after seeing your post. I thought it was still pretty funny. Adam Baldwin really was a stringy bean pole in that movie. :) And young Bill Maher looked like Breckin Meyer.

I would love to see D.C. Cab again. But I first knew him as My Bodyguard.

Spoiler Alert: Santa Clause DOESN'T appear to battle the aliens. Hope I didn't ruin anything for you.

Yeah, it really is both. I mean, the closing credits for ED2 say "the sequel to the ultimate experience in gruelling terror." But the beginning of ED2 also "reboots" for lack of a better term the beginning. Instead of four friends in a cabin, it's Ash and his girlfriend. You see Ash play the recording of the reading

Actually, I only think of one word... "Groovy."

Doesn't anybody remember that the first Evil Dead movie didn't have the slapstick comedy and one-liners? That didn't start until the remake/sequel Evil Dead 2. I'll wager a Dead Guy Ale that Ash never utters the word Groovy in the first movie. The first movie was a straight horror movie.
